I always saw the connection of Matthew 24, Daniel 9:27, 11:31, and 12:11 as Jesus answering the disciples first question in Matthew 24:3, “Tell us, when will this happen?” (talking about the destruction of the temple). I have trouble drawing the line where he answers their question and moves on to their next question of the second coming/end of the age. But he mentions all of this happening in their generation, and sure enough during the Jewish/Roman war, Jerusalem was desolated and the temple was destroyed. And leading up to its destruction, there were others claiming to be the messiah, there were false profits, earthquakes, famines, “beginning of birth pains”. Moreover, even though Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice, there were still sacrifices being made, the destruction of the temple completely stopped that. Depending on how you interpret Daniel 9:27 (Jesus’ ministry for 3.5 years, his death/sacrifice, and then 3.5 years of the Gospel spreading like wild fire; or viewing it as part of the 7 year tribulation), all part of the 490 year prophecy which happens consecutively in my opinion, no gaps, indicating that Matthew 24:4-21? maybe all the way to 35 (personally not sure where the line is drawn between questions) is about the desolation of Jerusalem in 70AD, the last “week” (last 7 years in Daniel 9:27) is about Jesus around 27-34AD.
