Bible Note: Hi Stokeyhk, Prophecy and end times are not "my thing" but I would like to make a comment on your last paragraph and Daniel 9:26. Capitalization is my interest. One can be confused about who "he" is and whether it is God when one looks at the NKJ with its literary style of capitalizing the first word of each line. In that version it says that He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering, but because the word comes at the first of the line it is confusing. The thing that can pinpoint the "he" is the first of the verse where it talks of the "prince " who is to come. This is in contrast to verse 25 where both the NASB and NKJ talk about Messiah the Prince. That is the Prince of princes of Daniel 8:25. Also, I would like to talk about Daniel 9:26 and a reference verse that is given for that verse. Daniel 9:26, "And after the sixty-two weeks (Messiah) shall be cut off, [Suffer the death penalty]but not for Himself." Parenthesis is for comparison and brackets are for the alternate reading in the NKJ study bible. The reference verse is 1 Peter 2:21, "For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in (His) steps, WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH." By comparing these two verses we see that the Prince of Daniel 9:25 is Christ who suffered for us. We are to follow in His steps because He is sinless and He suffered the death penalty for us.
