Let’s be clear about the 70th week in Daniel 9:27 — it cannot be Christ’s crucifixion.
Verse 27 says “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”. The “he” is the coming prince, the Antichrist, not Christ.
Christ was already cut off after the 69th week (v.26), ask yourself why it doesn't say 'at the beginning, or in the middle' so the 70th week is a future seven-year and the antichrist covenant with Israel.
“In the midst of the week” happens 3½ years into that covenant, when sacrifices in a rebuilt temple are stopped and the abomination of desolation is set up.
Again, Christ was cut off after the 69th week (Dan. 9:26), and Israel entered a period of spiritual slumber (Romans 11:7, 25). This is the prophetic pause where God turned to the Gentiles — that’s how the Gentile Church is grafted in (Rom. 11:17-24).
The Jews today do not recognize Messiah, and they are preparing for Him by rebuilding the third temple. When the two witnesses complete their ministry in the middle of the 70th week, Christ will return to Israel and reveal His scars — showing them the truth of what they did (Zech. 12:10).
Seeing this, Israel will repent, and all 144,000 will be sealed (Rev. 7:4-8).
