Called by Daniel the "Abomination of Desolation" (loathsome thing), this structure was stated in Dan. 11 and 12 to stand until the indignation (wrath) of God against Israel for its sins was over, but that was to end in 1290 or 1335 years from the construction of same in 691. Thus, its fall is up in 1981 or in 2026, and I think the 1981 date referred to the finding of the Ark in that year...

If its 1335 years from the date it was set up, 691, I think we need to do a little math to come to the right number of 365.25 day years

Since the year in the Bible is one of 360 days, and ours is 365.25 days....... 1335 X 360 = 480600 days......divided by 365.25 = 1315.8

Add 1315.8 to 691 and you get 2006.8 give or take a few months......That would put us pretty close to the beginning of the end.

The 1290 day mark would have been around 1962- anything happen then?

Personally I do not buy the adjustments you are making, thus I believe the days at the end of Daniel do reach 1981 and 2026 respectively. They may also reach other points, from other starting points, with respect to other prophetic and eschatological fulfillments than the one being pursued here.

BTW others sometimes adjust to 364 days, not your 360, since that was used by the Essenes in antiquity, having exactly 52 weeks and thus 4 quarters of 13 Sabbaths each...

But hey, I hope you are right, for if so then I might be able to live to see it all work out!
