So if all prophecy is already fulfilled then why Daniel 12:4?

//Daniel 12:4//

WHEN WAS DANIEL 12 FULFILLED?

The answer is extraordinarily clear in Scripture. The text spells it out:

“When the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things will be finished.” (Daniel 12:7)

“And from the time that the burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up.” (Daniel 12:11)

This happened in history. The power of the holy people was shattered and the burnt offering ceased forever when the temple was destroyed in AD 70. That marked the end of biblical Judaism as foretold throughout the Old Testament beginning with Deuteronomy 28-32.

At that time the court sat in judgment (Daniel 7:10) and God took vengeance on Old Covenant Israel for her sins as warned by Jesus (Matthew 23:29-24:2; Luke 21:20-24) and as warned by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:7-12). God would take the blessings of the kingdom from the Jews and give them to another group, obviously the church (Matthew 21:18-19; 43-45; 22:7).

In AD 70 God used the Roman army as the instrument of his wrath, just as He used the Assyrian army against the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC, and just as He used the Babylonian army to judge Judah and Jerusalem in 586 BC.

Jesus affirmed the abomination of desolation of Daniel (Daniel 12:11 and Matthew 24:15) was about the destruction of the temple (Matthew 24:2)―and it would happen in his generation (Matthew 10:23; 16:27-28; 24:34).

The “time of the end” (Daniel 12:4, 6, 9, 13) is not about the end of history. Daniel’s prophecy is about the end of the Old Covenant dispensation in AD 70. At that time, the temple sacrifices for sin ceased, the priesthood was abolished forever, over a million Jews were killed, and any genealogical records in the temple were destroyed. Jesus became the focus of our faith, no longer the temple (John 2:19-21; Revelation 21:22).
