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.

Now, if you get a prayer card, you keep it yourself. Don't take it off and give it to a neighbor. Let the neighbor come and hear the instructions too, if they're going to be prayed for.

Eight not here? Don't get one and then leave the building. Stay with it, stay here. All right. 8, 9? 9? Someone with prayer card... All righ...

Now, next Sunday, if the Lord is willing, I want to present, if He will help me, to show just exactly where each one of those seven days, where they took place, bringing this same thing that I did today; and place those seven times ... seven weeks ... seventy of weeks right in the place of that Jewish sanctuary, and show just exactly where we're living here at the end, the Lord willing.

All this now that we see will help us by his grace as we endeavor to approach these last seven seals. See where we'd have missed it? From Revelation 6:1, to Revelation 19:21, we would've missed it because, see, we'd have been trying to apply it back there in this Gentile age, where you see it's over in this age, see. Now, we have proved it by the Word of God, and by the history, and by everything, and by the signs of the times, by the days, that there's nothing else left. We're at the consummation of the Gentiles....

In this seventieth year of Daniel---seventieth week, rather, coming to make an end of sin, put it away. You understand now? What's the first? To finish the transgression, to make an end of sin. Number three: To make reconciliations for iniquity---you who's writing it down... (And I had about six other scriptures there, but I'll just pass over it. Because it's hot, we don't want to take too much time. I want to get as much of it as I can, but not hold you too long.) All right,
