Rev 11:1–2

The sanctuary and host 'trampled underfoot' (LXX katapateo) for a fixed number of days; Rev's 'tread the holy city under foot' echoes this Danielic profanation-of-the-holy-place with a numbered duration. Strong on the trampling verb and the apocalyptic time-limit structure.

High confidence
Luke 21:20-24

Daniel asks how long the vision of the transgression that makes desolate, the sanctuary and host trampled underfoot, will last. Jesus' 'desolation' plus 'Jerusalem trampled by the Gentiles until... fulfilled' fuses this trampling-of-the-sanctuary imagery with a temporal limit. Strong conceptual overlap of trampling and desolation.

Medium confidence
Matt 24:15-22

Daniel 8:13's 'transgression that makes desolate' giving over the sanctuary and host to be trampled is part of the same Danielic abomination complex underlying the desecration of the holy place.
