>>>Daniel called it the “abomination of desolation” where the antichrist stands in the temple and calls himself God.<<<

>>>Besides not only does the antichrist sign a peace treaty first but then the antichrist puts an end to the sacrifices then sets himself up as God in the Holy Place.<<<

"Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate."

Cynical Bear, you have completely misinterpreted Daniel 9:27 if you think it has anything to do with the abomination of desolation that Jesus spoke of; or of some imaginary antichrist. The abomination of desolation Jesus was speaking of occurred when Antiochus IV took away the daily sacrifice and set the image of Jupiter upon the altar. This is from an 1884 Jamieson, Fausset & Brown commentary on Daniel chapter 12:

"As to this epoch, which probably is prophetically germinant and manifold; the profanation of the temple by Antiochus: (in the month Ijar of the year 145 B. C., till the restoration of the worship by Judas Maccabeus on the twenty-fifth day of the ninth month (Chisleu) of 148 B. C., according to the Seleucid era, 1290 days; forty-five days more elapsed before Antiochus’ death in the month Shebat of 148 B. C., so ending the Jews’ calamities;"

There! The 1290 day and 1335 day mysteries are instantly solved: 1290 days of profanation, and another 45 days until the evil one was dead. That bit about Antiochus IV, by the way, is fairly common knowledge. You can read it about in Josephus, 1st Maccabees, and about a zillion commentaries on Daniel.

Think about it: how could the Jews know what to look for if a similar event had not already been fulfilled and was a part of their history? Daniel 9:27 certainly doesn't tell you much.

Your complete disregard for pertinent scripture and injection of you own meaning in others is simply stunning.
