It often conveys a sense of destruction or abandonment, typically in a divine or prophetic context. The term can refer to physical desolation, such as the destruction of cities or lands, as well as spiritual desolation, indicating a state of being forsaken or devoid of God's presence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, desolation was a common consequence of war, conquest, and divine judgment. Cities and lands that were once thriving could be reduced to ruins, symbolizing not only physical destruction but also the loss of divine favor and protection. In the Jewish prophetic tradition, desolation often served as a warning of impending judgment due to the people's unfaithfulness to God. This concept was deeply ingrained in the cultural and religious consciousness of the time.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 2049</b> <i>erēmóō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2048.htm">2048</a> <i>/érēmos</i>, "wilderness, desolate area") – make desolate, isolated (left alone); lay waste, destroy (leave abandoned, deserted).</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/2048.htm">erémos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to desolate<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>desolate (1), laid waste (4).<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 2049: ἐρημόω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἐρημόω</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἐρήμῳ</span>: passive (present 3 person singular (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 38 (33)) <span class="greek2">ἐρημοῦται</span>); perfect participle <span class="greek2">ἠρημωμενος</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐρημωθην</span>; (<span class="greek2">ἔρημος</span>); from <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> down; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> usually for <span class="hebrew">חָרֵב</span>, <span class="hebrew">הֶחֱרִיב</span>, <span class="hebrew">שָׁמֵם</span>; <span class="accented">to make desolate, lay waste</span>; in the N.
