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. 
Watch for more pieces that fit.  Blessed is the one who looks.

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?  
Watch for more pieces that fit.  Blessed is the one who looks.
