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.

And, oh, watch these three prophets ... or, these two prophets, when they raise up here. And in the middle of the week they're cut off like that, and then starts the battle of Armageddon.

Now, if we go back into Daniel again, and we'll find out, that in Daniel we find out here, the twenty-fourth verse... All right. "To finish the transgression." To finish what? To finish Israel's transgression. What is a transgress? It's to go against something. A transgress against me is to do a wrong to me. Transgress against you is do a wrong to you. So Israel did a wrong to God. And in this seventieth week, what's going to happen? God is going to finish the transgression of Israel. Finish the transgression will...

Now, I want you to notice. As soon as the king saw this vision and he made it, he forced every person in his kingdom in his domain to worship this image. He made an image.

And he called it Belteshazzar. He called Daniel, Belteshazzar, which was the name of his god. And he made an image and forced every person to worship that image. I want...
