He did indeed. The LXX has different wording indicating that sacrifices were lifted up. I wonder if that is referring to the same thing Jesus spoke concerning his death
And he shall strengthen a covenant with many one period of sevens. And in the half of the period of seven shall be lifted up (αἴρω) sacrifice and libation offering. And upon the temple will be an abomination of desolations. And until the completion of time, completion shall be given unto the desolation. Daniel 9:27
G142 αἴρω airo (ai'-rō) v.
1. to lift up.
2. (by implication) to take up or away.
Now is judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world shall be cast outside; and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all to myself. John 12:31-32
I think you are at the point of desperately flailing in eschatological waters far too deep and beyond your comprehension.
And in the half of the period of seven shall be lifted up (αἴρω) sacrifice and libation offering.
Are you now trying to sell the idea that Jesus was NOT "lifted up" on the cross 14th Nisan 33AD and resurrected 17th Nisan 33AD?
And you are selling some bizarre baseless unbiblical alternative where the crucifixion actually occurred on Tishrei 36 1/2AD (3 years and 6 months afterward)?
Good luck with that heresy!
And FYI, the Book of Revelation was written around:
AD 92–96 by John the Apostle while exiled on Patmos under Domitian.
BTW, this verse speaks to those things HEREAFTER......
after chapters 2 and 3 the Church age.
And this verse also exemplifies the pre-trib RAPTURE "come up here"!
Rev 4:1
After this I looked, and, behold, a door
was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard
was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things
which must be hereafter.
You see, this 3 1/2 years, 42 months 1260 days is noted in Daniel 7, 9 and 12 and of course their FULFILLMENT in Revelation many times.
Here is the
complete, precise list of every place in
Revelation where God marks the
same 3½-year period — the
second half of Daniel’s 70th Week, the reign of the Antichrist, and the Great Tribulation.
The 3½-Year Clock in Revelation
All of these refer to the
same period from different angles.
1. 42 months — the Antichrist’s reign
Revelation 13:5
“The beast was given authority to continue for forty-two months.”
This is:

The Antichrist’s global dictatorship

Begins at the Abomination of Desolation

Ends when Christ returns
2. 1,260 days — Israel protected
Revelation 12:6
“The woman fled into the wilderness… to be nourished there 1,260 days.”
This is:

Israel protected

During Antichrist rule
3. Time, times, and half a time — same period
Revelation 12:14
“She is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time…”
This is:

1 + 2 + ½ = 3½ years

Daniel’s language exactly (Dan 12:7)
4. 42 months — Jerusalem trampled
Revelation 11:2
“The holy city shall they tread under foot forty-two months.”
This is:

Jerusalem under Gentile control

During the Antichrist’s reign
5. 1,260 days — God’s two witnesses
Revelation 11:3
“My two witnesses… shall prophesy 1,260 days.”
They minister:

During the same 3½-year period

Opposing the Beast
The Unified Prophetic Clock
Reference What it measures
Rev 11:2 Jerusalem oppressed
Rev 11:3 Witnesses prophesy
Rev 12:6 Israel protected
Rev 12:14 Same period, Daniel’s terms
Rev 13:5 Antichrist rules
All of them equal:
3½ years
42 months
1,260 days
Why this is devastating to Preterism and Historicism
If Revelation were fulfilled in AD 70:
- Where are the two witnesses?
- Where was a 3½-year Antichrist reign?
- When did Israel flee and get protected?
None of it happened.
The clock has never started yet — because it starts at:
The Abomination of Desolation (Dan 9:27)
