this verse when tied to Daniel's prophesy gives credence to the idea of a future abomination of desolation.2 Thessalonians 2:4
Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
In fact these two verses are the reason that cause many to not want the temple to be built again before the millinium. Here is where we get the idea that sacrifices will be done again in the last days.Matthew 24:15
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand![]()
The sacificing practices have to be in place to be taken away.Daniel 8:11
Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.
I have heard the understanding of it being the Roman's work at removing the temple of Jerusalem back in 70 Ad as the fulfillment of that verse, but then 2000 years have gone by and the end of transgression has not yet occurred, nor do we have any history of this covenant spoke of...Daniel 8:12

fascinating subject of study, trying to understand this vision that Daniel was toldDaniel 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.
Daniel 12:9
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Personally I have no active attachment to the rebuilding movement of the temple in Jerusalem because....
Hebrews 7:27
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
