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.

So when he began to read in the book and see that the time was drawing nigh to be fulfilled, he went to God in prayer to find out about it. What a time! What are we doing, when nations are breaking, the sea a-roaring, men's hearts failing for fear, perplexed of time? All these things: the handwriting on the wall, racial disintegration, all kinds of evil going on in the world, and fusses and fights and stews, and weapons hanging in the hangars. That one little nation by the size of Cuba down here can destroy the wor...

QUESTION: When was the covenant of Daniel 9:27 confirmed for a week? One-half of it was confirmed, the covenant, when Jesus Christ was on earth preaching to the Jews. He never went to the Gentiles at all. And He told His disciples, "Don't go to the Gentiles." That was to Jews alone. And He preached for three and a half years---that's half of the seventieth week, now, as Daniel said He would do. Now remember, He was firmly vindicated to the Jews, but their eyes were blinded to bring in this space of the Gentiles. Ca...

Now, the close is the fact that God deals with Israel only when she's in her homeland. Let's take... When God ... Abraham left the homeland and went down into Egypt, what happened? He walked away from the will of God and never was blessed till he returned back to the homeland. God never dealt with him---not one vision, not nothing else---till he come back to the homeland. Look at Israel when they were sent down in Egypt. Four hundred years---not one miracle, not one sign, not one thing happened among them, not reco...

Good morning, friends. It's very hot to be in the Tabernacle this morning, but very glorious to be here. So glad that we could get in today for this service. And I've given out that I'd have a study now on this seventy weeks of Daniel. That ties in the rest of the message before I can go with the seven seals. Which, there's seven seals, seven plagues, seven trumpets, three woes, the woman in the sun, casting out of the red devil, the 144,000 sealed away---all happens between this time. And I thought I'd have to get...

Do you see where we are now? Do you understand Daniel's seventieth week now? See now, when we go on into these seals and things, breaking these seals, the first one comes forth a white horse rider, he's got a bow in his hand. Watch who that guy is. Watch that pale horse ride after him. See? Watch who it is and look how he come in. Watch those 144,000 come in. Watch that sleeping virgin when she comes up. Then watch all these things take place, the pouring out of the vials, the woes, the three unclean spirits like f...
