Quotation2
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
Daniel 12:11 dates 'the abomination that makes desolate set up' to the countdown of the end (1,290 days), tying the phrase to the eschatological timetable Mark is expounding. The recurrence of the exact phrase across Daniel 9, 11, and 12 underwrites Mark's explicit appeal to 'Daniel the prophet.'
High confidenceDaniel 12:11 dates 'the abomination that makes desolate' set up after the daily sacrifice is taken away; together with 9:27 and 11:31 this is the named Danielic prophecy Jesus invokes for the desecration standing in the holy place.

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The 'abomination that makes desolate' set up in the temple grounds Paul's image of the lawless one seating himself in God's temple. Daniel's desolating abomination is the prototype of the temple usurpation.
