- Is set up: The Antitype - the final Abomination of Desolation, performed by the evil one we call the Antichrist - is not a destruction; it is an Abomination which "is set up."
- Still in Daniel 9: Upon bringing us "even to the end", Daniel now describes for us the Antitype. The final Abomination of Desolation, of the final Antichrist, is not the
destruction of the sanctuary; instead it is the time when Antichrist "will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering," the primary form of worship for Jews in the Temple.
Jesus said that the End Time Jews will "see the abomination of desolation which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place." (Matt 24:15) "Holy
Place" can only refer to the Temple; but it is God's "sacrifice and grain offering" which are to "stand in the Holy Place" of the Temple. That is where these rituals take place.
So we understand that the Abomination of Desolation wrought by the Antichrist will be his replacement of God's ordained Rites of the Holy Temple, with his own perversions
and his own idols. Because there is currently no Temple in Jerusalem, this of course demands a prior rebuilding of the Temple - the Third Temple - and there is already
(in May, 2024) a very strong Jewish (and Christian) Third Temple movement ongoing.
What we understand about Daniel's 1290 Days:
- Daniel's Prophecy ends when the 1290 Days are completed: "From ... the abomination of desolation ... there will be 1,290 days."
- Daniel's 1290 Days must end after the completion of Israel's two other time spans; Revelation's second 42 Prophetic Months, and Daniel's Time, Times and Half a Time:
- All three of these time spans specifically pertain to Israel;
- Both the second 42 Prophetic Months and Israel's Time, Times and Half a Time, start at the beginning of Israel's Great Tribulation;
- Apollo's rule begins 19 Days after these two time spans have begun, and his Abomination of Desolation occurs some time after that;
- The 1290 Days begins at Apollo's Abomination of Desolation which, again, occurs after the other two time periods are under way; and
- 1290 Days is longer than 42 Prophetic Months (1260 Days), and it is longer than Time, Times and Half a Time (1278 Days).
- The terminal event of Daniel's Prophecy, the event which marks the end of the Prophecy, is the Resurrection of the Righteous.
- The 1290 Days end at the Day of the Resurrection of the Righteous - at THE LAST DAY, well after the two other time spans have completed.
John 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
40 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."
44 "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.
54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
