He was given power over the daily worship because of rebellion, and he literally trampled the truth into the dirt. Everything he tried worked out for him.

Seventy weeks have been set aside for your people and your holy city to wrap up all the rebellion, put an end to sin once and for all, make things right after all the wrongdoing, bring in righteousness that lasts forever, fulfill every vision and prophecy, and consecrate the most holy place.

But even their kids rebelled against me too. They didn't follow my rules or keep my commands — the same ones that would have given them life if they'd just listened. They completely disrespected my sabbaths. So I said, 'That's it — I'm about to unleash my anger on them right here in the wilderness.'
