Abomination Abominable

Abomination Abominable

'''A — 1: ἀθέμιτος (Strong'S #111 — Adjective — athemitos — ath-em'-ee-tos )

occurs in  Acts 10:28 , "unlawful," and  1 Peter 4:3 , "abominable" (a, negative, themitos, an adjective from themis, "law"), hence, "unlawful." See Unlawful.

'''A — 2: βδελυκτός (Strong'S #947 — Adjective — bdelyktós — bdel-ook-tos' )

 Titus 1:16, is said of deceivers who profess to know God, but deny Him by their works.

'''B — 1: βδελύσσομαι (Strong'S #948 — Verb — bdelusso — bdel-oos'-so )

see Abhor , No. 2.

'''C — 1: βδέλυγμα (Strong'S #946 — Noun Neuter — bdelugma — bdel'-oog-mah )

akin to A, No. 2 and B, denotes an "object of disgust, an abomination." This is said of the image to be set up by Antichrist,  Matthew 24:15;  Mark 13:14; of that which is highly esteemed amongst men, in contrast to its real character in the sight of God,  Luke 16:15 . The constant association with idolatry suggests that what is highly esteemed among men constitutes an idol in the human heart. In  Revelation 21:27 , entrance is forbidden into the Holy City on the part of the unclean, or one who "maketh an abomination and a lie." It is also used of the contents of the golden cup in the hand of the evil woman described in  Revelation 17:4 , and of the name ascribed to her in the following verse.
