Is Daniel 9:27 and Daniel 12:11 Referring to the Same Event?
1) Direct Answer
No. Daniel 9:27 speaks of Messiah confirming the covenant and, in the midst of the week, making sacrifice and offering cease by His own once‑for‑all offering. Daniel 12:11 points to a later, end‑time desecration when the daily sacrifice is forcibly taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, marked by 1,290 days.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- Daniel 9:27: “He shall confirm the covenant with many for one week… in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.” This is Messiah’s work. By His death the veil was torn (Matthew 27:51), and the Bible says His one offering perfected forever them that are sanctified (Hebrews 10:10–14). That legally and spiritually ended the sacrificial system.
- Daniel 12:11: “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.” Jesus placed that abomination in the end‑time setting (Matthew 24:15), and Paul shows a man of sin sitting in the temple of God (2 Thessalonians 2:3–4). This aligns with the tribulation span of 42 months/1,260 days (Revelation 11:2–3; 13:5), with Daniel adding the 1,290 and 1,335 day markers for that closing season.
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- In Daniel 9:27, the sacrifice ceases because Christ fulfilled it. That is covenant confirmation by Messiah, not an Antichrist covenant.
- In Daniel 12:11, the sacrifice is removed by a profaning power and the abomination is set up, initiating a counted period of days at the time of the end.
- You see, one is the cross ending sacrifice by fulfillment; the other is the end‑time desolator halting it by desecration during the last half‑week as God turns back to Israel. This would imply the successful restoration of jewish temple worship before this event.
4) Reinforcing Statement
Now notice, if 9:27 were an Antichrist covenant, Hebrews would not declare that Christ Himself caused sacrifice to cease. The Bible is clear: 9:27 is Messiah’s covenant; 12:11 is the abomination in the end. They are connected in the prophetic program, but they are not the same event.

Revelation 6:1 to Revelation 19:21 is connected with the seventy of weeks, therefore we must stop and explain before we go further. We must stop and explain why these seventy of weeks, because if you don't you'll miss those seals, you'll miss those trumpets, you'll miss those vials, those plagues, those three unclean spirits like frogs, those three woes, the casting out of the red dragon, the woman in the sun. You'll miss it all if you don't, because it takes place right here in this seventieth week. That's where i...

Now, my church here knows that all through the years I've always told you, "If you want to know what day of the week it is, look at the calendar. But if you want to know the time we're living in, watch those Jews." That's the only timepiece. God allotted no certain times for the Gentiles. There was no certain space of time. And that's why I think that many great writers mixed it up, was trying to apply this to the Jew and Gentile, because He said, "Thy people." But He was talking to Daniel, not to the church---Dani...
