Dan 9:27 in other bibles like the ESV tend to depict the AoD as being at the same time as the Stopping of the DS, but there are 1,290 between them and the Covenant is made in one week but the confirming of the covenant made in another.
I cannot see how you cannot see that there are 1,290 days between the Abomination of Desolation and the stopping of the Daily Sacrifice.
The covenant allows the temple to be built... it ( the temple being built) therefore must take place before the inner-sanctum can be polluted.
Yes, the beast does both, just not at the same time. Now if you considered that the Beast confirms the covenant at the time of the Abomination of Deslation, I will agree. Howevcer to confirm it... it (the covenant) must first be made... and that takes place 1,290 days earlier. 30 days before that same covenant allows the corrnerstone to be set.
This seems to be an ESV problem.. and reason I continue to use the KJV. I had spent many hours and days fighting this scripture, undertsanding there must be 1,290 between these two events. The reference of the beast being revealed is not a time increment here as the two witnesses reveal this lawless person. The bible doesn not really come out point blank and tell that he two witnesses reveal the beast... however... God showed that fact to me. and its ok if you are skepticle.
I am trying to understand your view point Vet. Have yyou taken a look at the calendar I posted? Can you draft one simlar in style that depicts your understanding?
Dan 12:11 tells of th 1,290 days and refers to the Daily Sacrifice and the Abomination of Desolation... if as you contend they take place at the same time... Is the begining of the 1,290 days when the A of D takes places and ends with what? or what starts the 1,290 days and endis with the A of D?
If I remember correctly from the start of the Daily Sacrifice to the cleansing of the temple is 2300 days...6.4 years Personally I expect the cleaning to take place after the A of D and right after the beast....now Satan... is rejected by the Jews. For when the Jews reject this beast they will know their sauctuary was polluted by him. And one can be pretty sure that after the 2 witnesses ascend to heaven and a tenth of the city is destroyed... the Jews will say to them selves... rut roh. dang. or do they say Oy? Now the two witnesses beegin their campaign either right before Tribulation begins or just after. I expect this to be just after... as the Beast is not strong enough to kill them, it will take Satan. However, if Satan takes the body of the Beast at the time of the mortal wound which is before Tribulation begins and has the "cerimony" for the beautification of that body in the inner-sanctum at the A of D.... then the two witnesses could begin before Tribulations begins and be killed befor the A of D...but I don;t think so, because it shows little continuity. See if that happened the Jews would reject the Beast before he is allowed in the inner-sanctum. Because the two witnesses reveal the beast... and they ascend to heaven in front of the Jews.. the Jews will know the 2 witnesses were right.
Maybe it's the 2300 days of Dan.8:14 that's confusing.
The subject of the Dan.12 chapter is about the tribulation events unto the end. That's the perspective Daniel is being given there with the question of Dan.12:6-8, the end of these wonders, and end of these things. So we must... keep that perspective that Daniel is given there and also has when interpreting that Dan.12:11 period to the end. That means the Dan.12:11 verse is about the LATTER half of the "one week" (or one seven). The event that latter period begins with is the end of sacrifices and setting up the abomination.
Then we can count back to discover the 2300 days of Dan.8:14, which its finish is about what event? The cleansing of the sanctuary. Here's another verse about that cleansing of the sanctuary for the finish...
Dan 9:24
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness,
and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
(KJV)
The 70 weeks prophecy is finished when it's time for that "... to anoint the most Holy". That's about the cleansing of the sanctuary, but it is
AFTER the 70 weeks is finished. The 70 weeks are completed, and then... comes the time to begin the cleansing. So that means what for the latter half of the final "one week"? The latter half of 1260 days MUST be finished for that time of cleansing to begin.
Thusly, from THAT finish point of the end of that latter 1260 days period, count backwards 2300 days (2300 - latter half 1260 = 1040 days). That leaves 220 days back to the start of the 1st half of the "one week". It's like this...
Start of the "one week" (7 years)
220 days - "league" of 7 years made
-----------
Start of the 1040 days
-----------
(1st 1260 days period completed)
---------- = MID POINT OF THE "ONE WEEK"
"league" broken - End of sacrifice and abomination setup
1260 days to the finish - great tribulation
-----------------
Cleansing of the sanctuary
There's some event that will occur within the first 220 days of the first 1260 day half of the "one week". Since the 2300 days was given back in Dan.8:14 within the subject of the he-goat and ram prophecy, it may involve that pattern for the little horn/vile person (false messiah) coming to power by flatteries. Once the "league" of Dan.9:27- 11:23 is established to start the first 1260 day period, after 220 days is when some event will take place, and we probably won't know what it is until it happens.
Then after the 220 days, the rest (1040 days) of the first half 1260 days will continue to the mid point of the "one week".
At the mid point, the false one will end sacrifices, and then setup the abomination idol for false worship. It's when the idol is setup that the tribulation upon God's people will begin, the time, times, and an half period when the dragon is given power to try and force us to worship him and his image. That is the latter 1260 days half of the "one week". It's when God's two witnesses will appear in Jerusalem and prophesy for that 1260 days period.
At the ending of that latter 1260 days period, God's two witnesses are killed in Jerusalem, their dead bodies left laying the street for 3.5 days.
Then after 3.5 days the two witnesses are resurrected. And then in the "same hour" (Rev.11), the events of Christ's return begin. That will end the latter 1260 days half of the "one week", and seal up the vision of the 70 weeks.
Then will come the time for the cleansing of the sanctuary once Christ has returned. That's the 1290 days. Then 45 days after that to 1335 days, those in Christ who remained faithful are blessed.
