OT - Daniel 9
#13
Yes, the preterists try to make the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple the completion of Daniel 9. According to Josephus Titus didn't even get to see inside the Holy of Holies until the entire temple complex was already engulfed in flames. There was just looting no time for idol worship.

Only after the whole place was burnt to the ground do they start sacrificing to their gods.
Jos 6.6.1 "1. AND now the Romans, upon the flight of the seditious into the city, and upon the burning of the holy house itself, and of all the buildings round about it, brought their ensigns to the temple (24) and set them over against its eastern gate; and there did they offer sacrifices to them, and there did they make Titus imperator (25) with the greatest acclamations of joy."

Notice they set their poles against the remaining stone wall. There were no high towers of the temple left for them to desecrate.

Interestingly here's another clue there was a language barrier between the Latin Romans and the Aramaic Jews
Jos.6.2 "So Titus charged his soldiers to restrain their rage, and to let their darts alone, and appointed an interpreter between them"







I'm coming to the realization that the 70 Weeks is a very violent prophecy.  But it's not immediately obvious in the English.  It should be nicknamed the "chopping prophecy" because there are a lot of allusions to cutting things into pieces.  Every time something is decreed or judgment is determined, it's from a root word meaning "to cut".

v24  70 weeks are determined or "chopped up" for the Jewish people
v26 the anointed one is "cut off"
v26b for the whole period of the the war of Jerusalem, desolation is determined (from a root word "to cut)
v27 at the end of the final 7 years, the determined (again from "to cut") judgement is given to the destroyers

All of the above are in the Hebrew passage.  The Aramaic uses an equivalent word that also means "decree" and "to chop" v26b and v27.  But interestingly the Aramiac word in v24 does not come from this root at all.  The idea there is that the 70 Weeks are being imposed or laid down onto the people.  It's a fascinating difference between the texts.
