The insertion of a gap of at least two thousand years between the sixty-ninth and the seventieth week is a self-contradictory violation of the dispensationalist’s professed literal hermeneutic. Where is the gap found in the text? Dispensationalists must insert it. The failure to acknowledge the obvious covenantal context of the messianic covenant maker of verse 27, who confirms a covenant with many, leads dispensationalists to confuse Christ with antichrist. A more serious interpretive error is hard to imagine.[9]
