Taking Away The Daily

Day 1 of Daniel’s Final Timeline

This study walks step-by-step through Daniel 11, revealing how its detailed prophecy connects directly back to Daniel 8 and forward to Matthew 24 and Revelation.

A central theme emerges clearly: The end will come at the appointed time (moed).

Daniel 11 describes a final sequence involving:

A deceptive ruler (the “vile person” / little horn)
Conflict between the King of the North and King of the South
A restored temple in Jerusalem
The removal of the daily (sacrificial system)
The placing of the abomination of desolation

Yeshua later confirms this same sequence in Matthew 24, pointing directly back to Daniel and emphasizing that the abomination standing in the holy place is the key sign marking the final crisis.

This teaching also addresses a major misunderstanding: The issue is not “replacement theology,” but who truly belongs to Israel.

Scripture consistently shows:

God did not break His covenant
People broke their side of the covenant
The covenant now belongs to those who are “Jews inwardly” (Romans 2)

Thus, God’s people are one body, grafted into Israel through Yeshua—not two separate groups.

Prophetic Insights

  • “The Appointed Time” Governs the End: Daniel 11 repeats a critical phrase: “The end will still be at the appointed time.” This connects directly to Daniel 8 (2300 evenings and mornings) and God’s prophetic calendar (moedim)
    Human attempts at peace will not delay God’s timeline.
  • The Abomination Requires a Literal Holy Place: Yeshua said, “When you see the abomination… standing in the holy place…” This implies a real location, in Judea, connected to a sanctuary/temple. The context of Daniel 11 confirms this. A real sanctuary is defiled, the daily is removed, the abomination is established.
  • A Future Temple and Brief Restoration of Sacrifices: The study highlights a controversial but important point — many within Judaism seek to rebuild the temple. Some Christians expect this as well, and some even believe that Yeshua cannot come back without them. When this temple is built, sacrifices will resume. But here is what most are missing: God’s sacrificial system was already fulfilled and ended in Yeshua. Its restoration would not be God-ordained. Instead, it is part of satan’s end-time deception.
  • The Little Horn Power Takes Control in Jerusalem: Daniel 11 shows a power that enters the Glorious Land (Jerusalem), takes control through intrigue, stops the daily, and sets up the abomination. This aligns with Daniel 7 (the little horn), Daniel 8 (removal of the daily), Revelation 17 (global system / harlot power)
  • Global Conflict: North vs South. At the end, we see that the King of the South attacks, and the King of the North responds like a whirlwind. This may represent large geopolitical blocs (global north vs global south) who stage a final global conflict centered around Jerusalem.
  • Persecution Refines God’s People: Daniel 11 describes betrayal, infiltration, and persecution. But there is also a faithful group who understand and instruct many, and experience a refining process that purifies God’s people.
  • The Final Outcome: The System Falls. Revelation confirms that the power that rises globally is ultimately destroyed by the very kings that supported it. God allows this to fulfill His purpose.
