Are Matt 24:15 and Luke 21:20 identical passages??? Yes or No --
Similar but not identical and not parallel.
So what is the abomination of desolation: the armies surrounding Jerusalem or something abominable standing in the holy place??? It's one or the other -- choose, but choose wisely.

I don’t have to choose anything, the prophets pretty well spell it out, and I didn’t even have to use a dictionary..

“Similar but not identical and not parallel.”
Amazing. You can’t see (or I should say refuse to see) the obvious, that Matthew and Luke are about the exact same event. And yet when it comes to the phrase “this generation” in both of the chapters, you change the “this generation” in Matthew to mean “that generation” but keep the “this generation” in Luke as is.
