Daniel 12:6-11 ESV
6 And someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,[b] “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. 11 And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days
Daniel 8:13-14 ESV
13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, “For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?” 14 And he said to me,[c] “For 2,300 evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.”
There seems to be some parallels in the above texts
1) Two angels on the river banks speak to each other
2) Daily sacrifice is taken away
3) Abomination of Desolation
Could the 1290 days be a part of 2300 evenings and mornings?

There is a clear set of parallels between Daniel 8:13-14 and Daniel 12:6-11, such as the removal of the daily sacrifice and the abomination of desolation. The key question is whether the 1,290 days (Daniel 12) are a subset of the 2,300 evenings and mornings (Daniel 8), or if they refer to completely separate periods.
Scholarly interpretations provide the following insights:
Daniel 8:13-14 refers to “2,300 evenings and mornings.” Many interpreters, especially in historical Jewish and Christian contexts, understand this as 2,300 sacrifices—one each evening and morning—spanning 1,150 days. This aligns with the period from when Antiochus IV Epiphanes stopped sacrifices (167 B.C.) to the restoration and rededication of the Temple (Hanukkah, 164 B.C.).
Daniel 12:11 states “from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.” This number of days does not directly match the 2,300 (or 1,150 if understood as days not sacrifices) and is generally tied by interpreters to the apocalyptic period around the end times, and specifically to “the abomination of desolation” and persecution.
Some commentators suggest that the 1,290 days could be a component or a final stage within the broader period symbolized by the 2,300 evenings and mornings, but most do not directly equate the two timelines. The 2,300 period (in days or by sacrifices) is associated with the desecration and eventual restoration of the sanctuary, while the 1,290 (and related 1,335 in Daniel 12:12) deals with later prophetic events potentially including eschatological fulfillment. Most scholarship considers the 1,290 days referenced in Daniel 12 not to be a part/subset of the 2,300 evenings and mornings from Daniel 8, but rather a separate, though thematically linked, prophetic period. The overlap in motif (sacrifice removal, abomination) connects the passages, but the numbers point to distinct episodes/events, one likely fulfilled historically (Daniel 8: Antiochus) and one oriented toward eschatology (Daniel 12). Some interpreters debate if there is layering or typology connecting the two but generally maintain them as distinct prophecy cycles.

I believe 1Timothy 5 is about reverence 🤷♂️
