Context — The End Times
9“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
10Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.
11And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.
12Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days. 13But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and then you will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”Cross References

Daniel 12:11 Summary
This verse is talking about a time when the daily sacrifices in the temple will be stopped and something very evil will be set up in its place, as prophesied in Daniel 9:27. This will be a sign that a very important and difficult time is coming, as mentioned in Matthew 24:15. The verse mentions a specific number of days, 1,290, which will pass before something else happens, as also mentioned in Daniel 12:12. This is a reminder to believers to be ready and faithful, as encouraged in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 and 2 Peter 3:14, and to trust in God's plan, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28.

What is the abomination of desolation mentioned in this verse?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 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.
Trapp's Commentary on Daniel 12:11
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.Ver. 11. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away,] sc., By Antiochus, as hath been before said; and with the knowledge whereof I would have thee to rest satisfied. There shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.] Which are the three years and a half mentioned before, saith Diodate, with thirteen days over, for some unknown reason. The wonderful numberer hath all in numerato. The Russians use to say in a difficult question, God, and our great duke, know all this. The Jews in like case say, Messiah, when he comes, will tell us all things we desire to be informed of.
Ellicott's Commentary on Daniel 12:11
(11) From the time.—It appears as if at this verse the prophecy recurs to the more immediate future, and that these words point to the same subject as Daniel 11:31. The language used respecting the “abomination” is almost verbally the same as that in Daniel 8:3; Daniel 8:11; Daniel 9:27, and prevents us from arriving at any other conclusion. The great and apparently insoluble difficulty is the relation which the 1,290 or the 1,335 days occupy with regard to the 2,300 days, or the time, times, and the dividing of a time. Assuming that these four periods all commence at the same epoch (see Note on Daniel 8:14), the death of Antiochus closes the 1,290 days, and the 1,335 days point to some event which occurred forty-five days, or a month and a half, later. The principal objection to this view is that the exact date of the death of Antiochus is uncertain, and therefore all calculations based upon the precise day of his death must be untrustworthy. It is obvious that neither of the two periods mentioned in this and the following verse can be made to agree with three years and a half without setting the rules of arithmetic at defiance. Also the obscurity which rests over the greater portion of the history of Israel should guard us against assuming that we can explain all the contents of the last three chapters by means of what occurred in those times, and also against assuming our historical facts from Daniel, and then making use of them to illustrate his prophecies.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Daniel 12:11
Verse 11. From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away] See the notes on Daniel 11:25-27. The abomination that maketh desolate set up] I believe, with Bp. Newton, that this is a proverbial phrase; and may be applied to any thing substituted in the place of, or set up in opposition to, the ordinances of God, his worship, his truth, c. Adrian's temple, built in the place of God's temple at Jerusalem, the church of St. Sophia turned into a Mohammedan mosque, c., &c., may be termed abominations that make desolate. Perhaps Mohammedanism may be the abomination which sprang up A.D. 612. If we reckon one thousand two hundred and ninety years, Daniel 12:11, from that time, it will bring us down to A.D. 1902, when we might presume from this calculation, that the religion of the FALSE PROPHET will cease to prevail in the world which from the present year, 1825, is distant only seventy-seven years.
