Messiah the Prince is of course Jesus
The Prince of the "people to come" was Titus. He came, he destroyed the city and temple and he left. He went back to Rome. There is in Rome next to the Colosseum the Arch of Titus which commemorates this event.
You want to look past the guy who destroyed the temple, then rebuild another temple then have another Prince come declaring to be God in the next temple. Silly, if you ask me to ignore the obvious, add a 2,000 year gap not taught, build a temple not taught, then desecrate a temple not taught. 1+1=2, not 2002.
Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
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 shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
70 weeks,490 years,are determined upon Israel to get in the truth,which is to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah.
God gave Israel a blessing and a cursing in Deuteronomy,that if they followed God in the truth that God will bless them,and their nation would flourish,but if they disobeyed God for an extended period of time,God would give them a curse,and cause them to be led away captive by other nations,but each time He would also bring them back to their land.
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince 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 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.
Christianity was spreading,and Israel had 70 years to come to the truth that Jesus is the Messiah,but they did not,so God allowed the Roman Empire to overthrow Jerusalem,and scatter the Jews.
When the Jews were scattered in to the nations,they could not come to the truth that Jesus is the Messiah,and when they became a nation again,and to this day,Israel as a nation has not come to the truth that Jesus is the Messiah.
So the 70 weeks could have not been fulfilled,for at the end of the 70 weeks,Israel has to be in the truth that Jesus is the Messiah.
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Rom 11:28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
Israel is blinded in part,until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in,which Israel as a nation does not accept Jesus as the Messiah,and when salvation is no longer available to the Gentiles,when they take the mark of the beast,then Israel will not be blinded in part,but Israel as a nation will accept Jesus as the Messiah.
Israel is still blinded in part,so the 70 weeks have not been fulfilled,which the last week will be the time that God brings Israel to the truth,by way of 2 witnesses,fulfilling the 70 weeks,and causes all people that do not love Him to follow the beast kingdom,and take the mark,so God can end this sin business.
It is the man of sin,the antichrist,that establishes a covenant with Israel that causes peace in the Middle East,and the Jews will rebuild their temple,and go back to animal sacrifices with no hassle from the Palestinians.
Dan 8:8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven.
Dan 8:9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land.
Dan 8:10 And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
Dan 8:11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Dan 8:12 And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
Dan 8:13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Dan 8:14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Dan 11:21 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.
Dan 11:31 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.
Dan 11:32 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.
Dan 11:33 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.
Dan 11:34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
Dan 11:35 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.
Dan 11:36 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.
Dan 11:37 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.
Dan 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Dan 11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
Dan 12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Dan 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
Dan 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Dan 12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
It is the man of sin,the prince to come of the people that overthrew Jerusalem,that establishes that covenant,and also we see that this prince to come is in the time of the end,not back in the past in 70 A.D.,for he scatters the power of the holy people,which is during the last three and one half years of the 7 years period,and when he does that then comes the end when the Son shall deliver up the kingdom to the Father.
2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2Th 2:2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
2Th 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
2Th 2:4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2Th 2:5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
2Th 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2Th 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
In Daniel chapter 11 the last king does not regard the God of his fathers,and does not regard any god,and here he steps in to the Jews temple,and claims to be God,which he will tell them he is God,and their Messiah,and tells them to stop animal sacrifices.
Also the Bible says that the saints will not be gathered unto Christ until there is a falling away first,and the man of sin steps in to the Jews temple,and claims to be God,which has to be at the end time,coming in the future,for in the past back in 70 A.D.,there was not a falling away,for the Church was early in age then,and no person has ever exalted themselves as much as the man of sin will exalt himself,which he recognizes no God,and exalts himself above all people,which no person has ever done that to that level in the past,and is the time that God is going to allow him to deceive all people that do not love God,for it is time for God to put down the world that loves not the truth,so it could not of happened in the past.
Israel as a nation has 70 weeks to acknowledge Jesus as their Messiah,which they have not done yet,for they are still blinded in part,and the prince to come will establish a covenant,and Israel will go back to animal sacrifices,and the prince to come will step in to their temple,and claim to be God to try to deceive the Jews,but God will turn Israel to the truth that Jesus is their Messiah,and the 70 weeks will be fulfilled,for Israel will then be in the truth.
It is obvious that this happens at the end time,for the time of the abomination in the book of Daniel tells that it is in the end time,and in 2 Thessalonians it can only happen in the end time.
The 70th week has not been fulfilled yet.
Zec 12:1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
Zec 12:2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
Zec 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
Zec 14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
Zec 14:3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
Zec 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Zec 14:5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
When the man of sin claims to have harnessed the power of nature,and achieved more power than any other person can obtain,all that follow him will fight against Israel,in which the saints come back with God,and God saves Israel,and puts down the world.
This going against Israel was not in the past,for all nations of the world have never attacked Israel,so it is a future event.
