Execration
An execration is a thing held in abomination.
The prophet Daniel predicted an execration which he called an "abomination of desolation" three times, all within the context of apocalyptic visions. (Daniel 9:27, 11:31, 12:11)
"Forces from him will arise, desecrate the sanctuary fortress, and do away with the regular sacrifice And they will set up the abomination of desolation." (Daniel 11:31, NASB)
In the "Olivet Discourse", Jesus adopts Daniel's terminology. (Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14)
