It is often used in a prophetic or apocalyptic context to describe the destruction or abandonment of a place, particularly as a result of divine judgment or human sinfulness. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of a place being left in ruins or uninhabited.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the biblical context, desolation often signifies divine judgment against nations or peoples who have turned away from God. The imagery of desolation is prevalent in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament, where it serves as a warning of the consequences of disobedience to God's covenant. In the New Testament, the concept is carried forward, particularly in eschatological passages that speak of future judgment and the end times.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2050</b> <i>erḗmōsis</i> (from <a href="/greek/2049.htm">2049</a> <i>/erēmóō</i>, "lay waste, make destitute, barren") – <i>desolation</i> (desecration) that results from being cut off (isolated). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2049.htm">erémoó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a making desolate<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>desolation (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2050: ἐρήμωσις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐρήμωσις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐρημεως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἐρημόω</span>), <span class="accented">a making desolate, desolation</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/24-15.htm">Matthew 24:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/13-14.htm">Mark 13:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/21-20.htm">Luke 21:20</a>; see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">βδέλυγμα</span></span>, c.
