The Abomination That Leaves to Desolation

Most popular opinion that the time of jesus would be that that abomination that led to desolation happened under antiochus epiphanes. You got this moment after the ptolemid empire got replaced by the selucid empire, both greek empires. And eventually that insistence encroached into making big, public symbolic gestures meant to point out the imagined superiority of the greek cultural and religious assumptions. That included e supposedly setting up idols to zeus and some really screwed up stuff that happened in the temple. It's why we can't wait to get back to having our own kingdom again.
