Biblical Terminology: Interesting Terms and Phrases

I'll try to keep an alphabetical order of these, based on phonetics. Some of these terms are well known by either the English speakers or Chinese speakers but new to me.

Abomination of Desolation (那行毁坏可憎的) (it seems that American Christians generally know this phrase): Described in Daniel, mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24:15-16. Prophesying that the Greek King Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 2 B.C. offered pagan sacrifices in Jewish temple. Also alluded to the destruction of the temple in 70AD by the Romans in Luke 21:20-21, and also referred to Jesus' second coming in Mark 13:14.
