I believe the key to understanding Daniel 9:24-27 is recognizing that God does not have in view in these verses a literal, physical city or temple that was to be built or destroyed. Rather, He has in view the city and the temple which is the body of believers, which was to be build by teaching the law of God. He also has in view the cutting off of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the spiritual city and sanctuary.
Daniel 9:24-27
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. 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. 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. 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.
We must always compare scripture with scripture and remember that the Bible is first and foremost The GOSPEL which includes God's Judgement for sin and His Mercy in Salvation. And that God uses types and figures to both reveal and hide Truth. It is not about the political nations of this world which will ultimately be destroyed. It is about the Kingdom of God which is an Eternal Kingdom. And to demonstrate the Glory of God.
