"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).
