| rdfs:comment | - The Abomination of Desolation is a Biblical term for a specific act: the desecration of the Jewish temple via the setting up of an image of a pagan god inside the sanctuary, followed by the sacrifice of a sow or other animal considered unclean. This act occurred only once in the historical record, when Antiochus IV Epiphanes profaned the Second Temple, sparking the Maccabean Revolt.
- The "abomination of desolation" spoken of by the prophet Daniel and referred to by Jesus in Matthew 24:15-22 in the Olivet Discourse takes place in the book "Desecration" when Nicolae Carpathia sacrifices a pig in the Holy of Holies of the Temple and splashes its blood upon the altar. He also attempts to have the golden image of himself brought into the Temple so people can worship him as God. This outrages the Jews to the point where they are calling for Carpathia's blood, and their response causes Nicolae to break the seven-year agreement of protection for Israel. From that point on, the Temple is never used again, and it is later destroyed by God in "Kingdom Come".
