What is the Abomination of Desolation?

In the Bible, Jesus talked about something called the "abomination of desolation" in Matthew 24:15-16. He was referring to a prophecy from the book of Daniel. Basically, Jesus warned that a terrible event would happen where something (or someone) awful would show up in the temple, and when that happened, people in Judea should quickly run for safety.

An "abomination" is something that causes great disgust or hate, and "desolation" means emptiness or destruction. So, Jesus was saying that when this awful event occurs in the temple, people should be ready to escape immediately.


The prophet Daniel first mentioned this event in his writings. He talked about a future leader who would make a seven-year agreement with Israel. However, halfway through, this leader would break the agreement, stop sacrifices in the temple, and place a sacrilegious object there. This desecration would cause destruction until the end times.


There was a historical event in 167 BC when a Greek ruler named Antiochus IV Epiphanes desecrated the Jewish temple. He set up an altar to the Greek god Zeus and even sacrificed a pig, which was a huge offense to the Jews. But Jesus spoke about the "abomination of desolation" much later, which means the prophecy still has a future fulfillment.


Many people believe this event will be repeated by the Antichrist during the end times. The Antichrist will make a deal with Israel, then break it after 3½ years by desecrating the temple. This will start the worst period of suffering in history, called the Great Tribulation, which will last another 3½ years.


For those living during these times, Jesus clearly warned. Stay alert and be prepared for what’s coming. He said in Luke 21:36 to watch and pray so that you may escape what is about to happen.
