But those six tenets of Daniel 9:24 are not yet fulfilled. That is perfectly evident in the world today.
What Jesus did, was to make it so they could be fulfilled. To finally happen at His glorious Return.
An example of the confusion of some here, is that it is the Holy Place that will be anointed, not Jesus; who was anointed at His Baptism.
I have to say that if a shuffling of scripture is required to make a theory work, then alarm bells ring and it is very suspect.
Completely disagree! You are looking at the world to determine if Jesus fulfilled His God given 6 elements to have been fulfilled.
Example: I have heard it said with tremendous conviction that Jesus did not fulfill them because sin still exists. Look at the world, people are still killing each other, it is a terrible place …
Well, they are indeed correct… the world is still fallen and sin abounds!
But Jesus did not come to eliminate sin in the world. He did not come to remove man’s “sin nature.” He did succeed in removing our sin should we place our faith in Him and the sacrifice on the cross. At our resurrection, He will not remember or see our sin. We will be clothed in His righteousness.
Do not look at the world or man’s sin nature, wars, disease, etc. Jesus indeed fulfilled all that was asked of Him!!!!!!!
And it is NOT the holy place that was anointed. It was the Messiah who was anointed at the time He was baptized in the Jordan on the first day of His ministry - the first day of the 70th week of the prophecy.
The physical structures- the Temples, the Sanctuary were holy ONLY because they housed the presence of God. Otherwise, just brick and mortar. Jesus is our Lamb of God, our daily bread, the light of the world, our High Priest, our Temple, and of course, our Sanctuary.
Those physical things were just a type and shadow of the coming Messiah. He fulfilled each and every one of them and had “done away” with all of them. His sacrifice on the cross eliminated the need for any animal sacrifices and offerings. The Temple, the Sanctuary were thrown down, never again to have any importance within His plan of salvation for mankind.
Still, there are millions who still look to a coming 3rd Temple, reinstate the animal sacrifices, etc., as if to say that His sacrifice on the cross was not enough, or did not take away our sin, etc.
All 6 were indeed completed and fulfilled. When Stephen looked up and saw Jesus standing to the right of God, he was telling us His sacrifice was indeed accepted, the heavenly Sanctuary was cleansed, and He could and would now be given the Kingdom… All things were now placed under His feet. It (His mission) was finished!
