I also agree the "HE" in Dan. 9:27, is Jesus. No explanations given or needeed, except good Bible exposition does not call for changing horses, in midstream.
And I say it is not "good Bible exposition" to treat that "he" of Dan.9:27 as our Lord Jesus. Why I say that is because the removing of the daily sacrifice and placing of the abomination that makes desolate involves the following Scripture in Daniel 11 also.
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)
Dan 11:21-24
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.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
(KJV)
Dan 11:31-37
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.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
(KJV)
The Romans never made it inside the Jerusalem temple; it caught fire beforehand. Per our Lord Jesus, the abomination of desolation is about false worship inside... the temple (Matt.24:15; Mark 13:14). Antiochus Epiphanes (165-170 B.C.) serves as the final pattern for placing the abomination of desolation in a temple in Jerusalem.
It's those type of events which involve the Daniel prophecy, not some philosophical spiritualizations of those who practice mysticism with familiar spirits deceiving them.
