Christ applied the prophecy to the siege of Jerusalem by the pagan enemies of Rome in A.D. 70. This was to be a sign for the Christians to flee Jerusalem.
This is standard Preterism. Does this represent the official position of the RCC? The RCC is Preterist?
Most Protestants see what happened in 70 AD as precursory. I see the image of the beast, Rev. 13, which hasn’t happened yet as Revelation describes it, as the ultimate fulfillment of the abomination of desolation.
The Catholic Church does not have a single, mandated interpretation of the apocalyptic images of Scripture. Some commentators do take a mostly preterist position, many consider a future fulfilment to be more the point. There's a great deal of variety, with a tendency to, "Yes, this, and that, and that other thing, and maybe some more, and golly, who knows what-all between now and then. More wine, anyone?"
I don't believe Father Hardon, if asked, would have said that the past events exhausted the meaning of the Abomination of Desolation, but rather that those events were known applications of the prophecy, probably with others still to come.
He was a great man. I have his picture on the wall in my schoolroom.
NO! I don’t believe Christ asserted anything of the kind.
Everything Christ predicted except for the Temple being torn down and not one brick left on another . . .
IIRC . . . is virtually entirely, certainly mostly, yet to be fulfilled but looks very much on the brink of fulfillment.
BTW, stock up folks . . .
Some say some very dramatic . . . economic . . . festivities could take place as early as this APRIL.
