The abomination of desolation is mentioned by our Savior, (Matthew 24:15) as a sign of the approaching destruction of Jerusalem, with reference to (Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11)
The prophecy referred to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and consequently the ‘abomination’ must describe some occurrence connected with that event.
It appears most probable that the profanities of the Zealots constituted the abomination, which was the sign of the impending ruin; but most people refer it to the standards or banners of the Roman army. They were an abomination because there were idolatrous images upon them.
