in reference to the coming  Antichrist:  "Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not  come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is  revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all  that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the  temple of God, showing himself that he is God” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)  Also, Antiochus Epiphanes had a bride named Laodice IV. Laodicea is  named after Laodice. This church will be married to the antichrist.  

“And from the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished  and the abomination of desolation is set up, *there will be* 1,290  days.”

Antiochus Epiphanies was type of the Antichrist that is yet to come.

Many in biblical academia have debated the legitimacy of Daniel writing the book of Daniel for many years.

Why?

Because the events in Daniel predicted future events with accuracy and so they say that makes it impossible for Daniel to have foretold this hundreds of years before they happened. Jesus called Daniel a Prophet. That should have ended all debate.

Now, the first Abomination of desolation in Daniel 11, was fulfilled in 167–168 BC with Antiochus Epiphanies IV. But he was also a picture of the future Antichrist that Paul and Jesus spoke about. Jesus referenced this as future, at the end of times. This antichrist type called himself, "Theos Antiochus Theos Epiphanos"; loosely translated means: I am god most gloriously manifest. He set himself up to be worshiped, killed 80,000 Jews, and helenized some of the priests - where we get the Sadducees (Caiaphas was a Sadducee). But Jesus was speaking of the end times.

The Apostle Paul paraphrased Daniel

Daniel

We know Jesus referenced this as the event before his return in glory. The 1,290 days is 3 and 1/2 years. We know that in the book of Revelation we see that again. This shows up after the two witnesses are killed by the Beast (Antichrist) and their bodies are left exposed in Jerusalem for the whole world to see. The world celebrates and sends gifts to one another. But then God breathes life into them and they ascend up into the clouds with Jesus. Then the whole world trembles in fear. At that point the scripture tells us that there will be another 3 1/2 years to the end of the tribulation.

This abomination in Daniel 12 clearly shows us this same future event we looked at in Revelation. I believe when the Beast, the false Messiah, the son of perdition, kills the two witnesses, he will set himself up in the newly erected 3rd Temple, to be worshiped. That marks the mid-way point in the seven year tribulation period.
