Oh my -- another new definition for the "abomination". So now the "holy place" [Mt 24:15] is the hills and valleys outside of Jerusalem, not Jerusalem or the temple??? and the Roman armies are "the abomination" and not Cesar Nero???
Don't you just love that preterist "exegesis" or whatever they call it???
At least we do exegesis. We don't run from it like a scared rabbit.
It does have the markings of desperation.
Say anything to hide what the verse is referring to in Daniel.
Nor did the disciples who fled when they saw the abomination of desolation (Jerusalem surrounded by armies).

INDEED. The Rubber Bible twangs yet again in a DIFFERENT off-key.

Replacementarian ‘exegesis’

= Replacementarian expanding rubber stretching just to accommodate yet another far-fetched prickly absurdity pretending to be Biblical.

Has it occurred to you that Jesus was not speaking to you when He said “when YOU see the abomination of desolation”? I know that in this “it’s all about me” world it’s easy to forget that Christ wasn’t addressing us.
But the fact is you weren’t there. But the ones whom Christ was speaking to understood the signs and as a result were able to escape the Romans.
One thing we know positively is that the abomination of desolation was from the Romany army. How do we know? BECAUSE LUKE 21 EXPLAINS MATTHEW. And we know from Josephus and other historic accounts that the Roman army set up their idol in the Temple before they destroyed it completely.
