Something that deeply offends. Often describes something that offends God and his standard of holiness. The Bible also mentions the “abomination of desolation” (or “abomination that makes desolate”), apparently referring to some profane act or object permitted in the temple (Dan. 11:31; 12:11; Matt. 24:15).
