Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation,.... The Roman army encompassing Jerusalem, which was an abomination to the Jews, and an "impure sign" of their destruction, as the Syriac and Persic versions render it; and a desolating one to their nation, city, and temple: spoken of by Daniel the prophet, in Dan 9:

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Therefore it was an abomination, because it brought with it nothing but desolation. They had rejected Christ as an abomination, who would have been their salvation; and now God brought upon them an abomination that would be their desolation, thus spoken of by Daniel the prophet ( ch. ix. 27 ), as that by which this sacrifice and offering should be made to cease.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1857)

We are taught in these verses the lawfulness of using means to provide for our own personal safety . The language of our Lord Jesus Christ on the subject is clear and unmistakable — "Let those who be in Judea FLEE to the mountains — let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house — let him that is in the field not turn back again — pray you that your flight be not in the winter."

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

But when ye shall see--"Jerusalem compassed by armies"--by encamped armies; in other words, when ye shall see it besieged, and the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not--that is, as explained in Matthew (Mt 24:15), "standing in the holy place." (let him that readeth understand)--readeth that prophecy.
