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.

Daniel 9: Gabriel's instructions to Daniel
61-0730M §96
"They will trod down," said Jesus in Matthew 24 (the abomination maketh desolation), " they'll trod down the walls of Jerusalem until the Gentile dispensation be finished." When that's finished, then the Jews will return back into Jerusalem to reestablish the temple and temple worship. We'll get it all in these next messages, the seventy of weeks, of the sixfold purpose. Now, I'll read that before closing, because it'd be just about time then for us to get home, then come back tonight at seven o'clock.

We have thirty days in some months, thirty-one in the next, twenty-eight in some. See, we're all messed up. But God don't have it jig, jog, up-and-down, back-and-forth. He hits it exactly the same. Yes, sir, exactly the same. Thirty days in a month. Not thirty-one, then thirty, something else, see? But that was all done in the great economy of God to keep the church watching and praying, being ready, have their garments washed in the blood of the Lamb. But, oh, in this last days He promised...

Now, you Protestants say, "Well, now that's it." But just a minute. We find out that the Protestants has an organization, makes a confederation of churches, a image to the beast, and go right with them. And we find out here that the Jews are called in on this confederation. Yes, sir! And they agree. And the Bible said they did. And he makes a covenant with them, and in the midst of the seventieth week, he breaks ... the antichrist breaks his covenant with the Jews"thy people." Why? Now, when you read in Revelation...
