“At this point we are confronted with a question which very seriously affects the interpretation of the prophecy. Taking the words according to their apparent and obvious meaning (which should always be done except where there is a compelling reason to the contrary) it would seem quite clear that ‘the prince,’ whose people were to destroy the city and the sanctuary, was Titus, the son of the then emperor Vespasian, he (Titus) being the ‘prince’ or ‘leader’ who was in actual command of those armies at the time.” (Page 40)
“The perfect accuracy of Scripture is seen in this, that while it was definitely stated that the six things of Daniel 9:24 were to be accomplished within the determined period of seventy weeks, and while the destruction of the re-built city and temple was also predicted, that event is not among the things which were to happen within the seventy weeks.” (Page 42)
“Turning to Isaiah, Chapters 44 and 45, we find there God’s promise that Jerusalem should be rebuilt and its captives restored to their home, and ‘lot only so but we find that God mentioned by name the very man, ‘Cyrus,’ by whom that promise was to be accomplished. The proof that King Cyrus was the one who should give the commandment (or word), for the restoring and rebuilding of Jerusalem, is doubly forceful and impressive, and designedly so as the Scripture itself declares, because it was spoken by the mouth of the Lord two hundred years before Cyrus came to the throne.” (Page 13)
“‘To confirm’ the new covenant Jer. 31:31–34; Heb. 8:6–13, and 10:1–18), that is, to make it sure, was the great purpose for which the Son of God came into the world in the body of flesh prepared for Him (Heb. 10:5). Moreover, it was by His death as a sacrifice for sin that lie displaced and abolished the sacrifices of the law, thus causing them ‘to cease.’ God had had ‘no pleasure’ in these because they ‘could never take away sins,’ whereas ‘it pleased the Lord to bruise Him, ‘making ‘His soul an offering for sin’ (Isa. 53:10).” (Page 43)
