I was thinking of Luke where Jesus said when they saw the armies they were to flee. Happily one account covers details the other didn’t. The audiences were different. Matthew was written to Jewish Christians who would immediately understand the symbolic reference to the abomination of desolation From Daniel. Luke was written primarily to the former gentiles among the faithful. Nonsense -- Luke's account took place in 70 AD, but Matthew's is future history.

And the basis for calling the comments “nonsense” would be what? Would you care to explain?

Nonsense -- Luke's account took place in 70 AD, but Matthew's is future history. Nonsense. It's the same narrative from two different writers for two different audiences, one Jewish (Mathew) and one gentile (Luke). That parallels are unmistakable.
Only your futurist preconceptions are keeping you from seeing something so obvious.
