The urgency was for the saints to be prepared for what would happen in 70AD.
The abomination of desolation is an event that starts with the destruction of Jerusalem.
So even if this message is only about the destruction of the temple and the inability to worship and make sacrifices it still covers all the necessary parts of the abomination of desolation.
15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.

You have not solved the problem that the abomination comes before the flight. Those are the words of Jesus, not mine; "WHEN you see... THEN flee."

Who was it the first century, the Roman empire/armies with their pagan ideologies, standing in a spot that was holy to the Jews, the temple area.
There is evidence that the wolf held a special place in the world of the ancient inhabitants of Italy. One legend claims that the Hirpini people were so-called because, when they set out to found their first colony, they were led to its location by a wolf (from the Osco-Umbrian word for wolf: hirpus). The tale of the Lupercal is central to that of the twins, and probably predates theirs. To the Roman god Mars, the wolf is a sacred animal. There is an ongoing debate about a connection to the ancient Roman festival of the Lupercalia.
The wolf appears elsewhere in Roman art and literature in masculine form as the animal of Mars. A statue group that stood along the Appian Way showed Mars in the company of wolves.[52] At the Battle of Sentinum in 295 BCE, the appearance of the wolf of Mars (Martius lupus) was a sign that Roman victory was to come.[53]
