On Mount of Olives, Peter, James, John, and Andrew asked Jesus when these things will be.
Mark 13:14 But when you shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Mark 13:14 When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’ standing where it does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
Mark 13:14 “The day is coming when you will see the sacrilegious object that causes desecration[ standing where he should not be.” (Reader, pay attention!) “Then those in Judea must flee to the hills.
But whenever you see this rot of this emptiness having been placed where it need not, the one recognizing must understand. Then those in this Judea must flee into the mountains.
People want to establish what is rotten and empty.
Ὅταν δὲ ἴδητε “τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως” ἑστηκότα ὅπου οὐ δεῖ,
whenever But you see this rot of this emptiness having been placed where not it need ,
ὁ ἀναγινώσκων νοείτω, τότε τότε οἱ ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ φευγέτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὄρη,
the one recognizing must understand. Then those in this Judea must flee into the mountains.
The Greek verb translated as "it ought, not" "it does not belong," "he should not be," means "it need not." This verb is usually translated as "must" in the Bible but it is softer than that. It cites a need, usually to do something.
The verb form, the "third-party command" that is best translated with a "must" is used here twice with "understand" and "flee." This is usually translated with the helped verb "let," which changes the subject into the second-person and the subject of the verb to the object of "let," and the object verb from an infinitive to an active verb. This distort the "command" into asking for permission.
The word translated as "abomination" means something closer to "rot." The word translated as "desolation" has th the sense of "emptiness." The "rot" of "emptiness" makes more sense than the more obscure idea of "the abomination of the desolation."

It is translated consistently as "abomination," but a related noun means "sickness", "nausea," "filth," and "nastiness." The verb form means "to feel loathing for food", "to make a stink," and "to make loathsome." The most common word of this root word is the adjective that means "disgusting" and "loathsome." In the source reference, Dan 12:11, the Hebrew word means "detestable things", "idol", "impure clothing," and "flesh of victims." The root means "to contaminate," and "to pollute."
of -- This word comes from the genitive case of the following word(s) that required the addition of a preposition in English.

Here, the Hebrew source word means "to be desolate", "to be deflowered," "to stun", "to be appalled", "to devastate", "to ravage", "to cause horror," and "to cause oneself ruin." When Christ refers to the "desert" or "wilderness" he uses the noun form of this word.
