The "Abomination of Desolation" comes from the description in Daniel of Antiochus Epiphanus' desecration of the Temple.

Some post-Pauline source used it as an analogy for the Temple's desecration in 70 C.E.


Man of Sin" in 2 Thess 2:1-12.KJV! This often referenced to both Daniel and what Jsus said. It is believed by the Grace Movement that Jsus foretold the destruction of the Temple then he time traveled to his second coming when the Anti-Christ does the Abomination of Desolation by setting himself up as G-d in the Third Temple. My Scofield says that Antiochus Epiphanus was the little horn of Daniel 8:9. Whereas the "Abomination of Desolation" stated Dan 9:27 is the future Anti-Christ.
