Daniel Chapter 12 Vs. 11

 The Time of the End

Daniel 12:11 "And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days."




And from the... The angel said that 1,290 days will be measured off from the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished by the antichrist (cf. Dan. 9:27, “he will put an end to sacrifice”).

and the abomination... And the abomination that causes desolation is set up (cf. Dan. 9:27, “one who causes desolation will place abominations on a wing of the temple”).

there shall be... The last half of the 70th “seven” of years is “a time, times, and half a time” (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 12:14), which is three and one-half years. It is also designated as 42 months (Rev. 11:2) or 1,260 days (Rev. 11:3).

This reference is to the end of daily temple sacrifice, previously allowed under a covenant which the Antichrist formed with Israel, which he later causes to cease in the middle of the final 7 years. Then, favorable relations give way to persecution.

Even his abomination that desecrates the temple (as in 9:27; Matt. 24:1; Mark 13:14; and 2 Thess. 2:3-4) is accomplished with persecution.



The angel said that 1,290 days will be measured off from the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished (cf. Dan. 9:27, “he will put an end to sacrifice”) and the abomination that causes desolation is set up (cf. Dan. 9:27, “one who causes desolation will place abominations on a wing of the temple”). The last half of the 70th “seven” of years is “a time, times, and half a time” (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 12:14), which is three and one-half years. It is also designated as 42 months (Rev. 11:2) or 1,260 days (Rev. 11:3). How then can the variance of 30 days (1,290 compared with 1,260) be explained? Some suggest that the 30 days will extend beyond the end of the Tribulation, allowing for the judgment of Israel and the judgment of the nations. Another possibility is that the 1,290 days will begin 30 days before the middle of the 70th “seven” of years when the world ruler will set up “the abomination that causes desolation” (Mat. 24:15). The 1,290 days could begin with an announcement (about the abomination) made 30 days before the abomination is introduced. This abomination, as stated earlier, will be an image of himself (Rev. 13:14-15) and will be the symbol of this religious system.
