Dan. 9:26a; “And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off…”
Matthew 27:35; “And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.”

Killed…the Lord hung on a tree for our sins. Just the thought of it pains the heart of every Christian as we pause to reflect on how awful that must’ve been for the One who knew no sin.
My heart hurts as well knowing that Mormons don’t believe this. The Garden of Eden (Yikes, I meant Gethsemane!) is where Mormons believe Jesus paid for Adam’s sin, but not ours. They believe Jesus died on the cross, but not for sins and in so doing, they’ve rejected the altar of God and Jesus altogether. Ask the Mormon if they believe the verse in Daniel has been translated correctly and if not then why.
