I won't post the entire 70 weeks commentary - only the last portion concerning Jesus and end times:
While there was no break between the "Seven Weeks" and the "Threescore and Two Weeks, " there is a break between the "Sixty-ninth" and "Seventieth Week, " in which several things were to happen.
First we read that "Messiah Was to Be Cut Off, But Not for Himself." This refers to Christ's rejection and crucifixion. He died for others. Then we read that the people of the "Prince That Shall Come' shall destroy the City and the Sanctuary. Note that it does not say that the "Prince" will destroy the City and Sanctuary, but the People of the Prince. The people who destroyed the City of Jerusalem and the Temple in A. D. 70 were the Romans, therefore the "Prince (Antichrist) must be a Roman Citizen. This does not mean that he cannot be a Syrian Jew, for Syria will then be a part of the revived Roman Empire, and Saul of Tarsus was a Roman citizen as well as Jew.
We are then told that the desolation of the land of Palestine shall continue until the "End of the War" (probably Armageddon). As this "desolation" still continues we see that the "GAP" between the "Sixty ninth" and "Seventieth Week" takes in the whole of this PRESENT DISPENSATION.
The next verse (vs. 27) introduces the "Seventieth Week."
"And He (the "Prince"-Antichrist) shall confirm the Covenant with many for ONE WEEK (the Seventieth Week); and in the MIDST (middle) of the Week He (the Antichrist), shall cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease, " etc. For a description of the "Seventieth Week" see the chapter on 'The Tribulation.' "

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68412379 70th week continues until the end of time - the part that has yet to be fulfilled.
This is the the introduction of the 7 year covenant with the antichrist and the breaking of it 3 1/2 years later as stated above:
Daniel 9
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
27
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Summing up who antichrist is we have:
This "person" controls the entire earth!!
who has done this in the past? No one has ever controlled the entire earth.
This person is to be worshiped world wide by Everyone or be killed.
This person doesn't set up an idol (paul knows what an idol is and says "man" not idol)
He sets himself up to be supreme God.
He is cruel, fierce and knows not the god's of his fathers
nor have the desire of woman.
No one can make war with him - he's too powerful.
He comes up as the eleventh horn - after the 10 horns(kings) in some kingdom, and subdues 3 of them.
He has the 10 kings take out the woman on the beast (mystery babylon) Rev. 17:16-18
His origins are of the revived roman empire of end times.
Jesus takes him out at armageddon.
The antichrists kingdom is the last earthly kingdom before Jesus returns.
According to Mathew 24, Daniel and Revelation he rules during the great tribulation.
After "he" stands in the temple he sends an army after the fleeing Jews who are protected by God for 3 1/2 years in the mountains. Failing that, he goes after christians (5th seal Revelation).
Jesus says let no man deceive you in Mathew 24 and Revelation 6.
Paul starts out talking about this "man" saying let no man deceive you.
Paul says he will sit in the temple showing himself to be God.
Paul is an x-pharisee - he most certainly knows what a temple is.
Daniel tells us this person will obtain power by flattery and deceit.
So Jesus, Daniel, Paul agree it is a person who uses deception to gain power.
Daniel and Jesus both tell us it is an abomination of desolation, then Daniel spends some time filling in the description of this abomination and one can only conclude he's not on the scene yet..
