Definition of Desolation, Abomination of in the Bible

  

Desolation, Abomination of

Desolation, Abomination of: (Matt. 24:15; Mark 13:14; compare Luke 21:20), is interpreted of the eagles, the standards of the Roman army, which were an abomination to the Jews. These standards, rising over the site of the temple, were a sign that the holy place had fallen under the idolatrous Romans. The references are to Dan. 9:27. (See ABOMINATION T0000053.)
