It is generally agreed that the first abomination of desolation was committed by Antiochus Epiphanes IV when he entered the Holy Temple and offered swine as a sacrifice. It was first prophesied in the book of Daniel and according to what Messiah Yeshua said, will be carried out again when the antichrist enters the temple at the mid point of the tribulation.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
Matthew 24
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
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:
Yahweh has repeatedly said that eating swine is an abomination to Him. Yeshua did NOT "clean it" when He was on earth - He could never have done so because it would have been a sin to go against what Yahweh said was an abomination. Yeshua did not rebel against Yahweh during the time satan tempted Him nor did He ever sin - including eating swine - while He was on earth. When the apostle Paul taught the Bereans about Yeshua, they checked everything he taught them against scripture and would have reject both Paul and Yeshua if Paul taught them Yeshua cleansed what is called an abomination by Yahweh.
Speaking of the end times, Yahweh said He will come against those who sin - including eating swines flesh and unclean broth (I always think "clam chowder" when I read it) as well as the Bethel-Redding "grave suckers" who think they are holier than those who obey Torah.
Deuteronomy 14:8 And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
Isaiah 65
1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3 A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4 Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
Note that this is spoken of in the time after Israel became a nation in a day which happened in 1948:
Isaiah 66
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her:
...
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.
Messiah said His body was a temple when He spoke about His death and resurrection:
John 2
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
The apostle Paul spoke of our bodies of Yeshua's followers being the temple of the Holy Spirit which lives in the believer:
1 Corinthians 6
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Since the believers' body is the temple and the Holy Spirit lives within us, and Yahweh calls eating swine's flesh (and shellfish, etc.) an ABOMINATION, then we need to obey what He said and not eat the things He said to not eat. The abomination of desolation was sacrificing swine in the Holy Temple and since the body is also the temple, then eating swine's flesh is an abomination of desolation.
Messiah Yeshua would NEVER have contradicted what He and His Father commanded us - and He says He will reject those who claim to be His if they do not obey what Yahweh says. :
1 John 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Matthew 7
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. G458
Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia) :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
a) because ignorant of it
b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
John14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
John15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
1 John 2
3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John 5
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
