Here I will show you the line upon line flow description from the Book of Daniel about the coming false one which Lord Jesus pointed to in His Olivet discourse. In Matthew 24 and Mark 13, Jesus warned about the placing of the "abomination of desolation". Daniel 11 DEFINES what that is, and I'm going to show those interested...
Dan 11:21-39
21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
After the raiser of taxes has ended, this "vile person" will stand up in his estate. He will come to power using peace and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. This is pointing to his becoming king in Jerusalem.
22 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.
Do you recall that Daniel 9:26 said the end will be with a flood? The idea about waters as a flood out of the serpent's mouth is also used in Revelation 12:15-16, which is about Satan's final deception for the end of this present world, i.e., great tribulation timing.
This "prince of the covenant" will be the one he makes the following "league" with...
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
This "small people" also represents those in Jerusalem he will make that "league" with, a small group in power in Jerusalem that will ally with him. That "league" is the "covenant" made in Daniel 9:27. These events by this "vile person" defines those events of Daniel 9:27.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
Some try to say this "vile person" prophecy was fulfilled in 165 B.C. by Antiochus Epiphanes. The reality is that Antiochus took Jerusalem by force with an army. But this one here takes the kingdom using peace. This "vile person" has not come yet today. This prophecy is even pointing to how this "vile person" will peacefully be setup as king by leaders in Jerusalem.
25 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.
26 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.
27 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
28 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.
After the stir with the king of the south, this "vile person" shall return to Jerusalem, and his heart will be against the "holy covenant". What covenant? The old covenant. Some think this was already history, but it is actually for the end of this world, as the previous verse hinted at.
In order for the "abomination of desolation" idol prophecy to occur, a standing Jewish temple in Jerusalem must be present with animal sacrifices going on. This is the type of "holy covenant" going on at this point.
29 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
30 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
That "vile person" will have indignation against the "holy covenant", revealing what? It reveals that all along he is against the old covenant worship, but only allows it for a time for political reasons.
Not only does he hate that holy covenant, but so does that false Jew leadership that is working with him.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
There it is, the prophecy given in the Daniel 9:27 verse that the false one would come and make a covenant for "one week" (symbolic for 7 years), and then in the middle of the "one week" will end the daily sacrifices, and instead place an abomination idol inside the temple in false worship instead.
That is the "abomination of desolation" event Lord Jesus warned for the very end of this world in Jerusalem. Jesus told His servants in Judea at that time of the END to flee Judea, and for those in Christ in the countries to not enter into Jerusalem at that time (Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21). Those Signs Jesus gave are the Seals of Revelation 6 for the end of this world.
So make no mistake, the Daniel 9:27 prophecy is hard-linked to the prophecy in Daniel 11 about the "vile person" and the placing of the "abomination that maketh desolate". That is why Daniel 11:31 tells us that event will "... pollute the sanctuary of strength...". The desolation is about 'spiritual' desolation inside the temple with the setting up of an idol abomination, i.e., the "image of the beast" of Rev.13.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
That above is about us during that final "great tribulation". Some of us will be delivered up for Christ to give a Witness.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
That exalting himself above every god is what Apostle Paul was warning about in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4, about the "man of sin". That is the beast king of Revelation 17, the one that will ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into perdition.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Why would "the God of his fathers" be mentioned there about that coming false one? It will because the prophecy in the prophets about Messiah requires that he descend from the tribe of Judah to be king over the Jews. He will be a fake though, those who set him up as king will make that claim of his birthright.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

Antiochus IV in 165 did that very thing in Jerusalem with setting up an altar inside the temple and placing an idol to Zeus in false worship, demanding that all bow to it. For the end of this world, for this event in Daniel 11, it will be the false-Messiah setting up the "image of the beast" for the whole world to worship.
