Who did Daniel say would destroy the sanctuary?

Daniel said the people that shall come, which was Rome, would destroy the sanctuary. Out of that people, the Roman Empire, would come the world ruler at the end. This links the sanctuary's destruction to the Roman people, from whom the end-time ruler arises.

Les teaches that Daniel's prophecy says the people that shall come, which was Rome, would destroy the sanctuary. Out of that same people, the Roman Empire, would come the man who would be the world ruler at the end. Les connects this to the revived Roman Empire he sees in Europe and to the covenant with many—Israel—for seven years. He also notes that many prophetic preachers wrongly identified a recent peace treaty as Daniel's covenant, but he disagrees because that treaty was no real peace treaty, and no peace treaty has been signed yet.
