Why 70 AD wasn't the abomination of desolationExcerpt from Kevin Kluetz'Other people have speculated that Titus, the Roman commander whose forces besieged Jerusalem in AD 70, was the "prince who is to come." Logically, this is impossible for three reasons. First, the passage tells us that the "prince who is to come" confirms a covenant after the Temple is destroyed. In the middle of the 'one week' period of that covenant (after half a 'week,' which is 1,260 days, or about 3 years and 5½ months, from the time he confirms the covenant), he puts an end to sacrifice and offering.It would have been impossible for Titus to have made a covenant after the Temple was destroyed, and then in the middle of the 'week' of that covenant (after 1260 days--about 3 years and 5 ½ months) to have put an end to sacrifice and offering. This is because after the Temple was destroyed there was no sacrifice and offering to abolish since there was no Temple. |
