What is the interpretation of Daniel's dream of Chapter 9?

Seventy weeks (“Seventy sevens” in the original Hebrew) are determined upon thy people (Jews) and upon thy holy city (Jerusalem)
• to finish the transgression (He is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions – Heb 9:15) and
• to make an end of sins (Behold, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the whole world – John 1:29) and
• to make reconciliation for iniquity (that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people – Heb 2:17) and
• to bring in everlasting righteousness (grace reigned through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord – Rom 5:21) and
• to seal up the vision and prophecy (But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled – Acts 3:18) and
• to anoint the most Holy (by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place – Heb 9:12).
Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince (Christ) shall be seven weeks (seven sevens), and threescore and two weeks (sixty-two sevens): the street (of earthly Jerusalem) shall be built again, and the wall (of earthly Jerusalem), even in troublous times.
And after threescore and two weeks (sixty-two sevens) shall
• Messiah (Christ) be cut off (Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree – Gal 3:13), but not for himself (For He (God) hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us, who knew no sin – 2 Cor 5:21):
• and the people of the prince that shall come (believers of the NT period who belong to the Prince of peace, Jesus) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary (make void the earthly city of Jerusalem and the Jewish Temple in it because the Church will be built as the heavenly City New Jerusalem and the Temple of the Holy Ghost);
• and the end thereof shall be with a flood (of believers flowing into the Church of Philadelphia until AD 1948), and unto the end of the war (between the Dragon and the believing line of Christ) Rev 12:17.
• desolations (of the adversaries of God, Satan inclusive) are determined (purposed and planned by God as per His-story).
• And He (Christ, the Messiah) shall confirm the covenant (ratify a covenant through sacrifice - Gather my saints together unto Me; those that have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice – Ps 50:5)
• with many (old testament and new testament believers) for one week (seven):
• and in the midst (during the middle) of the (seventieth) week (seven)
• He shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (But this man (Jesus), after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God – Heb 10:12), (Thamizh Bible mentions this “He” as Christ)
• and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate (KJV); On the wing of abominations will come one who destroys (Thamizh Bible). Satan will cause abomination; if “And the abomination of desolation will be on a wing of the temple” as per the HCS Bible is considered, it is the Al Aqsa mosque which is situated on a wing (not in the middle, as many assume) of the actual Jewish Temple’s location in Jerusalem –Ellis Scolfield). God will make the agent of abomination and the Jewish temple desolate. (Refer Eze 25:30).
• even until the consummation and that determined shall be poured (Satan will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone – Rev 20:15 at the consummation of God’s His-storical purpose and plan)
• upon the desolate (upon whom the desolation is poured: Satan, the unholy angels, the beast, the false prophet, those who have taken the mark of the beast and the unbelieving sinners – Rev 19:20; Rev 20:10, 14, 15).
