The "abomination that desolates" is typically read in the context of the New Testament references made to this expression in the Olivet Discourse and understood as belonging to a complex eschatological tableaux described therein, which may or may not remain to be fulfilled.

Dan 7:25; 12:7)—appear to reckon time in this way in certain prophetic contexts.
