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: Daniel's Seventy Weeks
61-0806 §25
Now, Daniel was just ... in two years. Then we find out that while he was in prayer, the angel Gabriel rushed to him and not only explained to him when his people were going out of captivity, but also all that was determined for his people, all that was yet left for his people. He said, "There's seventy of weeks yet left for the Jew." Then we find that he had a sixfold purpose: and one of them was to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, to make reconciliations for iniquity, bring everlasting righteo...

Now, He's talking to the Jews. They want to know: "What about this temple, when will it be destroyed? When will it be rebuilt? When will there come a time that there won't be one stone upon another? How long will it last?" He said, "When you see the abomination that maketh desolation standing..." When Daniel stood in the holy place... Said, "When you see this come to pass, now let him that read understand what he's talking about..." That's the reason we're praying to God to make that so perfect that there'll be not...

Daniel 9: Daniel's Seventy Weeks
61-0806 §23
Now, let's review just a little bit so we can get a base. Now Daniel was concerned about his people, because he had read Jeremiah the prophet, and understood that Jeremiah had said that they would be in captivity for seventy years. And then, he seen then they'd already been in captivity for sixty-eight years. So he knew the time was at hand. So he set aside all of his work, pulled down, as it was, his shades of all his daily tasks, set his face to God, put on sackcloth and ashes, and went to fasting and praying tha...

Daniel took a true stand. You know where I get that in Daniel 12, or Daniel 9, I believe it is. When Daniel took a true stand for the Word. What happened to him? When he was the right-hand man to the king, but he took a true stand for the Word, and was excommunicated and throwed into a lion's den. A man of God standing true to the Word! The Hebrew children stayed true to the Word, under the king's proclamation that "whosoever shall not bow to that image when the psaltery sound and the trumpets blow out, and so fort...
