Yes, I believe that the abomination of desolation setup will trigger the beginning of the great tribulation.
And when them in Judaea see it, Jesus tells them to flee to the mountains without delay.
Matthew 24:
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.
If you agree with Jesus that the great tribulation takes place when the abomination that causes desolation is set up,then you should also agree it takes place in Daniel 12:1 when Daniel says there is tribulation ,the likes of which has never been because Jesus was quoting from this verse.
"there shall be a time of tribulation, such tribulation as has not been from the time that there was a nation on the earth until that time:"
Daniel 12:1-2
And at that time Michael the great prince shall stand up, that stands over the children of thy people: and
there shall be a time of tribulation, such tribulation as has not been from the time that there was a nation on the earth until that time: at that time thy people shall be delivered,
even every one that is written in the book.
And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproach and everlasting shame.
As you can see in Daniel 12:1-2,the great tribulation takes place at this time ,and this is also the time them who sleep in the dust awake and are judged..
The king of the norths armed forces set up the abomination that causes desolation when he goes forth to destroy and annihilate many.
Daniel 11:44
But reports from the east and the north will alarm him, and he will set out in a great rage to destroy and annihilate many.
And as Daniel 12:1-2 shows The resurection takes place at the same time as the great tribulation and the great tribulation is caused by the abomination of desolation.
Your reading about the abomination of desolation in revelation 11:12-13.It is what causes the great earthquake and a cloud to depart from Jerusalem on resurrection day.
Revelation 11
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.
13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.
By day 1335,everyone who offends in Christs kingdom will have been disposed of.The only people left in his kingdom he recieves at the seventh Trump,will have been saved (delivered)as in Daniel 12:1.
