Is the Wing of Abominations in Daniel 9:27 a Demon Powered UFO?

wing of abominations

What is the “wing of abominations” in Daniel 9:27?

A literal rendering of the Hebrew text is, “And on the wing of abominations one who causes desolation [will come].”-Miller, S. R. (1994). Daniel (Vol. 18, pp. 272–273). Nashville: Broadman & Holman Publishers.

“Abominations” usually refers to idols (Dt. 29:16; Jer. 7:30; 16:18; 32:34; Ezek. 5:11; 7:20; 11:21; 20:7, 8, 30; 37:23), hence “wing of idols” doesn’t make sense. How can [plural] idols have just one [singular] wing? Hence interpreters ancient and modern remove the conflict, changing “wing” into “wings” or “abominations” into “abomination”, then interpret the verse.

However, when an explanation does not conform to fact it is no longer “true”. Rather than change God’s Word to fit a preferred interpretation, why not change the assumptions of the Interpreters and see if that “opens up” and “unseals” the words in this time of the End (Dan. 12:9)?

19 What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?
20 Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. (1 Cor. 10:19-20 NKJ)

The plural šiqqûṣîm, ‘abominations’, refers to unspecified deities other than the LORD and their respective cult statues in Deut 29:16; Jer 7:30; 16:18; 32:34; Ezek 5:11; 7:20; 11:21; 20:7, 8, 30; 37:23.-Gruber, M. I. (1999). Abomination. In K. van der Toorn, B. Becking, & P. W. van der Horst (Eds.), Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible (2nd extensively rev. ed., p. 3). Leiden; Boston; Köln; Grand Rapids, MI; Cambridge: Brill; Eerdmans.

A “wing” infested with demons would fit the description of a “wing of abominations”. In Luke 8:30 A “Legion” of demons control a single man.

What did Daniel mean by “wing of abominations”? Recall he is seeing the future End Time when things exist that would “astonish” him” (Dan. 8:27), such as flying vehicles:

But from such passages as Deut. 32:11, Ex. 19:4, and Ps. 18:11, we perceive the sense in which wings are attributed to the שִׁקּוּצִים, the idolatrous objects. In the first of these passages (Deut. 32:11), wings, the wings of an eagle, are attributed to God, because He is the power which raises up Israel, and lifting it up, and carrying it throughout its history, guides it over the earth. In P. 18 wings are attributed to the wind, because the wind is contemplated as the power which carries out the will of God throughout the kingdom of nature. “Thus in this passage wings are attributed to the שִׁקּוּצִים, idol-objects, and to idolatry with its abominations, because that shall be the power which lifts upwards the destroyer and desolater, carries him, and moves with him over the earth to lay waste” (Klief.)-Keil, C. F., & Delitzsch, F. (1996). Commentary on the Old Testament (Vol. 9, pp. 739–740). Peabody, MA: Hendrickson.

Although Keil did change “wing” to “wings”, he ably connects the dots between the demons energizing idols and the “wing of abominations.”

Many reports of UFO/UAP craft comment on the lack of any visible means of propulsion. These reports do not necessarily conflict with Bob Lazar’s testimony of an “antimatter propulsion reactor” powering the ship he worked on. The facts surrounding UAP events imply the existence of both purely demonic entities (which violate all known laws of physics and appear and disappear with ease); and the deployment of physical objects that leave physical evidence and show up on radar etc., These transit into our Matrix through a “trans dimensional portal” (cp. 2 Ki. 2:11) into the TELEIOS (“heavenly places”) Satan and his corporeal angels inhabit (Eph. 6:12; Rev. 12:7-9).

The Desolator (Beast) commands this “flying abomination of desolation” to terrorize the earth desolating all who oppose him.

2 Now the beast which I saw was like a leopard, his feet were like the feet of a bear, and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. The dragon gave him his power, his throne, and great authority.

4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. (Rev. 13:2-13 NKJ)

His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; He shall destroy fearfully, And shall prosper and thrive; He shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people. (Dan. 8:24 NKJ)

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, Even until the consummation, which is determined, Is poured out on the desolate.” (Dan. 9:27 NKJ)

The False Christ (Man of Sin) will reign for seven years. He will promise to respect the world’s religions. But after 3 ½ years “Chancellor” Adonikam morphs into the Son of Satan Antichrist and he will destroy the Great Harlot Babylon world Empire of false religion, demanding all worship him. And on flying wings of fallen angel technology Satan the Destroyer will rain down destruction upon all who oppose his Seed the Son of Destruction Adonikam, This continues for 3 ½ years until Adonikim’s prophesied end at Armageddon, and he is cast in the lake of fire.
.

END NOTES

The False Christ (Man of Sin) will reign for seven years

The prophecy telescopes to the end time “week” because Christ died in the Seventieth Week. AFTER the “seven and sixty two weeks Messiah shall be cut off” (Dan. 9:25-26).

Therefore Dan. 9:26b should begin a new verse:

26 “And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off, but not for Himself;

26b And the people of the prince who is to come Shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, And till the end of the war desolations are determined.

The “Seventy Weeks” end when Christ ushers in the New Covenant in His Blood. Everything listed in Daniel 9:24 is fulfilled. See Seventy Weeks Explained

What happens thereafter is not part of the Seventy weeks. The Destruction of the Temple by Titus in 70 A.D., then in 136 A.D. Hadrian drives the Jews out of Jerusalem to become a pagan city.

Christ’s prophecy covers the time from the end of the Seventy weeks, “the times of the Gentiles” go from 70 AD to the End Time when Christ sets up His Kingdom. The last seven-year period is not part of the Seventy Weeks.

22 “For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 “But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days! For there will be great distress in the land and wrath upon this people.
24 “And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. (Lk. 21:22-24 NKJ)

Daniel 9:27 telescopes to the end time, from the people who destroyed Jerusalem to the rise of the Grecian Roman Empire the Elohim insist be created, that lasts seven years (Rev. 13:1-2). Because Adonikam the False Christ hailed Satan’s arrival as the “kingdom of God” he is made its “Chancellor” and for 3.5 years the “man of sin” conquers the earth with the false gospel of scientific Atheism. After 42 months he reveals he is the “seed of Satan” Son of Destruction (2 Thess. 2:3-4; Rev. 13:5). Harlot Babylon is then destroyed, only the 666 religion permitted. Without the political protection of Babylon the church is persecuted into near extinction.

———-

Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week; But in the middle of the week He shall bring an end to sacrifice (02077 זֶבַח zebach) and offering (04503 מִנְחָה minchah).

“And from the time that the daily (08548 תָּמִיד tamiyd) sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. (Dan. 12:11 NKJ)

There is no contradiction, the “Sacrifice and offering” in Dan. 9:27 refers to any sacrifice and offering (Num 25:2; Isa. 66:3) unlike the “daily” sacrifice of the lamb in the Temple. Therefore, in Daniel 9:27 the Man of Sin breaks his covenant with the world’s religions at mid-week, when he declares himself God. In Daniel 12:11 the “end time clock” begins when Christendom’s “daily sacrifice” to God end, and they worship the false Christ man of sin, at the beginning of the seven-year end time “week”.

Christ is our “continual” [08548 תָּמִיד tamiyd] sacrifice (ἡ θυσία δι παντoς, LXX) . Confirming this, the apostles apply Old Testament Temple imagery to the Church, calling it “the Temple of God” (1 Cor. 3:16-17; 6:19; 2 Cor. 6:16; 2 Thess. 2:4; Eph. 2:21). Its members Temple priests (1 Pet. 2:5).

you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Pet. 2:5) NKJ

As we take up Christ’s cross daily (Lk. 9:23) our sacrifice and service is continual:

Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. (Heb. 13:15) NKJ

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1) NKJ

The End Time “clock” starts when the fallen away Church receives the Antichrist as Christ. The Antichrist breaks his covenant with the world’s religions when he declares himself God and outlaws all other worship than to him.

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 “Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. (Dan. 12:11-12 NKJ)

The “man of sin” false Christ morphs into the “Son of Perdition” (2 Thess. 2:3) at “mid-week” or 1,260 days (42 months, 3 1/2 years) (Dan. 9:27; Rev. 13:5). The beast with two horns like a lamb Britain and America convinced the world to build a global network to manage the earth’s dwindling resources as famine, pestilence, civil unrest and war overwhelmed the earth’s ability to manage the crises. When Russia Turkey and allies nuke the rebuilt city of Babylon, Britain and America rise unite to form two-horned beast under an individual called the “False Prophet” (Rev. 16:13; 19:20; 20:10) and rise to support of the wounded Grecian Empire Beast (Rev. 13:11-2). Formerly Christian free market nations, they now speak like a Devil. For decades Satan seeded their black-operations with fallen-angel technology through the ruse (Roswell etc.) of crashed spaceships, piloted by plant-based drones (Exod. 7:11-12). Their military capability enhanced far above all other military power on earth. That advanced technology causes Russia and allies to cease attacking the Beast’s empire. The Anglo-American false prophet deceives the nations into networking their economies with the Beast, to manage resources against the global depression the destruction of the city of Babylon caused. Then the earth’s economies are commandeered by that very network (Rev. 13:14-17).
End Time events timeline

When Adonikam declares himself God his interface with the AI enhanced network truly affords him godlike abilities such as seeing and hearing in real time everywhere a device is connected. The AI programmed in his image, is an “abomination that causes desolation” able to kill anyone who tries to disconnect. It required 30 days to fully set up, or 1,290 days counting from the beginning of the end time week. Blessed are Christians who are still alive after the intense persecution that follows, for at 1, 335 days they will be raptured:

12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
13 Then I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Write:`Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.'” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.”
14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle.
15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”
(Rev. 14:12-15 NKJ)

And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate

and a destroyer comes on a wing (on the wings) of the monster (monsters)-Koehler, L., Baumgartner, W., Richardson, M. E. J., &; Stamm, J. J. (1994–2000). The Hebrew and Aramaic lexicon of the Old Testament (electronic ed., p. 1640). Leiden: E.J. Brill.

“Thus in this passage wings are attributed to the שִׁקּוּצִים, idol-objects, and to idolatry with its abominations, because that shall be the power which lifts upwards the destroyer and desolater, carries him, and moves with him over the earth to lay waste” (Kliefoth, T.). -Keil, C. F., & Delitzsch, F. (2002). Commentary on the Old Testament [1866 first edition]. (Da 9:27). Peabody, MA: Hendrickson.

Demons supply the Satanic “working” (1753 ἐνέργεια energeia), abominations energizing idols (2 Thess. 2:9; 1 Cor. 10:19-20; 1 Ki. 11:5; 2 Ki. 23:24; Ez. 20:7-8; Dt. 32:17; Lev. 17:7). No doubt multiple demons are in each fallen angel craft, “abominations”.

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. (Dan. 11:38-39 KJV)

And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (Rev. 13:4 KJV)

The Desolator is the Abomination of Desolation

spirit temptation

The Abomination of Desolation:

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, [1] spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not[2], (let him that readeth understand,) [3] then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: (Mar 13:14 KJV)

Our translations obscure the difference in Greek, Jesus’ words match the Septuagint in Daniel 12:11, but not Daniel 11:31:

BYZ Mark 13:14 τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως
BYZ Matthew 24:15 τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως

LXT Daniel 11:31 βδέλυγμα ἐρημώσεως
LXT Daniel 12:11 τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως

BHT Daniel 11:31 haššiqqûc müšômëm
BHT Daniel 12:11 šiqqûc šömëm

Jesus prayer “Let him that readeth understand” is to open the reader’s understanding that “the abomination of desolation” in Dan. 12:11 not be confused with an “abomination of desolation” in Daniel 11:31.

In context the abomination of desolation in Daniel 11:31 is an image that has dual fulfillment in both Antiochus and Antichrist, but in Daniel 12:11 the Antichrist himself is the Abomination of Desolation.

Part. שׁוֹמֵם the desolator (i.e. Antiochus Epiphanes [?]), Dan. 9:27. הַפֶּשַׁע שׁוֹמֵם (for פֶּשַׁע הַשּׁ׳), ibid. Dan. 8:13, the sin of the desolator, and שִׁקּוּץ שֹׁמֵם abomination of the desolator, Dan. 12:11.-Gesenius’ Hebrew And Chaldee Lexicon To The Old Testament Scriptures (p. 835). Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software.

And from the time when the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination of the destroyer set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. (Dan. 12:11 NOY)

The Desolator appears in the church as the “man of sin” “false Christ” (2 Thess. 2:3-4; Dan. 9:27) which starts the end time clock. The Church’s Daily Sacrifice of praise to God ends when it receives the False Christ as Christ (Dan. 12:11). At “mid-week” or 3.5 years, 1,260 days, the “man of sin” morphs into the “son of destruction” (2 Thess. 2:3-4) and he ends all global sacrifice not to him, which leaves him 42 months until Armageddon (Dan. 9:27; 12:7; Rev. 13:5; 19:20). It requires 30 days to fully set up the abomination of desolation made in his “image”, an AI interfaced with the Antichrist; then “network-image” is given life (Rev. 13:15) and the 666 membership only global economy is fully set up, at 1,290 days (Dan. 12:11).

Fallen Angel technology is fully evident in the abomination that the False Prophet (Britain-America) put into the Beast’s service. Since Roswell Satan has seeded fallen angel technology into the black ops programs of the Anglo-American Beast through the ruse of crashed UFO ships that were piloted by plant based drones of Satan’s creation (comp. Ex. 7:11-12)

In Hebrew Dan 11:31 refers to a detestable idol (haššiqqûc müšômëm) causing desolation (Jer. 44:22), the second refers to “the abominable Desolator” (šiqqûc šömëm) in a state of desolation (Dan. 9:27) and who leads all who follow him into complete desolation. Because Desolator Adonikam “sets up” an image of himself it too is an abomination of desolation (Dan. 12:11).

This unity of Antichrist with his image explains the wording that implies both a person and a thing (Compare “Kings…Kingdoms” Dan. 7:17, 23; “Mountains…Kings” Rev. 17:9-10):

Even though the word βδέλυγμα ‘abomination’ is a neuter noun that would normally be referred to as ‘it’, the following participle ἑστηκότα ‘having stood’ is masculine, suggesting that the abomination refers to a person [EBC]. Some take the following third person active verb δεῖ ‘should’ as also being masculine: ‘where he should not be’ [AB1, AB2, BECNT, BNTC, NCBC, NICNT, NIGTC NTC, WBC; ESV, NLT, REB, TEV]. Others refer to the neuter gender of the noun ‘abomination: ‘where it should not be’ [BNTC, Lns; CEV, GW, KJV, NASB, NCV, NET, NIV, NRSV].-Blight, R. C. (2014). An Exegetical Summary of Mark 9–16 (p. 224). Dallas, TX: SIL International.

All who accept the Mark of the image of the Beast (the AI network controlling the global economy Rev. 13:14-17) will be desolated by God (Rev. 14:9-11), and in the end the Desolator himself desolated at Armageddon (Dan. 9:27; Rev. 19:20).[2]

The betrayer Judas is called “the son of destruction” (ὁ υἱὸς τῆς ἀπωλείας Jn. 17:12) as is the “Man of Sin” False Christ (2Th. 2:3) betraying Christianity adopting the “scientific atheism” of the fallen angels who appear on earth claiming to be extraterrestrials (Rev. 12:7-9).

“Son of” is Hebrew idiom for someone who embodies the characteristics of a class to which they belong. However, in this case I believe “Son of Destruction” implies Adonikam is truely a child of Satan, a human-Elohim hybrid with Satan’s DNA, literally of “Satan’s seed” Gen. 3:15. As the “woman’s seed” is literally Christ, the “seed” warring against him Antichrist.

The Anglo-American two horned beast (formerly Christian liberty loving free market economies) now support the tyranny of the Beast and centrally planned markets. Their black operations with fallen angel technology enable the Beast rain fire down upon his enemies from a “flying wing” powered by abominable Satanic energy (Dan. 8:10-11, 23-24; 11:36-39. Rev. 13:11-17):

And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator (šömëm).” (Dan. 9:27 ESV)

“on the wings of abomination he comes desolating.” עַל כָּנָף can, without ingenuity, be rendered in no other way than on wings. שִׁקּוּצִים signifies not acts of abomination, but objects of abomination… But from such passages as Deut. 32:11, Ex. 19:4, and Ps. 18:11, we perceive the sense in which wings are attributed to the שִׁקּוּצִים, the idolatrous objects. In the first of these passages (Deut. 32:11), wings, the wings of an eagle, are attributed to God, because He is the power which raises up Israel, and lifting it up, and carrying it throughout its history, guides it over the earth. In P. 18 wings are attributed to the wind, because the wind is contemplated as the power which carries out the will of God throughout the kingdom of nature. “Thus in this passage wings are attributed to the שִׁקּוּצִים, idol-objects, and to idolatry with its abominations, because that shall be the power which lifts upwards the destroyer and desolater, carries him, and moves with him over the earth to lay waste” (Klief[othm T.]) -Keil, C. F., & Delitzsch, F. (2002). Commentary on the Old Testament [1866 first edition]. (Da 9:27). Peabody, MA: Hendrickson.

Gesenius’ Hebrew And Chaldee Lexicon To The Old Testament Scriptures (p. 835). Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software.

The “Desolate One” aka the “Son of Destruction” is the Judas False Christ “man of sin”. At 1,260 days (Dan. 9:27; 12:7. 2Th. 2:3-4. Rev. 13:5). Chancellor Adonikam begins ruling as Emperor of the Babylonian Roman Beast (Rev. 13:1-2) boasting he is the “Seed of Satan” (Gen. 3:15) “Son of Destruction” Antichrist (Rev. 13:5 6. Dan. 7:8, 25; 9:27; 11:36-39).

Just as God permitted the magicians deceive Pharaoh he could resist God (Exod. 7:11-13) so God stops restraining spiritism (2Th. 2:7-12) and it inwardly induces the strong delusion God and His angels can be defeated (Rev. 16:13-14, 16). Just as spiritism caused Pharaoh to harden his own heart, so those who dwell on the earth will believe they can defeat God at Armageddon. The temporary sacrifice of a few angels cements that delusion:

It grew so big it reached the army of heaven, and it brought about the fall of some of the army and some of the stars to the ground, where it trampled them. (Dan. 8:10 NET)

So detestable the person or place is desolate of God’s presence and results in desolation by God (Ezek. 8:5-6, 17-18).

[2]
standing where it ought not, the church being the Temple of God in the New Testament
Jesus predicted the Temple would be destroyed and never hinting that state of desolation would be reversed in the end time (Mk. 13:1-4. Mt. 24:1-3). Pharisee Paul (Acts 23:6) would call the literal temple the dwelling (naos) of God, the apostle Paul never does so (1 Cor. 3:16-17; 6:19; 2 Cor. 6:16; Eph. 2:21).
In the New Testament Christians are Temple priests (1 Pet. 2:5). We offer up “the Daily Sacrifice”::

you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Pet. 2:5) NKJ

We do this taking up Christ’s cross daily (Lk. 9:23) therefore our sacrifice and service are continual:

Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. (Heb. 13:15) NKJ

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1) NKJ

The “Man of Sin” morphs stands up as the Beast “son of Destruction” at 1,260 days. Thirty days later the AI network the world built in his image to manage their economies is “set up”:

“And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up (05414 נָתַן nathan), there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. (Dan. 12:11 NKJ)

And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. (Rev. 13:14 NKJ)

Jesus inserted the parenthetical (“let him that readeth [Daniel] understand”). Readers in the End Time are to critically consider why Daniel himself didn’t understand his own prophecy. The most likely reason is words gained new meaning he was unaware of.

Daniel knew all about “holy” (06944 קֹדֶשׁ qodesh) “people” (05971 עַם `am), the “Daily” (08548 תָּמִיד tamiyd), the “abomination” (08251 שִׁקּוּץ shiqquwts) of “Desolation” (08074 שָׁמֵם shamem) are things he fully understood. Yet Daniel says: ” Although I heard, I did not understand” (Dan. 12:8):

7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”
9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

This has great ramifications. If these words are still sealed, interpretation of Daniel, Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, 2 Thessalonians 2, Revelation 11-13 are also sealed.

Christianity introduced things unknown to Daniel that gave temple imagery a NT Church application, and I treat that in the next paragraph. But its likely the astonishment Daniel experienced wasn’t just because these words no longer referred to familiar objects. His words imply the totality of the vision was completely strange. He went to others begging, and none understood:

And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days; afterward I arose and went about the king’s business. I was astonished by the vision, but no one understood it. (Dan. 8:27 NKJ)

I believe he saw Adonikam, Dragon and False prophet, and the “ships” of the “Elohim Designers” persecuting the Christian Church and it left him speechless. The words are sealed until end time events make their meaning plain. Antiochus is not in Daniel, our LORD never said the Temple would be rebuilt after its total destruction. The eisegis of many has obscured the meaning of the sealed words.. The “little horn” is the Antichrist, and from Daniel 11:21 on what He does is detailed precisely. This will become so easily seen by the end time generation it will be a major “apologetic argument” against the strong delusion of the Designers, their lie YHWH is an ET like themselves. It will be obvious to all God’s children, only infinite God could predict in such precise detail centuries ago, what the Antichrist is doing in the End Time. Daniel 7-12 will read like current events.

The words in his prophecy have a different application. The church was now the Temple of God, believers in Christ its priests. The Daily Sacrifice their taking up the cross of Christ Daily. Therefore, the abomination of desolation Daniel saw rising up in the church, was unlike what he saw Antiochus erect (Dan. 11:31) in the Temple. Christ is viewing events from the 1st century to the end time, and therefore cautions readers in the future understand the new reality brought about by the New Covenant.

As Christ fulfilled the law the “continual” [08548 תָּמִיד tamiyd] sacrifice (ἡ θυσία δι παντoς, LXX) is now a function of Christ’s ministry. Confirming this, the apostles apply Old Testament Temple imagery to the Church, calling it “the Temple of God” (1 Cor. 3:16-17; 6:19; 2 Cor. 6:16; 2 Thess. 2:4; Eph. 2:21). Its members Temple priests (1 Pet. 2:5). We offer up “the Daily Sacrifice”::

you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (1 Pet. 2:5) NKJ

As we take up Christ’s cross daily (Lk. 9:23) our sacrifice and service are continual:

Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. (Heb. 13:15) NKJ

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. (Rom. 12:1) NKJ

We have the “interpretive keys” (the New Covenant) to understand Daniel’s Prophecy, that he did not. Events unsealed the words just as the angel said.
