Daniel 12:11

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

The added term sacrifice has no place in the wording, having been inserted by human wisdom, so the text is to be read as speaking of the daily. It is the prophecy of the abomination of desolation. In its application to Jerusalem, that abomination was the idolatrous standards of the Roman army set up on holy ground outside the city. The appearance of those standards was the signal for Christ's followers to flee at once, with no delay to gather possessions or clothing.

The correct view of the daily was given to those who proclaimed the judgment-hour message, upon which nearly all were united before 1844. Since 1844 other views of the daily have been embraced, and darkness and confusion have followed. Prophetic time has not been a test since 1844 and will never again be a test. The verse belongs to a warning that God's people need to understand before the time of the end.
