what is in the holy place now? 

A Key

to understanding Daniel and the Apocalypse.  Google doesn’t recognize the question but with Wikipedia you will find three historical events that might be the abomination of desolation mentioned by Jesus.
 – Antiochus IV Epiphanes  of Greece in 167 BC
 – Titus of Rome in 70 AD
 – Dome of the Rock of Islam in 691 AD
If it is all about the Temple, you may be looking at three of the four beasts of Daniel

horns are dynasties

A Theory

held by a few.  Chances are you won’t find dynasty in your bible.  Only two versions have it.  I believe horns are dynasties not because Jerome and Isaac Newton did but because it fits.  I couldn’t find the right number of kings to fit but I did find the right number of dynasties.  I not only found ten dynasties to fit the ten horns, I also found seven dynasties to fit the seven heads.

making the pieces fit 

A Necessary Ingredient

in confirming the fulfillment of prophecy and that includes Daniel.  The ten horns is just one of the things that are shared with the Apocalypse.  You won’t find it in any other part of the bible.  This is where you start tying the two books together.  Horns are dynasties.

the future 

A Place

to put all your interpretations.  It will always be there.  The future can be anything you want it to be.  Not so much with history.  You can try to rewrite it but there are too many honest historians out there to protect it.  History is all we have to verify prophecy.  We just have to make it fit.  Not just a few of the pieces.  All of them.

death 

A Rider

with authority to kill with sword, famine, and plague.  May not find a pale green sea but I will continue to look.  It’s my job.  I will also continue to look for people who are killed by the sword, famine, and plague.  I will not waste my time trying to interpret the phrase.  All we can do is look for historical events that might fit.

white red black  

A Sea of Colors

that suggest the identity of the horsemen.  Start with the Red Sea and the Black Sea.  Start with a sword and the power to take peace from the world.  Start with the history of Islam from the Red Sea .  The colors have meaning.  Early on the greatest threat to the Church was Islam.  History shows that.  The next great threat was Communism from the Black Sea.

one thing leads to another 

A Detective

following leads.  Early on in this investigation, I found another city with seven hills, a mystery, and an empire that lasted a thousand years.  There is only one that lasted that long.  It was a Christian empire.  It was the Byzantine Empire.  So why am I the only one paying attention to it?  How can you ignore it?  Easy if you are looking for Christ to reign.  So where does it say Christ will reign?

conspicuous 

A Word

that demands attention.   J. Kevin Coyle used it in his
AUGUSTINE AND APOCALYPTIC:
THOUGHTS ON THE FALL OF ROME,
THE BOOK OF REVELATION,
AND THE END OF THE WORLD
“It is in this context that for the first time and only time Augustine pays sustained attention to the Book of Revelation (or Apocalypse), conspicuous by its absence from the previous stages we have viewed.”  He goes on to say “this is not the place to try to fill the gap”.

I guess that is my job.  To fill the gap I will point out that Augustine had words with Jerome about not needing another translation of the bible.  Jerome finished the Vulgate at least twenty years before Augustine wrote chapter 7, where he addresses the Apocoalypse, in Book XX of City of God.
