Let me explain. Verse 27 now jumps back to the beginning of Daniel’s 70th week, which is seven years. The stage is now set for the present war in Israel to be resolved with a seven-year peace treaty, which the anti-Christ will be a part of. If so, this would be about the time that the two witnesses would appear, and would identify, and begin to prophecy against, the anti-Christ on Wednesday morning April 17th Jerusalem time. I would also expect the red heifer sacrifice to then take place.
