And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. ~ Daniel 9:27
And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. ~ Daniel 11:31
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. ~ Daniel 12:11
Let's see...
For the verses in Daniel 11 & 12:
'
the abomination' (singular) that
[ itself ] "maketh desolate"
For the verse in Daniel 9:
"because of the 'proliferation and extent' of abominations" (plural) - 'he' ( Christ [
or, a person - and not the abomination itself ] ) - shall make [it] desolate
I do not believe that Daniel 9:27 is
identically the same as the other two. I believe it is more probable that the abomination spoken of in Daniel 11 & 12 is
one of the abomination
s spoken of in Daniel 9. I think Daniel 9 is "looking at a bigger picture" in this regard.
Consider the idea that God had the temple destroyed so the Jews would not "unwittingly" continue to commit abominations in the form of making sacrifices in the [physical] temple after Christ's resurrection. Since He was the "one-time sufficient sacrifice" -- and, since God afterward "made His abode" in "a temple not made with hands" - a spiritual temple by the Holy Spirit indwelling believers -- sacrifices made [to God] in the [physical] temple would be abominations in of themselves.
I believe that "shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease" in Daniel 9:27 is speaking of the moment Christ died and the veil was rent:
And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. ~ Mark 15:38
The other two verses, of course, are speaking of that same "abomination of desolation" mentioned in Matthew 24 and Mark 13 -- which I personally believe had to have occurred some time just before 70 A.D.
I believe that the desolation spoken of in Daniel 9:27 does most certainly apply to the events circa 70 A.D.
The phrase "even until the consummation" tells me that there will not be another temple built before the Second Coming of Christ.
