Christ used the word in the sense that Daniel used it in, that is why He makes a reference to him.

I can agree with that, it's just that I do not agree Chipper understands what that "sense" is.

Saying that I agree with the sense is not the same as saying the two things are intended to identity the identical event or thing.

The sense in which Christ used the words is as I described it with the "Potemkin village" analogy.

The first century Jewish Christians certainly understood "the sense" since they did indeed flee to the mountains when the saw the abomination unfolding before their eyes.

No, they did not.

Christians fled when the armies withdrew for a time since Titus had to go back to Rome.

Jews themselves, entered into the city and were not allowed to leave by the Zealots.

And the Holy Place refers to the Temple, where the sacrifices get stopped for a 3.5 year period as the Anti-Christ sits in it (2Thess.2).
