A fulfillment of Daniel 9:27 from the Talmud, That Explains the Abomination of Desolation.

| A fulfillment of Daniel 9:27 from the Talmud |
Four
signs of many that reveal Jesus of Nazareth as the cut-off Messiah who made
all sacrifices and oblations in the Temple to cease.
Here
we see the prophet warning us that after the messiah is cutoff, all the
oblation would have ceased. Anyone who continued to offer these blood
sacrifices of bulls and rams became a partaker of an abomination that only made
him desolate and they would be punished in the end for Jesus the Lamb of God
fulfilled all sacrifice and oblations to the satisfaction of the Father.
It
is recorded in the Talmud that Rabbis and the children of Israel observed the
fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy immediately after AD 30 when Jesus was
crucified. Since the physical temple was still standing until it’s destruction
in AD 70, The priests who had not yet understood the divine mystery of the
Messiah Jesus continued to offer their usual sacrifices of the morning and
evening oblations and also the Yom-Kippur (Day of Atonement) sacrifices but
business was not as usual…
In
Mas Yoma 39b:4-6 the
Talmud reads……’Our Rabbis taught during the last 40 years before the
destruction of the temple, the lot for the Lord did not come up in the RIGHT
HAND; nor did the CRIMSON-COLOURED STRAP become white; nor did the WESTERNMOST
LIGHT shine; and the doors of the Hekal (the temple/sanctuary) would open by
themselves.
The
lot marked “Of the Lord” never came up in the right hand of the high priest.
To
begin with, during Yom-Kippur, the high priest would present the two identical
he-goats before the Lord to cast lots on them. One lot was “For the Lord” and
the other lot was “For Azazel”. Now, it was viewed as a good omen of the Lord’s
approval if the priest drew out the lot written “For the Lord” with his right
hand. This was the common outcome before AD 30 however, for forty years until
the physical destruction of the temple in AD 70, the lot written “For the Lord”
never came up in the right hand as recorded in:
Talmud-Mas, Yoma 39b 4-6:
“Our
Rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the
Temple, the lot (For the Lord) did not come up in the right hand”
This
shows that the sacrifices offered after the crucifixion and resurrection of
Jesus Christ were not approved by God.
The
crimson-coloured strap did not turn white
Secondly,
It was procedure that the he-goat with the lot marked “For Azazel” would bear a
crimson strap tied to it into the wilderness while a similar crimson strap
would be tied in the Temple, which would miraculously turn white before the
congregation of Israel, a clear sign that the Lord had accepted the scapegoat
for the removal of their sins as well as the blood sacrifice for the covering
of their sins for that year.
However,
as Talmud-Mas, Yoma 39b 4-6: “Nor did the crimson-coloured strap become white”
Talmud-Mas.
Rosh Hashanah 31b …” For forty years before the destruction of the Temple, the
thread of scarlet in the Temple placed after the other piece was tied to the
scape-goat, never turned white. But remained Red”
This
clearly showing that the Lord did not accept animal blood sacrifices for the
forgiveness of sins anymore. Why? Because Jesus the perfect sacrifice had
already been offered ushering in a new covenant, thus animal sacrifices were
nothing but an abomination before the Lord which only made all those who
offered them desolate and unable to attain unto repentance through that old
covenant method.
The
westernmost light of the Menorah began to go out with the rest
Further,
there was a continuous wonder witnessed in the Holy place which was: the light
of one of the candlesticks of the Menorah never went out even after the oil ran
out. It was the Westernmost candle which the priests would kindle all the other
candles after refilling them with oil from it.
Talmud-Shabbath
22b:6-8…” But it was a testimony to mankind that the Divine presence rests in
Israel. What is the testimony? Said Rab: That was the branch (of the
candelabrum) in which the same quantity of oil was poured as into the rest, and
yet the priest kindled (the others) from it and ended therewith…”
However,
after AD 30, that light of the westernmost candle began to go out with the rest
whenever the oil ran out. This miracle ceased.
In Mas
Yoma 39b:4-6 the
Talmud reads “nor
did the WESTERNMOST LIGHT shine;”
Did
this mean that the Lord had abandoned Israel? Far from it for it meant that all
mankind, Jew or Gentile were invited to come to the Father through His ordained
way-belief in Jesus Christ the Messiah.
The
doors of the Temple began to open by themselves.
Lastly, an
impossible-phenomena took place in the Holy place that opened the Temple to all
humanity. The doors of the Temple, which divided the Holy place from the outer
court began to fling open by themselves.
In Mas
Yoma 39b:4-6 the
Talmud reads “the
doors of the Hekal (the temple/sanctuary) would open by themselves”.
This
was such a spectacle since these doors were so large they required several men
to open or close them. According to Josephus, the doors separating the outer
court from the Holy place were about 49 feet high and 24.5 feet wide and could
only be opened by several men.
This
miracle coupled with the torn vail that covered the Holy of Holies indicated
the access that all of us were given after the death of Jesus to seek the
Father without any human mediator but only through Jesus as our mediator as it
is written in 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one
mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
With
this fulfillment of Daniel 9:27, Jesus had literally destroyed the physical
Temple and the works of worship that were to be done therein long before the
actual destruction of the Temple in AD 70. He destroyed it and rebuilt the
temple in three days which is the body of Christ, the church made up of all who
believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah for the salvation of their souls.
In Matthew 24:15 “When ye therefore shall see
the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the
holy place, (whoso-readeth, let him understand:)”
Here, Jesus, confirming the prophecy in
Daniel 9 as the Messiah that was cut-off and caused all sacrifices and
oblations to cease, forewarned us about the events that would take place just
before his return: where a physical Temple will be built again. Men shall
revert to offering animal blood sacrifices therein, just as they did under the
old covenant. He tells those who shall witness this to flee and to reject any
form of “Christ/Messiah” that shall be presented in those days, either in the
form of a person or a sacrifice. He advises that the elect should persevere in
faith in him, until His return, where he will destroy the son of perdition (2 Thess
2:4) with the brightness of his coming. He cautions, (whoso-readeth, let him
understand:) Amen.

Teaching is based on my understanding of Daniel 9:27, with insights from the
book ‘The Messiah Codes’ by Luis Narciso.)
Reflection:
Only the KJV translation of Daniel 9:26,27 can
allow us to arrive at the above interpretation. All the other translations
present “The prince who shall come” (The Anti-Christ) as the one who shall
cause the sacrifices and oblation to cease, and who shall set up an abomination
of desolation in the Temple. This may cause many to err in interpretation and
thereby err in understanding. What do you think?

Frequently Asked Questions on Daniel 9:27
-
Who is the “he” in Daniel 9:27, and what does this verse mean?
The blog explains that “he” refers to the Messiah (Jesus). Daniel 9:27 says that after confirming God’s covenant the Messiah will be “cut off” and then all temple sacrifices will end In this view, Jesus’ death causes the Temple sacrifices to cease – fulfilling the verse’s promise that “sacrifice and oblation [will] cease” when the Messiah is cut off. -
How do Talmudic records show this prophecy was fulfilled?
The post cites the Jewish Talmud (a key collection of rabbinical teachings) about unusual Temple signs in the 40 years after Jesus’ death. For example, on Yom Kippur, the high priest’s lot never came up “For the Lord,” and the scarlet ribbon left in the Temple on the Day of Atonement never turned white. These miracles stopped happening, indicating God was no longer accepting the old sacrifices. The blog points out that these events match Daniel’s warning that after the Messiah is cut off, animal offerings become unacceptable. -
How did Jesus’ death fulfill the prophecy and end temple sacrifices?
According to the blog, Jesus’ crucifixion accomplished Daniel 9:27. It explains that by dying and rising, Jesus “destroyed the physical Temple” (in a spiritual sense) and “rebuilt” it in three days as His own body (the Church). As the perfect Lamb of God, His death “brought an end to all animal sacrifices” making any further offerings “abominations” (no longer accepted). In other words, Jesus became the final atonement, so believers no longer need temple sacrifices. -
What lessons does this prophecy hold for believers today?
The prophecy teaches that through Christ, we now have direct access to God without animal rituals. The blog highlights Jesus’ own warning in Matthew 24:15: if a new “abomination of desolation” appears (interpreted as a rebuilt temple with sacrifices), believers should flee and refuse any false Messiah. The lesson is to trust Christ as our only Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5) and not return to obsolete rituals. Daniel 9:27 thus calls Christians to remain faithful to Jesus, watching for signs of false worship in the future. -
Wasn’t this prophecy already fulfilled in ancient times? Does it really matter now?
While the blog teaches that Jesus fulfilled Daniel 9:27 in AD 30–33, it insists the prophecy is still relevant. Jesus himself told readers to understand this warning (Matthew 24:15). The post also notes that most Bible versions mistranslate the verse by saying “the prince who shall come” (implying a future Antichrist) instead of clearly naming the Messiah. The implication is that Christians should pay attention to Daniel 9:27 today. It remains a meaningful warning about rejecting false substitutes for Christ, rather than a closed, irrelevant event
