    • On the whole one could say that present-​day Jewish interpretations fall short on two basic points:

      1. They tend to minimize the importance of this prophecy, totally ignoring its stated purpose to bring an end to sin and iniquity and to establish everlasting righteousness.

      2. None of these standard explanations accurately fit into any reasonable time calculation, which was the very purpose in giving Daniel this prophecy in a form that could be used to determine when the fulfillment would come about.​—Compare Daniel 9:2.

    • “He will cause sacrifice and gift offering to cease” (Daniel 9:27, NW): Jesus spoke of his death as a sacrifice. (Matthew 20:28) It brought a culmination in God’s eyes to the sacrifices offered under the Law covenant. (Hebrews 8:1-13) Jesus’ sacrificial death provided the basis for all that was mentioned in Daniel 9:24.

      It would bring forgiveness of sin.

      It confirmed God’s promises and prophecies.

      It provided a legal basis according to God’s standards for everlasting righteousness in the future.
