TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

9:27 The ruler (literally he): Most interpreters understand this pronoun as referring to the ruler of 9:26. Some think that it refers back to the anointed one of 9:25-26 and is thus a prophecy about Christ, meaning that Christ caused a covenant to prevail and removed the need for sacrifices and offerings by his death. However, the word behind make a treaty has the sense of imposing a covenant, evidently by the use of force or intimidation. Antiochus IV imposed a covenant with the people of Judea following the beginning of his rule in 175 BC (cp. 11:23; see 1 Maccabees 1:10-15). Other interpreters believe that this prophecy was fulfilled in the events of AD 66–70. For still others, it refers to a future ruler.
• The phrase put an end refers to a destructive action, not an act of God’s salvation such as the Messiah would accomplish by his death. In 167 BC, Antiochus IV ordered the people of Judea to cease all practice of Jewish worship in the Temple and instead practice pagan worship, on pain of death (see 1 Maccabees 1:41-63). Similarly, the Roman general Titus put an end to the sacrifices and offerings in the Temple when he destroyed it in AD 70.
• a sacrilegious object that causes desecration (literally an abomination of desolation): Cp. Dan 8:13; 11:31; 12:11. This expression (Hebrew shiqqutsim meshomem) is possibly a mocking play on the Semitic name for Zeus (Ba‘al Shamayim, “Lord of the Heavens”). Idol-gods are often referred to as shiqquts, “abomination,” “desolation,” elsewhere in the Bible (see Deut 29:17; 2 Chr 15:8; Isa 66:3; Jer 32:34; Ezek 20:7), and the similarity between the sounds of shomem, “devastation, destruction, desolation,” and shamayim is clear. In December 167 BC, Antiochus IV erected an image of Zeus atop the altar of burnt offering in the Temple court and sacrificed unclean animals there. The same phrase (abomination of desolation) is used in 1 Maccabees 1:54 to describe that altar and its sacrifices. Jesus and multiple New Testament authors anticipated a desolating sacrilege in the future (Matt 24:15; Mark 13:14; Luke 21:20; 2 Thes 2:3-4). After Titus destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, the Romans set up their idols in the Temple precinct and made sacrifices to their gods (see Josephus, War 6.6.1). The apostle John later observed that many antichrists had appeared (1 Jn 2:18-23) and that the spirit of the antichrist was at work in the world (1 Jn 4:3).
• The time of destruction is under God’s control, and the fate decreed for this defiler is certain to come (cp. Dan 7:11; 8:25; 11:45). So it is with every ruler who exalts himself against God and seeks to destroy God’s people.

TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

The Seventy Sets of Seven

The seventy sevens (or weeks) of Daniel 9:24-27 have always puzzled students of the Bible. Although difficult to assign to a precise period of history, the seventy sets of seven are significant: They demonstrate God’s sovereignty over history and emphasize his ability to bring his plans for his people to completion. The number seventy (seven times ten) represents completeness. For example, the seventy years of exile for God’s people (9:2) were enough to chastise them. The two main interpretations of the seventy sets of seven are presented here.

SCENARIO A: THE REIGN OF ANTIOCHUS IV (175–163 BC).) The seventy sets of seven refer to history from Cyrus II of Persia (539 BC; see 9:25; Ezra 1:2-4) to Antiochus IV (175–163 BC; see Dan 8:23-25; 11:21-39). In this scenario, the “Anointed One” was the high priest Onias III, and the “ruler” (9:26-27) was Antiochus IV, whose treaty with the people of Judea in 174 BC was supposed to allow them to practice their faith peacefully. In 170 BC, Antiochus attacked Jerusalem, killed many, and looted the Temple. Then in 167 BC he put an end to the sacrifices and offerings, forced the Jews to stop practicing their faith on pain of death, and desecrated the Temple with a “sacrilegious object”: He placed a statue of Zeus on the altar of burnt offering, where he sacrificed pigs and other unclean animals (cp. 11:21-35). Antiochus was struck with a painful disease, and he died in 163 BC—“The fate decreed for this defiler” was “finally poured out on him” (9:27; see also 8:25; 1 Maccabees 1:10-24; 6:7-16; 2 Maccabees 9:1-29). In Scenario A, when Jesus spoke of the “sacrilegious object that causes desecration,” he was referring to the Jews’ experience in the time of Antiochus as a paradigm of the things that would happen in the future (see Matt 24:15; cp. Luke 21:20; 2 Thes 2:3-4).

SCENARIO B: THE DEATH OF CHRIST (AD 30 or 33). The seventy weeks are a prophecy concerning Jesus Christ, the anointed Messiah. In this scenario, the “seventy sets of seven” began either with the decree of Cyrus (538 BC; Ezra 1:1-4) or with one of the decrees of Artaxerxes (458 or 445 BC; Ezra 7:8-26; Neh 2:1-10). The death of Christ then occurred either at the end of sixty-nine sets of seven (seven plus sixty-two, Dan 9:25-26) or at the midpoint of the seventieth (9:27). These two options have implications for how the seventy sets of seven are brought to completion. In the first option, the seventieth set of seven is seen as a future time not yet fulfilled. In the second option, the seventieth set of seven is seen as having been completed when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in AD 70. If the decree of Cyrus is seen as the starting point, the 490 years are symbolic. However, if the decree given to Nehemiah to rebuild the city (445 BC; Neh 2:1) is taken as the starting point (Dan 9:25), then there were very nearly 483 years (69 x 7 years) between that date and the death of Christ in AD 30 or 33.

Option 1: The Seventieth Set of Seven Remains to Be Fulfilled in the Future. Many interpreters have argued that Christ’s death occurred at the end of the sixty-ninth set of seven, and the seventieth set of seven is yet to be fulfilled. In that case, there is now a long gap from the sixty-ninth set of seven to the seventieth. The seventieth still lies in the future and corresponds to the reign of the Antichrist during the tribulation at the end of history (see 2 Thes 2:3-12; 1 Jn 2:18-22; 4:3; 2 Jn 1:7; Rev 13:1, 5; 16:13-14; 17:11; 19:20-21; 20:10).

Option 2: The Seventieth Set of Seven Was Completed When Rome Destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple. Other interpreters have held that the seventy weeks were fulfilled with the coming of Christ, his death and resurrection, and the destruction of Jerusalem and its Temple in AD 70. In this case, Christ began his ministry at the end of the sixty-ninth set of seven, around AD 28. He ministered for approximately three and a half years, then was killed in the middle of the seventieth seven. The remaining half-seven ended when the “ruler”—one or more of the Roman rulers—destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple in AD 70. The war and its miseries now continue between God’s people and the kingdom of this world to the very end, when Christ will return, judge the wicked, and establish his Kingdom.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:1–27: Daniel asked God to help Jerusalem and received a message from Gabriel concerning seventy weeks

The vision recorded in this chapter occurred during the first year of the reign of Darius (538 B.C.). Thirteen years had therefore passed since Daniel received the vision described in chapter 8. Daniel was now more than eighty years old.

Daniel had read in the book of Jeremiah that God’s people would remain in exile and serve the king of Babylon for seventy years (Jeremiah 25:11). During that time the city of Jerusalem would remain in ruins. However, God had promised to bring his people back to the land of Judah after the seventy years were over (Jeremiah 29:10). Now Daniel realized that the seventy-year period was almost at an end. He prayed for his people and for Jerusalem. In response, God sent the angel Gabriel to reveal what would happen in the future.

Paragraph 9:24–27

The interpretation of this paragraph is extremely controversial. Scholars do not agree as to how or when the words of Gabriel were or will be fulfilled. It is therefore important to translate the text as it stands, without attempting to explain any past or future fulfillment. It is probable that the prophecies were (or will be) fulfilled in more than one way and at more than one time. Antiochus Epiphanes defiled the temple in 167 BC, and Jesus saw the destruction of Jerusalem by the Roman army in AD 70 as another fulfillment (see Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14). Daniel’s words may also have reference to the end times. It is therefore recommended that the translator use vocabulary that permits multiple fulfillments. The translator should not include notes that allow for only one way of understanding Gabriel’s words.

9:27a

And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week,

The leader will make a strong/binding treaty with many people for one week of years.
That ruler will make a firm agreement with many people for seven years.

And he will confirm a covenant with many for one week: The subject of the clause he will confirm a covenant is not made explicit. It may be God or the Messiah, or it may be the foreign ruler mentioned in 9:26b. It is good to leave this ambiguous, as the BSB has done.

he will confirm a covenant with many: The Hebrew clause that the BSB translates as he will confirm a covenant with many indicates that the ruler, or possibly the Messiah, will make a treaty with many people, possibly many groups of people. Here is another way to translate this:

he will strike a firm alliance with many people (NJB)

for one week: The Hebrew phrase that the BSB translates as one week is literally “one seven.” Again, this phrase refers to a week or period of seven years. The text does not indicate when this one week will occur. Presumably this period of time occurs after the end of the sixty-nine weeks and forms the seventieth and last week. The translator should not try to identify this time period with a particular time in history.

9:27b

but in the middle of the week he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.

In the middle of that week/time, he will cause sacrifice and offering to stop/end.
He will stop the offerings and sacrifices after three and one-half years. (NCV)

but in the middle of the week: The phrase the week here refers to the same time period mentioned in 9:27a. Other ways to translate this include:

halfway through this week (CEV)

after half this time (NLT)

when half this time is past (GNT)

he will put an end to sacrifice and offering: Many scholars consider that the pronoun he here refers to the foreign ruler. It is recorded that Antiochus Epiphanes had a pig sacrificed on the altar in the temple in Jerusalem in 167 B.C. In this way he desecrated the temple, making it unholy and unfit for the worship of Yahweh. All sacrifices and offerings to Yahweh then stopped. However, other scholars indicate that it could also be said that God or the Messiah chose to put an end to sacrifice and offering.See Steinmann p. 474. It is recommended that you leave the subject open or ambiguous, as in 9:27a.

The Hebrew, like the BSB, uses the singular forms sacrifice and offering. Since this refers to sacrifices and offerings in general, in some languages it will be natural to use a plural form. For example:

he will end all sacrifices and offerings (CEV)

he will put an end to sacrifices and offerings (GNT)

sacrifice: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as sacrifice normally refers to an animal sacrifice burnt on an altar to honor and please Yahweh.

offering: The Hebrew word that the BSB translates as offering normally refers to grain, oil, or wine that worshipers offered to Yahweh.

9:27c

And on the wing of the temple will come the abomination that causes desolation,

On the wing of the temple he will set up an abominable/disgusting thing that desolates/destroys.
He will raise up a horrific/repulsive and destructive object.

And on the wing of the temple: The Hebrew is literally “and on the wing.” The meaning of this is uncertain. It may refer to the top corner of the temple mentioned in Matthew 4:5 (“the pinnacle of the temple”). Or it may refer to the protrusions at the corners of the altar that are sometimes called horns (see 1 Kings 1:50, Psalm 118:27 and Revelation 9:13). You may wish to follow the translation most commonly used in your area. The NRSV says that the meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain and suggests the phrase “and in their place” (that is, in place of the usual sacrifices and offerings).

will come the abomination that causes desolation: In the year 167 BC, the Greek ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanes set up a statue of the Greek god Zeus in the temple in Jerusalem.You can read about these events in the Book of 1 Maccabees, chapter 1. This can be found in between the Old and New Testaments in a Roman Catholic Bible such as the NJB. Again, in the year AD 70, the Roman general Titus, son of the emperor Vespasian, set up an idolatrous sign of Roman power in the second temple.Jesus referred to this event as a fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy. See Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14. You can read about the historical events in the writings of Josephus. Both these events can be understood as fulfilling this prophecy. Some scholars consider that there may still be a further fulfillment to come. It is best to translate literally and not to indicate when the fulfillment may have taken place. Other ways to translate this include:

The Awful Horror will be placed on the highest point of the Temple (GNT)

Then the “Horrible Thing” that causes destruction will be put there. (CEV)

the abomination that causes desolation: This is a slightly different Hebrew phrase from the phrase in 8:13e that the BSB translates as “the rebellion that causes desolation.” Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the appalling abomination (NJB)

a revolting/disgusting object that destroys/devastates

the “Horrible Thing” that causes destruction (CEV)

In Matthew 24:15 and Mark 13:14, Jesus used this phrase to refer to the Roman army and the desecration of the temple that was to take place in AD 70. Therefore, there seem to be multiple fulfillments of this prophecy. In your translation, you should translate the Hebrew text without indicating how the prophecy was fulfilled.

9:27d

until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him.”

Finally the fate that God decided will take/overcome the one who destroys.
At last God will pour out on the destroyer the final punishment that he/God planned.

until the decreed destruction is poured out upon him: The Hebrew text is more literally “until the end that was/is decreed is poured out on the desolator.” This is a passive clause with two passive verbs (decreed destruction and is poured out). There are two ways to translate these verbs:

using passive verbs. For example:
until the fate that is decreed for this defiler is finally poured out on him (NLT)
until the decreed end is poured out on the one who destroys (NET)
using one or more active verbs. God is the implied subject. For example:
until the one who put it there meets the end which God has prepared for him (GNT)
until the time God has decided to destroy this one who destroys (CEV)

the decreed: The Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as decreed means “decided, determined.” It is implied that God is the actor. He decided or planned destruction of the one who was causing desolation. For example:

God has decided

God planned

destruction is poured out upon him: In many languages it will be impossible or meaningless to say that someone’s end is poured out on him. In those languages it may be necessary to translate the meaning, that this person has a violent or sudden death. In many languages that will be expressed in idiomatic language. For example:

he meets his doom

his fate comes upon him

him: The pronoun him here refers to the one who places the abomination in the temple. The Hebrew text says “the desolator,” that is, the destroyer. Here is another way to translate this:

the one who destroys (NET)
