Step still to come (one reading among others)

Sacrificial worship operating before its removal (hypothesis)

The altar of burnt offering of the temple of Jerusalem, as imagined by Jan van Jagen (1770s). Worship restored before its removal remains an inference, not an announcement.

In short

The announcement. The prophet Daniel, in the book of Daniel, announces that the “continual burnt offering” will cease and that an abomination will be set up. He does not himself announce the return of these sacrifices: it is a deduction, because for a sacrifice to cease, it has to be taking place.

What happened. This has not happened yet. If this reading is right, this worship would have to resume before the abomination that makes it cease, and no building project is currently under way or authorized on the Temple esplanade.

What is still debated. if the “temple” Paul speaks of is understood figuratively, this idea of a return of the sacrifices loses its object, and the debate is not settled.

Main objection (in French for now)

Un Temple achevé n’est pas requis : Esd 3:1-6 atteste qu’un autel peut être rétabli avant l’achèvement du Temple. Ce précédent nuance la difficulté du temple non reconstruit, sans la lever.

The text (World English Bible)

“Forces from him will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress, and will take away the continual burnt offering. Then they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.

Dan 11:31

“From the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days.

Dan 12:11
