When will the Antichrist cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease during the seven-year week?
At the midpoint of the seven-year week, after three and a half years, the Antichrist causes the sacrifice and oblation to cease. This occurs in the middle of the week, bringing the prophetic timeline to the midpoint of the tribulation, where he is given power to continue for another three and a half years.
Les explains that the seven-year period is what all of Revelation is dealing with, and the Antichrist makes his appearance at the beginning of the seven years. In the middle of the week—at the end of three and a half years—he causes the sacrifice and oblation to cease or stop, and for the overspreading of abominations he makes the temple desolate, even unto the consummation, until the end of the seven years. Everything that prophecy has declared will happen, will happen; the scoffers can say what they want, but the book has declared it and we can rest on it. Les stresses that this verse brings us to the midpoint of the tribulation, where the Antichrist is given power to continue for another three and a half years, 42 months.
