What daily sacrifice MrG, only the church that Christ founded has been doing this every day for 2000 years, and everything else is also happening or working toward it right now.

Ppm, you need to get the context right. It is "the time of the end" (Dan 12:4) that is being referred to, which commenced in 1914 at Christ's enthronement.
What sacrifice did the angel mean that was abolished?
The apostle Paul wrote: “Through [Christ] let us always offer to God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips which make public declaration to his name.” (Hebrews 13:15) So this first condition of the prophecy ...the removing of “the daily sacrifice”...was brought about in mid-1918 when the preaching work was virtually stopped while Rutherford and other members of the Bible students were imprisoned. ( Charges were later dropped by the prosecution when war hysteria abated).
What, though, about the second condition... the setting up of the "desolating abomination"? This "abomination" was first the League of Nations and reemerged later as the United Nations. Both are disgusting in that they have been heralded as the only hope for peace on earth by the churches of Christendom. Thus, in the hearts of many, these institutions actually take the place of God’s Kingdom!
This lines these events up with our day and underscores the urgency of the time in which we are living.
