abomination
.
abominations (Cf) Matthew 24:15 . The expression occurs three times in Daniel. In; Daniel 9:27 ; Daniel 12:11 the reference is to the "Beast," "man of sin"; 2 Thessalonians 2:3 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:4 and is identical with Matthew 24:15 . In Daniel 11:31 the reference is to the act of Antiochus Epiphanes, the prototype of the man of sin, who sacrificed a sow upon the altar, and entered the holy of holies.
Verse Meaning
Now the divine messenger conceded to Daniel"s request and provided a little more information. However, as these things were unclear to Daniel , many of them still are for most interpreters today, including myself. [source][source][source]
The Lord measured the time between the end, presumably the end of the Tribulation, and the time that the Antichrist will terminate Jewish sacrifices and desecrate the temple (cf. Matthew 24:15). It will be1 ,290 days. This Isaiah 30 days longer than the three and one-half years previously mentioned ( Daniel 12:7; cf. Daniel 7:25; Revelation 11:2; Revelation 12:6; Revelation 12:14; Revelation 13:5). Consequently, the extra month must involve time before the three and one-half years, after it, or both.

Perhaps Antichrist will terminate the sacrifices and desecrate the temple30 days before the middle of the seventieth "week." This interpretation, which I prefer, views the explanation in this verse as more specific and the one in Daniel 9:27 as a general description. [1] A similar view is that the Antichrist may announce the termination of sacrifices and the setting up of the abomination30 days before he carries out those acts. [2] Another option is that there will be a30-day period between the time when Antichrist abolishes the regular sacrifice and the time when he sets up the abomination of desolation. A fourth possibility is that the30 days will extend beyond the last three and one-half years. [3] It will include the cleansing of the temple and possibly the judgments of Israel and the nations that Christ will execute when He returns ( Ezekiel 20:34-38; Matthew 25:31-46).

Context Summary
Daniel 12:1-13 - Resurrection And Judgment
Michael was the guardian spirit of the Jewish people. When the time of trouble has reached its climax, whether in national or individual life, help is near.
The hope of resurrection, of the life beyond the darkness of their times, animated the hearts of the Chosen People. In the same way the Apostle Paul refers to it, 1 Corinthians 15:58. The national resurrection of Israel is without doubt included but the resurrection at the last, when that of the just shall precede that of the unjust by the millennium, is clearly the topic of these wonderful words. Daniel's prophecies were to be sealed, because their entire fulfillment was not to take place for many days. Three and a half probably stands for three and a half prophetic years, which, on the year-day system, gives 1260 days or years, and is therefore equivalent to the forty-two months of Revelation 11:2; Revelation 13:5. This is the time of the world-power, half the perfect number seven. The supremacy of the Gentile kingdoms is 2,500 years, of which the latter half has nearly expired, and the Chosen People will not much longer be scattered. It is an interesting fact that, calculated on the lunar measure, these concluding dates have-according to the calculations of the late Dr. Grattan Guinness-just expired. Let us go our way, watch and pray, and at last stand in our lot. [source]
