"Consider the vision" is telling Daniel that this is a future end of time event. Verse 25, ..."to build the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." When Jesus returns and rebuilds Jerusalem that will not be in "Troublous" times. The war will be over and Jesus will already have flooded Jerusalem as the result of an earthquake at his arrival. Jesus will not be cut off at this time, the war is over! So, to build Jerusalem unto the "Messiah the Prince" cannot be building it for Jesus the Messiah. This must be for a false Messiah-Prince. Jerusalem will be bombed during the first part of World War 3. A new religious building dedicated to the false Messiah will be built in Jerusalem during the 2nd part of WW3. 26 "And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself"; I believe this means that Christianity will be cut off but not the belief in Jesus. The false Messiah-Prince will accept Jesus but not as the Messiah. 27 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. The covenant is the WW3 peace treaty that takes a week to draw up. During the midst of the week of negotiations, Christianity will become a forbidden religion. The sacrifice (Christian prayer) and the oblation (a solemn offering or presentation to God; the belief in the doctrine of Jesus as the Son of God, the Body and Blood of Christ as Savior) will cease (by worldwide governmental law). Christianity will be considered an abomination that is the cause of war. It will become desolate (not allowed to be practiced), even until the consummation (up until the true Messiah, Jesus returns), and that determined (punishment for people that refuse to deny their Christian faith) shall be poured upon the desolate.
