From some reason you think that history came through only one person. Accounts, written and verbal, of history by them who had experienced it have come and gone. Not just one person experienced the times of Antiochus IV.
Jason of Cyrene gave his account. But the author of 1Maccabees is not known. The abomination of desolation was an idol. The time of the end abomination of desolation will be a statue image (idol) of the beast set up on the temple mount .
The abomination of desolation is in 1Maccabees1:
54 Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu,
in the hundred forty and fifth year,
they set up
the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and
builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on
every side;

Daniel 11:31-32 abomination of desolation is before the time of the end. The time of the end transition verse is Daniel 11:35. Everything before it is historic.
Daniel 11:
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
Daniel 11:36 picks up at the time of the end and is talking about the beast-king.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
Daniel 11:36 does not pick up.Thete is not change of kings from Daniel 11:31-36.
31 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
The king before this king in Daniel 11:36 is the king in daniel.11:20.Amd there are previous kings before him who all live in the same palace.The fist king of the north mentioned in Daniel is in daniel.11:7.
You believe whatever Jason of Cyrene has taught and you have not been watching any of them Doug.Jesus commanded us to watch but you have not because of Jason's doctrine.
Oh well,If you choose not to watch then that is on you..
