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.

When God made the earth and set it in orbit (when I was preaching the other night, Sunday night, how that there's nothing fails), why, this world turns so perfect till they can tell you exactly when the sun and moon will pass in twenty years from today to the exact minute. I can't tell you by any timepiece we got in the world. It'll lose two or three minutes a month, or gain two or three minutes---the best we got. We can't make nothing that perfect, because there's only one thing perfect---that's God! And God and H...
