What does the Bible say about the Messiah being cut off?

In Daniel 9:26, it is prophesied that 'the Messiah shall be cut off, but not for himself.' This passage underscores the sacrificial nature of Christ's mission, indicating that He would endure suffering and death on behalf of His people, for their sins. This echoes the fulfillment seen in Isaiah 53, where it is revealed that He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities. The significance of this sacrificial atonement lies in the fulfillment of divine justice, which was necessary for the reconciliation of sinners to God, as Christ bore the iniquity of us all.
