It is far more modernist than traditional, as not until the appearance of dispensational futurism's Scofield Reference Bible in the 20th century did the malinterpretation emerge widely. No historical expositor prior to then ever identified the AoD as antichrist.This traditional interpretation has become so deeply ingrained that study Bibles routinely offer it in their margin notes.
The identity of the AoD is plain from Luke's parallel text in Luke 21:20.
It is the Roman armies, who would "stand" in the holy place, as you've pointed out.
