Daniel 9:27 - A Misconception of the False Prophet and a Seven-Year Covenant

The beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) will not be on the world scene seven years prior to the Seventh Trumpet (1 Thess.4:16-17) to be able make a seven-year covenant.

The beast/false prophet will ascend from the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2) 1335 days prior to the ascension. Thirteen hundred and thirty-five days is 3 yrs., 8 mo., 15 days

The beast/false prophet will ascend from the bottomless pit AFTER the beast of Revelation 13:1.

The beast of Revelation 13:1 will be allowed to then CONTINUE (Re.13:5) with the beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) once the beast/false prophet has ascended from the bottomless pit.

The day that saints of the most High come to the 1335 days (Dan.12:12 below) prior to the ascension coincides with the beast/false prophet (Re.13:11) ascending from the bottomless pit (Re.9:1-2).

BOTH these beasts will then come against those blessed who have come to the 1335 days prior to the Seventh TRUMPET.

A misunderstanding of Daniel 9:27 (below) occurs when we look at that Scripture as referring to the false prophet.

A misunderstanding of that Scripture also occurs when we look at the time frame of that Scripture as years instead of DAYS, as it is written.

Daniel 9:25 speaks of Messiah the Prince.

Daniel 9:26 breaks the continuity of thought between Daniel 9:25 and Daniel 9:27, so that the “he” referenced at Daniel 9:27 refers back up to Daniel 9:25, Messiah the Prince.

Messiah the Prince is the Prince of Princes/Jesus Christ (Dan.9:25 below).

Messiah is the false prophet (Dan.9:26 below).

He (Dan.9:27 below) refers to Messiah the Prince (Dan.9:25 below), Jesus Christ.

ONE WEEK (Dan.9:27 below) prior to the Seventh Trumpet ascension (1 Thess.4:16-17), Messiah the Prince (Jesus) will confirm the covenant with many. The many during that last week will be the 144,000.

With the slaying of the two prophets (Re.11:8-12), Messiah the Prince (Jesus) will cause the sacrifice and the oblation of the saints of the most High to cease (Matt.24:9, Dan.7:21, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:24, Re.12:17, Re.13:7, Re.13:15, Re.16:6, Re.17:6, Dan.12:6-7). The slaying of the two prophets ends the tribulation except for the 144,000 who will endure to be those who are alive and remain at the ascension.

For the overspreading of abominations that have occurred (Dan.9:27 below), Messiah the Prince (Jesus) shall make the earth desolate, even to the consummation and that determined (the seven last plagues - Re.16:1), will be poured out upon the desolate (Gentiles - 1 Thess.4:5, Eph.2:12) remaining upon the earth after the ascension.


Dan.12:12 BLESSED (Re.14:12-13) is he that waiteth, and cometh to the THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE AND THIRTY DAYS. (1335 days)

Dan. 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince (Jesus) shall be SEVEN WEEKS (49 days), and THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS (62 weeks, or 1 year, 2 months, 14 days): the street shall be built again, AND THE WALL, even in troublous times.

Dan. 9:26 And after THREESCORE AND TWO WEEKS (62 weeks, or 1 year, 2 months, 14 days) shall Messiah (the false prophet - Dan.7:20, Dan.7:24, Dan.7:25, Dan.8:9, Dan.8:11, Dan.8:24-25, Dan.11:36, Dan.11:37-38, 2 Thess.2:4, Re.13:11-17, Re.17:8) be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince (Satan) that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Dan. 9:27 And he (Messiah the Prince - Dan.9:25 above) 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.
