Daniel 9:27

And he, the hostile prince, shall confirm the covenant with many for one week, so that the great mass of people would be forced to accept this covenant, to acknowledge him as being in the place of God; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, so that there would be a serious interference with the true worship of God, and for the over-spreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, literally, "on wings of abominations he comes destroying," namely, with his idolatrous customs, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate, literally, "until the perfected and fully determined" extirpation and judicial punishment, "shall be poured out upon the desolator," God Himself bringing destruction upon him. The prophecy thus sets forth the vicissitudes of the Church of God, which would be relieved by the coming of the promised Messiah. But even after His coming the congregation of saints would be in fact a Church Militant, the great Roman Antichrist making the first attack upon the Lord's forces and being supported in the last days of the world by other antichristian elements following his leadership, until the Lord will definitely and finally bring destruction upon him and them at the time of the Great Judgment.
