Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Abomination
Of Desolation
The Abomination Of Desolation is mentioned by our Saviour, (Matthew
24:15) as a sign of the approaching destruction of Jerusalem, with
reference to (Daniel 9:27; 11:31; 12:11) The prophecy referred
ultimately to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and
consequently the "abomination" must describe some occurrence
connected with that event. It appears most probable that the profanities
of the Zealots constituted the abomination, which was the sign of the
impending ruin; but most people refer it to the standards or banners of
the Roman army. They were abomination because there were idolatrous
images upon them.
