There is another version where the image in that passage is the false throne that Satan sets up in Jerusalem during the 4 days the two witnesses are in the grave. The day they are resurrected is the last day of the 42 months Satan and the Beast are given.
Da:11:31:
And arms shall stand on his part,
and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength,
and shall take away the daily sacrifice,
and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
