Matthew 24:15
When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation. This is the
sign when Christians should flee from Jerusalem. See
Daniel 9:27 11:31 12:11. Luke says, "When ye shall see Jerusalem
compassed with armies" (Luke 21:20). This was, therefore, Christ's
explanation of the abomination of desolation. The Roman army, heathen,
with heathen images and standards, ready to sacrifice to idols on the
temple altar, working the desolation of Jerusalem and the temple, is
what is meant.
In the holy place. Mark says, "Where it ought not" (Mark 13:14);
around "the holy city" (Matthew 4:5).
