Dan 9:27
27 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, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
KJV
I wish the KJV translators had done a better job translating that above verse, particularly about that "overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate" idea, which is actually about the coming Antichrist at the end of this world in Jerusalem placing the "abomination of desolation" which Lord Jesus mentioned at a new stone temple the unbelieving Jews will build at the end of this world.
The Daniel 11:31 verse gives a more accurate translation about that future "abomination of desolation"...
Dan 11:31
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
KJV
Strike any... idea that that "abomination of desolation" being placed is about a literal destruction of the temple, like in 70 A.D. by the Roman army under Titus. That above "pollute the sanctuary of strength" idea is about a SPIRITUAL DESOLATION of the temple in Jerusalem by the placing of a literal IDOL abomination in false worship. The temple in Jerusalem MUST be standing for that to happen.
And immediately prior to that IDOL being placed at the future new temple, the daily sacrifice shall be taken away. That can mean only one thing; that old covenant sacrifices had started up again just prior... to the placing of that IDOL at the future temple. This is actually what that Daniel 9:27 verse is pointing to also.
That raises a question then; just what is that idea of the confirming of the covenant, and the fact that the old covenant daily sacrifices will have started up again, only to be ended once the Antichrist places that IDOL abomination at the future Jewish temple? And mind you, for sacrifices to be going on in Jerusalem by the unbelieving Jews on the Temple Mount requires... a new stone temple existing. Today there is not one, but only the Islamic Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount. Yet the Zechariah 6 prophecy about The BRANCH (Messiah), and is that He will build the temple when He comes, and the orthodox Jews know this.
Daniel 11 is where we are shown more detail about that Dan.9:27 idea of the confirming of a covenant:
This "vile person" of Daniel 11 will be the final Antichrist to come to Jerusalem for the end of this world, in the last generation that will see Christ's coming afterwards.
Dan 11:21-23
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
KJV
There is that idea of the confirming of the covenant of Dan.9:27. Above we are shown it is about the making of a "league" when that "vile person" becomes king in Jerusalem.
Dan 11:28
28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
KJV
After that "vile person" as king deals with the king of the south, he will return to Jerusalem and "be against the holy covenant". What holy covenant?? The old covenant, which required a temple and daily animal sacrifices, events that today's ultra-orthodox Jews in Jerusalem plan to re-establish at Jerusalem.
(The ultra-orthodox Jews in Jerusalem have had the cornerstone of the new 3rd temple already cut and ready for a couple of decades now. At one time they even tried to place that cornerstone on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, but the Israeli police stopped them, because the U.N. has given the Arabs control of the Temple Mount.)
Dan 11:30-31
30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
That "vile person" will then return to Jerusalem, and have indignation against that "holy covenant", and will meet with those false Jewish leaders of the "synagogue of Satan" that set him up as king, as they also forsake that holy covenant.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
KJV
Then that "vile person" will end... those daily sacrifices at that new 3rd stone temple in Jerusalem by the Jews, and instead he will place that "abomination that maketh desolate" IDOL at that new temple, just as Antiochus did back in 165 B.C., and demand that all... bow in worship to it, or be killed.
That will be a REPEAT of what Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did in Daniel's day with setting up a gold idol image of himself, and demanding that all bow in worship to it at the sound of the psalter, or be killed. Nebuchadnezzar's false prophets sneaked around to see if Daniel would bow to that idol and he did not, so they turned Daniel in, and that even though Neb liked Daniel. The decree to have anyone refusing to bow killed was already decreed though, so they cast Daniel into the lion's den (see Daniel 3).
The parallel to that is what we are shown for the coming "great tribulation" per the end of Revelation 13...
Rev 13:14-17
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
KJV
So there's what that confirming of that covenant actually is. It means a re-establishing of the 'old covenant' by the orthodox unbelieving Jews in Jerusalem for the end, and it will allow them to build their future 3rd stone temple in Jerusalem, and start up old covenant style worship again.
27 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, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
