Daniel chapter 9:26
The sanctuary in that verse is the temple.
In Daniel they were already in exile to Babylon. In Ezra and Nehemiah they had to rebuild the temple. Ezra 1:3. Daniel chapter 9's vision was during the first year of the reign of Dairius the Mede. This was much later in the Babylonian Exile.
Ezra 1 happened in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia. So this was during the Persian empire not the Babylonian empire that the temple was rebuilt, and Daniel 9's vision was during the Persian rule also. I don't know the exact scripture reference, but surely it had to be rebuilt during the Persian empire reighn. So that would have to mean it would have been destroyed and re-built after the writing of the wall. The temple was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70. Jesus also predicted the destruction of the temple, and mentioned the writings of Daniel when he was explaining it.
The Babylonians destroyed the first temple according to Jeremiah 52:12-14. The Persians took over later, and re-built the temple (the second temple) which was destroyed in AD 70.
I agree with Harmono's selection of Dan 9:26 as a prophecy of the destruction of the second temple.  You can follow the interpretation of Daniel's 69 weeks here: http://www.aboutbibleprophecy.com/weeks.htm

Callandor,
there are many problens in this  "seventy Weeks prophecy", still more with translation from hebreu.
But this is off topic and I will open another thread with this so that we can discuss on it.

WaterStreet, do you think that Daniel has any support for the second temple destruction ?
