"And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain; and the people that shall
deny Him shall not be His. And a people with their leader that shall come,
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be waste,
and after the war, the appointed desolation."
Daniel 9:26-27
The book of Daniel was written over 500 years before the birth of Christ.
Christ was slain.
About 38 years after His death, 'a people with their leader'
did come. It was three Roman legions, led by Vespasian and Titus,
and they did destroy Jerusalem, and with it the Jewish temple.
The destruction of Jerusalem was also predicted by Jesus Christ in
Matthew 24:1-22, and Luke 19:41-44 and 21:20-24
