NASB | Daniel 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate." |

Subject: Why do translators identify 2 individals |
Bible Note: Hi w123, I'm more of a 321 person but let me give you my view of the translations here. It is the age-old study of He and he or One and one. Daniel 9:26, "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing (no one) or as NKJ (no one)"for Himself." The verse goes on to talk about the prince, the evil one, in the NASB. The NKJ for verse 27 introduces due to its literary style a confusing "He shall bring to an end" to go along with the "he shall confirm a covenant" in the beginning of the verse. You can see a similar confusing example of *He or he* when you look at Daniel 8:24 and 25. For we see that the true understanding is that "he will destroy mighty men and the holy people", and "he will cause deceit to succeed by his influence", and "he will even oppose the *Prince of princes." By the way, use your 123 and see if the prayer found in Daniel 9:4-20 is not divisible by three. |
