You don't agree that the time of Matthew 24:21, which refers to an abomination time yet to happen is the same such as never was type of time mentioned in Daniel 12:1?
Dan 12:1 does not say there will be no worse time in the further future. And don't forget that the time of the Church was not revealed to the OT prophets, so you can't expect Daniel to speak about it.

Mark 13:19/affliction such as was not
So even the affliction Daniel spoke about will be surpassed.

Also, Paul links the time of the man of sin will sit in the temple of God to have a withholder
Daniel does not speak about a man setting Himself into the temple of God. You are mixing things up to get at a system. I doubt that we should construe a system that allows us to see the kairos in which Jesus will return.

There are numerous instances when history more or less is repeated. In the 1960's Yemen, monarchists and republicans fought a civil war, the monarchist in the north eventually won. In 1990, the kingdom of Yemen re-united with the (people's) republic of Yemen (this reunification was even before the reunification of Germany, but also was a consequence of the fall of the Berlin wall and related developments). Some years later there was a civil war between North and South, and the North won (at least for some years, there is yet another civil war in Yemen by now).

Things being similar does not automatically mean they are the same. This hold for prophecy, and generally for "everything". You have to give more that some similar wordings to prove it is the same, especially when you overlook differences as those between Dan 11:36ff and 2Ts 2:4.

How do you think the usurper to the throne died before Antiochus IV ruled the land?
It doesn't matter who it was that killed him.
In my view it does make a difference whether he was killed by the anger of his brother or not.

From the time of the abomination that makes desolate in Daniel 11 all the way to the end of the chapter____-can only be 1290 days.
What about the 1335 day mentioned in the following verse?

Daniel 12 shows that Daniel rises at the end of the days.
Just as Jesus begins to reign on earth after the Roman empire - the OT prophety sometimes skips over the time of the Church.

Paul had preached about the prophecy of Daniel 11.
Daniel 10:21
Daniel 11:36
Paul speaks about a man who declares himself being god. The verses you mention do not speak about that. 10:21 does not even speak about a man, and 11:36 does not speak about declaring oneself as God.

Moses knew of the church. Deuteronomy 32 refers to a people that would make Israel jealous.
Other prophets also told how the Gentiles would hear.
This is typically seen as Gentiles who do a pilgrimage to Jerusalem ...

There are hints to that, but no detailed prophecy. When the disciples met Jesus the last time (just before ascension) they asked whether he would now restore the kingdom of Israel. Given the OT, the question makes sense, this will happen when Jesus returns, but we now know this will occur only 2 millennia (1990 years plus X) after the ascension.

Jesus Christ told the disciples about the abomination of desolation as in the future, as for those
that would read the prophecy. let him that readeth understand
As I said before, a Biblical passage can have more than one correct meaning (interpretation), so I conclude the abomination prophecy aimed at two instances at once.

And I don't like to be buried in texts, without reference to what I said.
