Show me where it did happen. It should be easy for you. It isn't the destruction of the Temple. The Abomination is something that was abhorent to God - such as the idol that Antiochus Epiphanes set up prior to New Testament times. The abomination is something that is set up - like an image of the beast.
By the way, that abomination occurs mid-point in the Tribulation period- the period which ends with the Lord's return at Armageddon. Since this has not occurred, then one must assume it is yet future.

I suspect you have some verses in mind to support your schema, but that is not apparent to me.
Smith's Bible DictionaryMentioned by our Saviour, (Matthew 24:15) as a sign of the approaching destruction of Jerusalem, with reference to (Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) The prophecy referred ultimately to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and consequently the "abomination" must describe some occurrence connected with that event. It appears most probable that the profanities of the Zealots constituted the abomination, which was the sign of the impending ruin; but most people refer it to the standards or banners of the Roman army. They were abomination because there were idolatrous images upon them.
Easton's Bible Dictionary: Desolation, Abomination of
(Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14; Compare Luke 21:20), is interpreted of the eagles, the standards of the Roman army, which were an abomination to the Jews. These standards, rising over the site of the temple, were a sign that the holy place had fallen under the idolatrous Romans. The references are to Daniel 9:27.
