A Fit 

but not proof.  While history is the only way to demonstrate the fulfillment of prophecy, it takes many pieces to fit in order to be sure you are on the right track.  You can trust numbers which do not require interpretation but you need a number of pieces to fit.  So start with the big pieces.  They are the hardest to fit.  Like a thousand years.  A big fit.  
Watch for more pieces that fit.  Blessed is the one who looks.

abomination of desolation

A Holy Place 

spoken of by Jesus.  Daniel mentions abomination three times.  The first has “he shall make it desolate” and that should be Antiochus IV Epiphanes.  The second has “they shall place” and that should be Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan.  The third is the time between the destruction of the first Temple and the placement of the Dome of the Rock preventing the third Temple.  It fits.

the four beasts

A Temple 

will make.  Daniel 7 has four beasts.  There are so many to choose from so how did he come up with these?  How did the interpreters identify them?  Jesus gives us a great clue by mentioning the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel.  If you Google ‘abomination of desolation’, Wikipedia shows three possibilities; Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 BC, Titus in 70 AD, and Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan in 691 AD.  The only missing one is Babylon and the first Temple.  So we have Babylon destroying the first Temple, Greece desecrating the second, Rome destroying the second, and Islam preventing the third.  It fits.

A Key 

to open the door to understanding the Apocalypse.  Start with numbers, colors, and Old Testament references.  Numbers and colors do not require interpretation and Old Testament references are reliable clues.  The bow in Revelation 6:2 is not a weapon but a covenant like the one in Genesis 9:13 .  This helps to identify the rider of the white horse.
