Abomination of Desolation
Abomination of Desolation is a concept for Jews and Christians referring to a horrible person who defies God and works for Satan.
An expression that occurs three times in the Septuagint of Daniel (9:27; 11:31; 12:11) and twice in the words of Jesus (Matt 24:15; Mark 13:14), where slight linguistic variation exists. Luke’s account of this prophecy (21:20) is more general and speaks of armies surrounding Jerusalem. First Maccabees, quoting Daniel, refers these words to the sacrifice of swine’s flesh on the altar in Jerusalem by Antiochus IV, Epiphanes, in 168 b.c. (1:54). Josephus, without referring to Daniel, recounts this episode in detail (Antiq. 7.5.4). Jesus, in using these cryptic words of Daniel, is also predicting a desecration of the temple, or at least the temple area, which will parallel the catastrophic event of the past, so well remembered by the Jews of his day.

minister
Minister
Amtract entry for Minister
Personal Comment – A minister is a slave or servant (ownership is not particularly a concept with this concept, so whether the servant is your property or you are paying him as an employee, or he is doing this of his own free will, all are mixed in the concept). The concept here is that somebody is doing things for your personal benefit, or to an organization (ministers serve God by serving the church which is made up of individual members). The principle concept is to be of use or service to the one you serve.
hypocrite
Hypocrite
Amtract entry for hypocrite
Personal Comment – hypocrites is to present oneself as one thing when in reality they are something else entirely. Hypocrisy is just the opposite of what God is. God is a certain thing, and he presents himself as that thing. God is always true and presents things as they are, including in his presentation of himself to us. The point here of being deceptive is at the heart of Satan, and people that are hypocrites are exactly like Satan, presenting one set of norms, standards, or lifestyle when in reality they really are something totally different and opposite in spiritual nature.
Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost
HOLY SPIRIT OR HOLY GHOST
Amtract dictionary entry for Holy Spirit
Personal Comment – The third person of the Trinity or the Holy Spirit is a personal being that is characterized most strongly by being holy. He is separated unto righteousness, goodness, and what is at the essence of the character of God. Those that have dealings, relationship and communion with the Holy Spirit become holy as a forced event. If the person does not desire this holiness, the relationship is tapered off until it is terminated.
Holy, Holiness
HOLY, HOLINESS
Amtract dictionary entry on Holy Holiness
Personal Note – Holy means separated from the common, mundane of the world, and especially from the commonness which is now man, i.e. sin. Holy refers to that which pertains to God and his distinctiveness which is based in his character, purity, goodness, rightness, etc. We are holy when we become like God. That which is not like God is unholy, and there is yet further degrees of unholiness which become abominations in God’s sight. Holiness is a way of living that is pleasing in the sight of God, and this means being like Christ, being like God.
Jesus Christ
JESUS CHRIST
Entry for Jesus Christ from Amtract Dictionary
Personal Comment – The terminology is very specific. Jesus Christ is a person that exists forever because he is fully God, and he took on humanity to complete the salvation of man’s souls. Jesus comes from the OT Joshua, or Jehovah is salvation. Christ comes from the concept of Messiah or the anointed to do a very special task before God. In Jesus’ case, to execute salvation for God and mankind.
godly
GODLY
Godly entry from the Amtract Dictionary
Personal Comment – The concept of “godly” has to do with God. How God is, so is the godly. When we take on voluntarily the good and righteous character of God, then we become godly, and when we do God’s work in this way that God wants it done, then we are also associated with or become godly.
