"'Therefore when you see the ""abomination of desolation,"" spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place' (whoever reads, let him understand), 'then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.'"

In 70 A.D., forty years after Jesus made this prophecy recorded in Matthew 24:15,16, Jerusalem was completely destroyed by the Romans.  Thus Jesus Himself applied the events connected with the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 A.D. to the fulfillment of the otherwise mysterious prophecy in Daniel 9:27–"And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation, which is determined, is poured out on the desolate."
