Who is the prince that comes out of the old Roman empire in Daniel 9:27?
The prince is identified as the Antichrist. He arises from the boundaries of the old Roman empire and confirms a covenant or treaty with many, including Israel and her neighbors. Midway through the seven-year week, he causes sacrifice and oblation to stop.
Les teaches that Daniel 9:27 describes the Antichrist, the prince coming out of the boundaries of the old Roman empire. He will confirm or make a treaty with many, likely involving Israel and the Arab world, because the whole Middle East is a powder keg. This peace agreement begins the final seven years. At the midpoint, after 3 1/2 years, he causes Israel's sacrifice and oblation to stop. Since sacrifices require a temple, this implies Israel will have a temple operating by the midpoint of the tribulation.
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.
