Kidron might be right.
And I wouldn't be surprised if this is it, we are here. We are in the days of Lot again which is the abomination of desolation but this time it's not just in one city, it's on a global scale. The USA became the 21st nation on the planet to legalize same sex marriage:

It's the transgression of desolation from Daniel 8. We have probably just entered inside of the 1290 day span. See how Luke 17 replaces the abomination of desolation with the days of Lot. Remember how in Matthew after seeing the abomination of desolation we are told to flee and not come back to collect our belongings.
Matthew 24:
“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak.
Notice again in the Luke version how those exact same instructions come right after "the days of Lot".
Luke 17:
Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back.
Luke has exchanged the "abomination of desolation" for the "days of Lot". Are the Bible writers trying to give us a hint? Just like it was in the days of Lot when fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed the Sodomites. That sounds to me just like saying when you see the days of Lot you can stick a fork in us, we're done and head for the hills.
Think of it like the "abomination that makes desolate" is when the "transgressors have reached their limit". Notice a Divine "limit to transgression", it's the kingdom of the transgressors not the kingdom of the 4 horns. This is not talking about a specific nation or kingdom, but instead is referring to the prevailing number or group of world wide transgressing individuals. Are we now living at the latter end of the kingdom of the transgressors when they have reached and exceeded their "limit". Is it a particular transgression itself that makes desolate like the last straw and this causes the "taking away of the daily" by Jesus in Heaven's Temple that starts our tribulation clock. Luke seems to be saying so. Luke seems to be saying when you see the days of Lot run because fire is about to rain from the sky. "Abomination" just means a despicable act, so it's a despicable act of the transgression of God's Law that makes desolate. Make sense?
Leviticus 18:
22You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
23And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion.
24“Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean,
25and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants.
26But you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you
27(for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean),
28lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you.
29For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people.
30So keep my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: I am the Lord your God.”
