Daniel was never in Babylon. Its history not prophecy.. Daniel was writing about when Antiochus IV sacrificed a pig to Zeus in the Temple.. He defiled the Temple among other things. He made circumcision a crime and put Jews to death for it.
He was trying to Hellenize the Jews.
That's why the...
Jesus knew what the Abomination of Desolation was. He knew about Antiochus and the Maccabean Revolt. Its ridiculous to think he didn't know because it was a terrible time for the Jews .. and Jesus would have known the history of Hannukah when the Temple was rededicated.
Jesus could also see...
In context Isaiah is writing about one of his sons. Maher-shalal-hash-baz was Isaiah's second son. The first was Shear-Jashub (Isaiah 7:3)

Nope. I am not confused at all. You just haven't bothered to study history so you fail to understand what Jesus was talking about.
The reason for Hannukah is because they celebrate the rededication of the Temple after Antiochus IV defiled it.. Defiling the Temple CAUSES desolation.
Antiochus...
Jesus knew about Antiochus IV and how he defiled the Temple and made circumcision illegal.. so he is saying when you see the Abomination of Desolation again, flee to the mountains.
You are operating in a vacuum because you don't know any history.
