* "He" = Antichrist
* The 70th week is a yet-future 7-year tribulation period.
* Antichrist makes a false covenant with Israel, breaks it halfway through (3.5 years), and causes the "abomination of desolation."
* This view often includes the Rapture, the rebuilding of the Temple, and the rise of a global leader.
Aligns with Revelation (chapters 6–19) and Jesus' words in Matthew 24
Key Themes and Connections:
* Covenant: Daniel 9:27 begins with a deceptive peace treaty made by the Antichrist.
* Abomination of Desolation: Central turning point — aligns with Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24:15.
* 3.5 years + 3.5 years: Common division in both Daniel (9:27; 7:25; 12:7) and Revelation (11:2–3; 12:6; 13:5).
* Global Leader: The Antichrist mirrors the Beast in Revelation 13.
* Temple Rebuilt: Implied by need for sacrifices to be stopped (Dan. 9:27).
