It is possible that the Dome of the Rock is in fact the abomination of desolation as it blasphemes both teh Father and the Son, It is set in the Holy Place and God's people did flee before their enemies. Using the day year idea we have in daniel you can place the construction of the dome about 688 AD. When you at to that 1260 years you come to 1948 which may well be the fulfillment of the times of the gentiles over jerusalem. Daniel speaks of 1290 and also 1335. 1290 puts us at the Camp David peace accords in 1978 which many seem to overlook. 1335 puts us at 2023 where we are right now. Blessed are those that made it here. Daniel clearly shows that the antichrist system comes from the west, invades the mideast and presses on through with rumors north and east where it meets its end. One can look at desert storm, shock and awe, the west's desire to spread liberal democracy throughout the globe now in confrontation with two nuclear armed super powers. If nuke war, along with biowarfare were in fact to issue in the great tribulation tribulation we are in that 2030 framework. We may soon see. Also libya, syria, egypt sudan and others all play into this. Once again I urge all to carefully keep an eye on Charles in england.
Some really good thoughts here. Lot's to consider. Thanks!
