The word 'abomination' in the Old Testa-
ment is used again and again with idol
worship.

Idolatry is an abomination unto the Lord.
Idols of heathens are abominations.

When the Antichrist breaks the covenant
he will bring in the
'image of the Beast'
and set it up in
the Temple or
'holy place'
It would be an
abomination
appearing in
the holy place.
