No abomination of desolation stood in the Temple of 70 AD

Only in the dispensational system. Jesus made it clear what the "abomination" really entailed. That is what you are having a hard time dealing with, the words of Scripture. What does Luke 21:20 say? How does it relate to Matthew 24:15? My do you deny the plain import of the words?

[No abomination of desolation stood in the Temple of 70 AD]

Only in the dispensational system. Jesus made it clear what the "abomination" really entailed. That is what you are having a hard time dealing with, the words of Scripture. What does Luke 21:20 say? How does it relate to Matthew 24:15? My do you deny the plain import of the words?

And what part of the word stood in the Temple do you not understand?

It is you that is denying what the scripture plainly is referring to by attempting to twist the clear meaning of words.

That passage is referring to an idol, that has yet to stand in the Temple.

Now as for Luke, it is referring the 70 AD destruction, but Matthew isn't.

Now in Lk.21:20 I see the word 'desolation' but I do not see the phrase 'Abomination of desolation'.

They are two different things.

The Abomination of desolation is something that stands in the Temple and brings on desolation.

That did not happen in 70AD.

Lk.21:20 tells of armies compassing the city, Matthew 24:15 tells of an idol standing in the holy place

They are two different things for two different times.
