How will Mashi'ach be cut off after 62 Shavu'im?

1.

Rashi: Agripas Melech Yehudah, who was king at the time of the Churban, will be killed. Here, Mashi'ach is merely an expression of an officer or great person. Malbim ? also the Kohen Gadol was killed. After this, there was no king or Kohen Gadol from Yisrael.

2.

Ibn Ezra (25): Yisrael will not have a king.

2)

Why does it say "v'Ein Lo"?

1.

Rashi: This is like v'Einenu (he is not in existence).

3)

What is the meaning of "veha'Ir veha'Kodesh Yashchis Am Nagid ha'Ba"?

1.

Rashi: Ha'Kodesh is ha'Mikdash. Titus and his masses will come against them.

2.

Ibn Ezra (25): This is Aspasyainus, the general of Melech Romi. He came against Yerushalayim with his son. The fourth Nevu'ah says about them "u'Zero'im Mimenu Ya'amodu v'Chilelu ha'Mikdash ha'Ma'oz v'Hesiru ha'Tamid" (11:31).

3.

Malbim: The nation of Titus (Romiyim) destroyed the Mikdash by themselves, against his will, like it says in Yosifun.

4)

What do we learn from "v'Kitzo va'Shetef"?

1.

Rashi: His end will be curse and destruction. Mashi'ach will inundate his kingship.

2.

Malbim: Amidst this flood [of Romiyim ? refer to 9:26:3:3], the Mikdash will be destroyed until the Ketz.

5)

What is "Necheretzes Shomemus"?

1.

Rashi: Until the time of the war of Gog and Magog, the city will be a ditch of desolation.

2.

Ibn Ezra: He will fight many years against Yerushalayim, until it is destroyed and desolate.

3.

Malbim: Until the time that it was decreed that it be desolate.
