There is one other,
Daniel 12:9-13 KJV
9) And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10) Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11) And 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.
12) Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13) But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
It will be set up 1335 days prior to Daniel's resurrection.
Much love!
Yes, I usually connect that with Dan 11, because ch. 12 follows with a summation of the book, ending with a recap of what was said in the last part of Dan 11. I see Dan 12 as summarizing the book in two major prophecies in Daniel's future. The following has to do with the end of the age, and the reign of Antichrist, which had been covered in ch. 7:
Dan 12.6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”
7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.”
And the following is an event closer to Daniel's time, the reign of Antiochus 4:
Dan 12.11 “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days."
It may seem weird to some to think that Daniel would juxtapose two separate events in a single summary of the book. But both events were critical, since Antiochus 4 would be a major event in the life of Israel, and the time of Antichrist would prove to be the end of Israel's time of waiting.
That's why I didn't mention ch. 12, because I have to go into an extensive explanation. I've studied it all. The 1290 days relate to Antiochus' reign. The 1260 days, mentioned in Revelation, have to do with Antichrist's reign. These are two different figures, with slightly different lengths of time for their reigns.
