Oh, I agree that there will be no rebuilt temple in Jerusalem.
I fully realize that you agree with that. But that is beside the point in this particular case.
Yet, one reason why, maybe this is not true in your case, I don't know---that some interpreters refuse to consider the possibility that Matthew 24:15-26 might not be involving the first century and 70 AD, is to then agree with Pretribbers that it's involving a literal rebuilt temple in Jerusalem in the final days of this age.
That is clearly a valid reason to not bother with considering that Matthew 24:15-26 might not be involving the first century and 70 AD. That should be the end of it then, nothing further to discuss since it is preposterous that there is going to be this rebuilt temple where these things involving Matthew 24:15-26 are fulfilled. Except that's not the only option. There is another option, these events involving an AOD in the holy place is not to be taken literal, as if it will be involving these things taking place in a literal brick and mortar temple. Whether that be the 2nd temple in the first century before it was destroyed, or if it's a rebuilt temple in the future.
Daniel 12 proves a literal temple can't be meant since a resurrection event is at the end of these things. A resurrection event that will likely take place sometime in the 21st century. Therefore, the unequaled time of trouble and the AOD during it, it has to involve the same era of time the resurrection event will be involving, obviously. Since there couldn't possibly be a gap of thousands of years between what Daniel 12:1 is involving and this resurrection event in the next verse.
