Jesus and the six objectives of Daniel 9:24

Abstract

Although Daniel 9:24–27 addresses the Antiochene crisis of the second century bce, many of Jesus’ followers have read this passage with reference to his first and second comings. Following the typological example of the Old Testament and New Testament, this article considers how Jesus is another anointed one that replays the 6th and 2nd century worlds of Daniel 9 and thereby accomplishes the six objectives of Daniel 9:24.
