☦️ 'Abomination of Desolation'

The "Abomination of Desolation" is a prophetic phrase from the Bible (Daniel, Matthew, Mark, Luke) referring to a sacrilegious act in God's Holy Place, signaling severe judgment, first historically by Antiochus IV Epiphanes (sacrificing pigs/idols in the Temple) and later, in Christian eschatology, by the Antichrist, who will desecrate a future rebuilt Temple and demand worship, marking the Great Tribulation's peak before Christ's return.

The Antichrist: In future-focused interpretations, the Antichrist will set up an idol or image in the rebuilt Jewish Temple, declaring himself God (2 Thessalonians 2:4)
