Because that is part of the Daniel prophecy, as I'm sure you know. God says that the man who confirms a seven-year peace contract with Israel will be the one who stands in the temple and declares himself to be "god". Also, the Scripture makes reference to a "he", not a nation or a kingdom, so we'll need the name of the "he" in the Roman empire that confirmed a seven-year peace contract with Israel.
Can you give me any independent historical record that verifies that the Romans confirmed a specific, seven-year peace contract with Israel in 70AD?
“Did the Romans confirm a seven-year peace contract between Israel and the nations?”
I presume you that are speaking about the Covenant in Daniel’s 70th Week, 9:27a:
“And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease ...”
Notice that it says NOTHING about a ‘seven year peace deal’, as you so declare. Aboslutely zero. So, again, this is merely another figment of your imagination.
What Covenant is Daniel talking about in verse 27?
... a promised one from the Old Testament?
... or, one that was never promised - but is supposedly future (to us)?
a) Before Daniel’s prophecy, God promises a Covenant with Judah and Israel, ... Jeremiah 31: 31:
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:”
b) During the 70th Week, in the very midst of the week, Jesus Himself confirms that same Covenant, ... Matthew 26: 28:
“For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
c) After its fulfillment, the epistle writer reiterates the confirmation of this Covenant, … Hebrews 9: 15:
“And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”
So, clearly there was a Covenant already promised to Israel and Judah in-place by God, and fulfilled in Jesus Christ during the 70th Week!
Therefore, since the Covenant of Daniel’s 70th Week was at the Cross of Christ, there can be no ‘future-to-us’ 70th Week, nor a ‘future Rapture’ for that matter either.
However, note that the dispensationalists must totally fabricate their ‘future covenant with Antichrist’ completely OUTSIDE of Holy Writ.
Another additional significant point here. God makes a Covenant with man hundreds of times in the Bible. NEVER does Satan make a covenant with man.
Therefore, those who force a ‘seven year peace deal by the antichrist’ into Daniel’s 70th Week impute a horribly aberrent and sloppy reading of God’s Word.
Again, the important question:
Is this fake ‘seven year peace deal’ really worth REVERSING Jesus for the Devil, just to preserve your ego here?
I pray that you will repent for your Disppensational sin.
In Christ Jesus, Amen.

Do you ever examine your assumptions?
