The 1290 days
This is mentioned and referred to 6 times in the bible
They all say essentially the same thing.
1) Armies surround Jerusalem
2) Sacrifices (the daily) is halted
3) An Idol is set up on the alter of sacrifice.
This is the visual signal for the Church to flee.
Here are the passages in Daniel
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to
cease, and on a corner of the altar desolating abominations, even until the end. And that which was decreed shall be poured on the
desolator
The language is Dan 9:27 is rather confusing, but this incident is clarified in the other two passages
Dan 11:31 And forces will stand from him, and they will profane the sanctuary, the fortress, and shall remove the daily sacrifice, and they
shall place the desolating abomination
Armies come in....they halt sacrifice...they place abomination in place. Note this "thing" requires placing.
An "abomination" is a Hebrew synonym for AN IDOL. This idol will be placed upon the alter of sacrifice, desecrating it.
Dan 12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the desolating abomination set up, a thousand two hundred and
ninety days shall occur.
This verse pinpoints the time, again, it says the same thing, daily is halted (daily is Hebrew term for daily sacrifice). Abomination is set in
place..
This is the START OF THE 1290 day countdown.
The following two verse also point out something extremely significant.
Dan 12:12 Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
Dan 12:13 But you go on to the end, for you shall rest and stand in your lot at the end of the days.
BOTH the 1335 days and the 1290 days END at the same time....that is...these days overlap....the 1335 begins...then 45 days later the 1290 day
countdown begins, BOTH ending at the first resurrection / return of Christ.
The phrase "you shall rest"(John 11:12-14) is commonly understood to simply mean death. Daniel would "rest" or sleep in the grave, after which he
will be "stand" or be resurrected at the return of Christ (note, this also shows when what is commonly called the "rapture" will occur).
We know what happens at the 1290 mark, but what happens 45 days before at the 1335 mark? We can deduce from the NT passages regarding the abomination
of desolation, that the Church GATHERS AT JUDEA at the 1335 mark. Because she is command to flee at THIS SIGN...the setting up of the Abomination of
Desolation!.
Armies surround Jerusalem..
Luk 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Luk 21:21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in
the countries enter thereinto.
Note the armies surrounding Jerusalem signal that the DESOLATION IS NEAR....this is NOT the sign to flee....it is the sign that the setting up of the
desolation (which is the sign to flee) is to occur SOON.
Idol is set up (stands in holy place)
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth,
let him understand
Mat 24:16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains
At this sign the Church FLEES into "her place" .
This abomination is an "it", it is a thing not a reference to a person, it is a thing, and it is stood and set up where it ought not
Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that
readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
The NT verses SAY THE EXACT SAME THING as the Daniel verses.
1) Armies come in, surround Jerusalem..
2) Idol is set up
..this starts the 1290 countdown
