How does Daniel 9 connect to the New Covenant?

In Daniel 9, the prophecy speaks of events leading to the coming of Messiah who would be ‘cut off but not for himself’. This refers to the sacrificial death of Christ, which is foundational for the New Covenant established through His blood. The New Covenant is presented as the fulfillment of God's eternal covenant of grace, effectuating true reconciliation between God and His people. This covenant grants believers both forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life, affirming that Christ's sacrifice was necessary to solidify this relationship. Thus, the proclamation of Christ's redemption seen in Daniel's prophecy connects intimately with the doctrine of the New Covenant as expressed in texts such as Luke 22:20, where Jesus references His blood being the blood of the New Covenant.
