A Holy Place 

spoken of by Jesus.  The Dome of the Rock is now in the holy place and it is just one of the three possibilities for the abomination of desolation you will find in Wikipedia.  The other two are Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 BC and  Titus in 70 AD.  All three involve the Temple in some way.  The destruction of the first Temple by Babylon should be added to this to suggest what makes a beast a beast.  The Temple?  

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

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.
