a beast 

A Temple – 

A desolation.  Babylon destroyed the first temple.  Greece desecrated the second.  Rome destroyed the second.  Islam is preventing the third.  The four beasts of Daniel.  They all messed with the temple.  That is what determines a beast in the mind of Daniel.  John seems to agree.  Jesus mentioned it.  What is in the holy place now?  The Dome of the Rock.

A Temple – 

A revelation in Daniel.  What makes a beast a beast?  Daniel knows beasts and abominations.  Jesus wanted us to pay attention to them.   An abomination is something that you do to the holy place.  The Temple.  Only a beast would mess with the Temple.  With only two Temples, how do you get four beasts?

a number 

A Year – 

A date, a beginning, a start, a mark.  Nearly every product sold today has a date marking its beginning.  The word “number” in Daniel refers to years.  Historians are good at ignoring what may have happened in the year 666 but we do know Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople about that time.
