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.

there shall be

A Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Days 

from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up.  Daniel 12:11 may be the key to understanding the abomination spoken of by Jesus.  Historians have had a lot of trouble with dates but if you add the first temple destruction date 587 BC to the build date of the Dome of the Rock 691 AD, you get 1278.  That is close enough for serious consideration.

in Daniel

A King of the South 

and his daughter that fits with the king of the north and the Apocalypse.  The king of the south is Mohammed and his daughter is Fatimah. The king of the north is Muawiyah who was one of Mohammed’s commanders, not princes as some translations would have it.  This was the beginning of the Umayyad Caliphate, a dynasty that placed the abomination.

Daniel

A Key

 to unlock the door to understanding the Apocalypse.  They are connected.  You can’t solve one without solving the other.  The abomination of desolation and the attack on Constantinople in 666 point to Islam.  To make it fit we need to identify the “ten horns” and while were at it, let’s see if we can identify the “king of the north” and the “king of the south”.

A Holy Place

 in Daniel spoken of by Jesus.  Not there but the abomination of desolation is.  Three times.  Which one is Jesus talking about?  What is standing in the holy place?  Is it an it or a person?  There is little agreement here.  Wikipedia has three possibilities to consider:  Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 BC, Titus in 70 AD, and the Dome of the Rock by the Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan in 691 AD.  The last one is with us today.  This is the one we need to consider.

a beast is a beast is

A Beast

 is a beast.  That is four.  Daniel had four.  John had two but they had “ten horns” in common.  So what makes a beast a beast?  Only Daniel can tell us that.  Most agree on Babylon, Greece, and Rome.  What do they have in common?  The Temple.  The first destroyed the first.  The second desecrated the second.  The third destroyed the second.  The fourth must be preventing the third.  That would be the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.  So what is in the holy place now?
