The trangression (sin) causing desolation has a lot to do with the New Covenant and .......... Holy Spirit.
After all Jesus Christ said he would forgive our sins and so what is the transgression guaranteed to cause desolation.
Will it not be forgiven.
Made a video series regarding this topic.

The trangression (sin) causing desolation has a lot to do with the New Covenant and .......... Holy Spirit.
No need for private interpretations. Jesus explained it to us:
"Therefore, when YOU catch sight of the disgusting thing that causes desolation, as spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, (let the reader use discernment,) then let those in Ju·de´a begin fleeing to the mountains." (Mathew 24:15,16)
"Furthermore, when YOU see Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that the desolating of her has drawn near. 21 Then let those in Ju·de´a begin fleeing to the mountains..." (Luke 21:20,21)
So Luke's gospel provides the scriptural interpretation.
Jerusalem is the "holy place", and "encamped armies" are "the disgusting thing that causes desolation".
So the scriptural interpretation of Daniel 11:31,32 (as partly provided by Jesus) is as follows:
"And there will be arms that will stand up, proceeding from him [[the Romans]]; and they will actually profane the sanctuary [[the Temple in Jerusalem]], the fortress [[of Antonia]], and remove the constant [feature] [[the Daily Sacrifice]]. And they will certainly put in place the disgusting thing that is causing desolation [[Roman armies surround Jerusalem]]."
We know this is the correct interpretation because the Christians escaped Jerusalem in 66AD precisely by this interpretation!
If they had ANY OTHER INTERPRETATION than the one set out, they would have been bird food, trapped in Jerusalem with the rest.
They didn't... they got out right on time (66AD)... and fled to Pella, according to Eusebius.
Josephus fills in the rest... the Roman came back in 70AD, breached the walls of Jerusalem, and by the time they did so, the Daily Sacrifice ceased. The fortress of Antonia was pulled down, and then the Temple was profaned by Roman ensigns (their gods), before it was burned down.
The Christians fled Jerusalem in 66AD because Jesus was warning THEM. That is why Luke explains the details that Mathew leaves blank... and Josephus fills in the historical details, all laid out in his "seven thunders"... oops, I mean, 7 books entitled Wars Of The Jews.

Well the trick is not to get caught doing it
While do the rest and feign repentence
