Confirming a covenant with many in Daniel 9.27

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate Daniel 9:27

The "many" doesn't have to be just Israel, it could be the nations of the middle east, for example.  

It really isn't until we see the AOD that the antichrist or son of perdition is revealed--it's not in the making or confirming a covenant in which he is revealed.

But I would expect there to be something in place for sacrifices before that can happen in Jerusalem.  

I did a study in Daniel about the bringing to an end of sacrifices and the setting up of the AOD, whether by Antiochus or antichrist, and it always speaks of the same kind of thing.  I expect to see something in place so this can happen, even if we don't know when the 70th Week begins or what starts it.

The one who confirms the covenant also brings to an end the sacrifice and offering. 

Daniel 8:11-12 says, "by him the daily is taken away...an army was given over to the little horn to oppose the daily sacrifices...". Even if this only speaks of Antiochus, the taking away of sacrifices is in connection with the temple service in some way.  

I'm just saying this because this is the same kind of thing in Daniel 9:27, and the one who does that in that verse is the same who confirms the covenant.  

I find it difficult to see Jesus in view there, as the one who makes the covenant, because it is Daniel 9:27 that Jesus references when he speaks of the AOD standing in the holy place, quoting the Septuagint.  Preterists and a few futurists see Jesus as the "Prince to come" and the one who confirms a covenant with many.  

Looking for the fulfillment in prophecy about the abomination of desolation (AOD) from the perspective that the Jewish Temple and sacrifices have no relevance after the crucifixion of Christ and the change of people for God's purposes (from the nation of Israel to the Gentile-Jew Assembly) is understandable.  Likewise, it's difficult to understand the need for sacrifices during the Millennium as revealed in Ezekiel 40-48--which is why some will say that vision was an ideal never to be realized.

But don't  even some (or most) Preterists see a more literal fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy of the AOD in the temple in the events of AD70, some 40 years after the crucifixion and the establishment of a new people (the Gentile-Jew Assembly)? It's just that Futurists believe that prophesied event is yet future and not in the past, and that Temple which was destroyed in AD 70 will be rebuilt to some degree for this event to happen.

I think it should be considered that the Animal sacrifices dealt with sin on a temporal, theocratic level for Israel.  They were not to be offered up just anywhere.
Justification was by faith in God and the coming Redeemer, for "Abraham believed God and it was accounted to him for righteousness." 

The destruction of the temple and Jerusalem was Divine judgment on the nation because of her rejection of Messiah--because they "did not know the time of your visitation."
The destruction of the temple removed that place of God's special presence from among that people for his purpose.

The temple and the sacrifices are not of any necessity to us believing Gentles and Jews because they only had a purpose or function in the theocracy of national Israel.   If Ezekiel 40-48 isn't written off as some ideal that could have been fulfilled after the Babylonians captivity but will never be realized, then the temple and sacrifices could have a temporal type of role with dealing with sin with reference to the functioning of the theocracy of national Israel.  This role doesn't and never did provide justification of the sinner before God, only for their continuation in the land as a special people for God's purpose.

Isn't it an argument of the Preterist that the AOD can't involve a future temple and sacrifices because of the work of the cross?

But doesn't even the Preterist believes the Abomination of Desolation was fulfilled in the Temple in the events of AD70, about 40 years after the Cross of Christ and the beginning of the new people, the Gentile-Jew Assembly?

Why can't the futurist believe in the same kind of thing, but over 1900 years later?
