Daniel 10 - "Abomination of Desolation"

Daniel chapter 10 is part of the vision of chapters 10 - 12 and is one vision. Daniel receives a more in depth vision of both the Medo-Persion Empire the and Grecian Empire leading into the full manifestation of the Antichrist through the Roman Empire.  This detailed history gives us a great revelation of how the antichrist will rise.  The historical fulfillment of the abomination of desolation happened under Antiochus Epiphanes.  But Jesus totally brought it into the end-time timeline in Matthew 24:15 Then Jesus said, "Therefore when you see the 'abomination of desolation' spoken by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."  This refers to the beginning of great tribulation the Jews the last 3 1/2 years. Jesus clearly ties in this event to the tribulation period and marks the middle of the tribulation.  This answer given by Jesus was in response to the disciples asking when the end of the age would occur. 

The antichrist will come to power peacefully.  This picture is found in the four horsemen of the apocalypse of Revelation chapter 6.  The first horse is white and the rider has a bow without arrows.  He will conquer peacefully through a peace agreement with Israel.  Perhaps even helping with the building of the 3rd temple on the temple mount.  But following the white horse will be the red horse of war, followed by the black horse of death and the pale horse of pestilence.  The antichrist breaks this covenant with Israel in the middle of the tribulation or at the time of "abomination of desolation".  This will start the period of two great events on earth.  Great persecution of Israel and new testament Christian believers and great victory and overcoming power of the saints. Jesus told Daniel in the final vision that when this strike occurs from the antichrist, "But the people that know their God will be strong and carry out great exploits."  Daniel 11:32  Also God will have a remnant that will "will understand and shall instruct many.." (v 33)  So in the middle of the great power of the antichrist will be an even greater power of the saints.  In fact Daniel 7 has one of the most awesome statements in the entire bible. Daniel 7:26-27 "But the court shall be seated, and they (the saints) shall take away his (the antichrist) dominion, to consume and destroy it forever.  Then the kingdom and dominion and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High."  Yes, in the end the saints shall, through the power of the Holy Spirit, totally overcome Satan and through their dominion establish Jesus Christ kingdom on earth!
