Abomination of desolation: Old Testament origin in Daniel and Antiochus Epiphanes as partial fulfillment
Point 1 and the partial/total fulfillment analysis of the abomination of desolation.
The phrase originates in Daniel 9:27, 11:31, and 12:11 — involving the removal of the regular burnt offering and the setting up of a desolating abomination. In the second century BC, Antiochus Epiphanes fulfilled this partially by bringing a pig into the temple and profaning it; Jews of that time called it 'the abomination of desolation.' But Jesus in Mark 13 treats it as still future, indicating partial fulfillment under Antiochus and a coming total fulfillment. The Antiochus event is the 'sample' (mall chicken on a toothpick), not the plate. Mike argues preterism treats the sample as the meal.
