Abominable, Abomination


Definition of Abominable, Abomination from Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words which is keyed to the English Version (1881-1885), which is similar to the ASV 1901 (American Standard Version)

<A-1,Adjective,111,athemitos>
occurs in Acts 10:28, "unlawful," and 1 Pet. 4:3, "abominable" (a, negative, themitos, an adjective from themis, "law"), hence, "unlawful." See UNLAWFUL.

<A-2,Adjective,947,bdeluktos>
Titus 1:16, is said of deceivers who profess to know God, but deny Him by their works.

<B-1,Verb,948,bdelusso>
see ABHOR, No. 2.

<C-1,Noun,946,bdelugma>
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, Matt. 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 Rev. 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
