Abomination of Desolation

The "Abomination of Desolation" refers to a biblical prophecy, initially mentioned in the Book of Daniel and later echoed by Jesus, predicting a sacrilegious act—such as an idol or desecration—being placed in a sacred Jewish temple. Historically, it is associated with events like the Roman destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in 70 AD, and some interpret future applications involving the Antichrist. Essentially, it signifies a profound act of disrespect and defilement against what is sacred, symbolizing a period of great upheaval and defiance against divine or sacred boundaries.
