The abomination of Desolation, is easily explain, if you do study what the JEWS thought would make the TEMPLE DESOLATE.
Have you ever HEARD what the High Priest must do on Day of Atonement before he entered the HOLY OF HOLIES, to sprinkle Blood on the MERCY SEAT.

The Ark of the Covenant and the LID is known as the Mercy Seat.
No one knows for sure what the Ark of the Covenant looks like, but these make sense to me, as it has to has room to sit.
2 Chronicles 35:11 (NKJV)
11 And they slaughtered the Passover
offerings; and the priests sprinkled
the blood with their hands, while the Levites skinned
the animals.
Leviticus 16:14-15 (ESV)
14 And he shall take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the front of
the mercy seat on the east side, and in front of
the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.
15 “Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering that is for the people and bring its blood inside the veil and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull, sprinkling it over
the mercy seat and in front of
the mercy seat.
So when the High Priest went into the Holy of Holies on the DAY OF ATONEMENT, the LAST THING HE DID BEFORE ENTERING THE CURTAIN, WAS TO TIE A ROPE AROUND ONE OF HIS LEGS. THAT WAY THEY COULD DRAG HIM OUT QUICKLY IF HE DIED IN THERE.
So it is DEAD BODIES in or on top of the TEMPLE that DEFILES THE TEMPLE TO THE POINT IT IS THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION, in my opinion. When Antichrist marches into the TEMPLE, SITS DOWN, and NOW YOU WILL WORSHIP ME, or I will chop off your HEADS. The Temple Priests may be the first Martyrs to DIE of the Tribulation Saints. Where does HE DO IT? I think he told in the PROPHECY.
Daniel 9:27 (HCSB)
27 He will make a firm covenant with many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and offering. And
the abomination of desolation will be on {top of} a wing of the temple until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.”
ANTICHRIST IS GOING TO MAKE A PUBLIC SPECTACLE OF THE EXECUTIONS!
There is a stair case to the top of the TEMPLE, probably for cleaning purposes, and the FEAST OF TRUMPETS.
