Abomination of Desolation

Image of the Beast which the Antichrist will erect in the holy place – presumably in the area of the future temple (2 Thess. 2:3 f.) – and to whom he will give breath. Deadly, devastating power emanates from the image (Mk. 13,14; Mt. 24,15). This abomination is directed against the Lord Jesus. The Lord announces it, referring to the prophecies of Daniel (Da 9:27; 12:11).
