Peace in Christ.
The abomination of desolation (man’s handwriting of ordinances) stands…that is, is established…in the holy place where it should not be found.
Man’s handwriting of church ordinances (statements of faith, church constitutions, church by-laws, etc) can be found in every “church” gathering.
Rather than following God’s commandments and statutes and judgments, many follow the handwritings (their commandments and statutes and judgments) of men.
The major hint to the understanding of what is the abomination of desolation comes in the following statement: “whoso readeth, let him understand”.
Matthew 24:15-16 KJV
(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand)
(16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

(17) Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
The writing was done in the fashion of an appearing of a man’s hand and was written within the king’s palace (or temple) in a decree-like writing.
Man’s handwriting of ordinances was being parodied by God written decrees and it was found in the king’s palace …and today it is found in the King’s holy place and is against the “candlestick” or Light (knowledge) of God.
Daniel 5:5 KJV
(5) In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

(23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
