Daniel 9 and Matthew 24 are referring to two different things. The scriptures our Lord quoted from Daniel are 8:13; 11:31 and 12:11, which we will explain later.<\/p>\n

Daniel 9 Interpretation<\/strong><\/p>\n

As with any scripture, the context must be considered, and every piece must fit – similar to putting together a puzzle. Daniel 9:23-27 is a prophecy about the Messiah<\/strong>, his death and the changes to come upon the Jewish nation<\/strong>. Desolation or desolate is mentioned three times. This refers to the desolation Jesus pronounced to the leaders of the nation in Matthew 23:38, “Your house is left unto you desolate<\/strong>.” He prophesied it would come in Luke 21:20, “When you see Jerusalem compassed with armies <\/strong>then know that the desolation thereof is near.”<\/p>\n

This was fulfilled in 69-73 AD<\/strong> when the Roman general Titus destroyed the temple and killed thousands leaving the city desolate. Daniel 9:26, “the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary <\/p>\n

\n
\n
[temple].” <\/p>\n

Desolation came because of their abomination. Abomination<\/strong> is associated with false religious worship<\/strong>. (See Isaiah 66:3; Jeremiah 7:30; Ezekiel 5:11.) Since the Jewish nation did not accept Christ and they continued with their animal sacrifices it was an abomination<\/strong> to the Lord. “Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes” (Romans 10:4) Even Jews recognize the destruction of the temple as a severe rebuke from God.<\/p>\n

Daniel 8 Interpretation of Matthew 24:15<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “abomination of desolation<\/strong>” is similar in that it is false religious worship<\/strong>. Many symbolic details about the abomination of desolation are given in Daniel 8:9-14. <\/p>\n

The context is a little horn growing out of a goat. The interpretation is given in verses 21-25. Out of the Greek empire shall grow a powerful prosperous ruler, but it will not develop by its own military power. It will rule by “dark sentences” [Hebrew  – to tie a knot, a puzzle, trick] and shall “cast the truth to the ground<\/strong>” (verse 10, 12). “Craft [deceiving fraud] shall prosper” (verse 25). The saints will suffer under this arrangement, “both the sanctuary and the host [are] to be trodden under foot” (verse 13). This little horn “magnifies himself” (verse 25).<\/p>\n

As the ram and goat<\/strong> in Chapter 8 represent governments<\/strong> so the “little horn” and “king” represent governing powers <\/strong>or systems – not an individual<\/strong>. The little horn developed out of the Greek and later Roman empires.<\/p>\n

The most horrible error of the “abomination” is taking away the “daily [continual, perpetual] sacrifice<\/strong>.” The Catholic church set up the Mass<\/strong> as the focus of worship. This is the Abomination. That system used fraud and dark sentences to misrepresent and substitute its understanding for the true understanding of the sacrifice of Christ<\/strong>. What other sacrifice is of perpetual benefit to mankind?<\/p>\n
