It would take me to change my method of interpreting Scripture to come to the conclusion you have that the Dome of the Rock is the abomination of desolation spoken of by Christ and Daniel. And I don't see that happening.
As I said, my views are based upon the Dispensational method of interpreting Scripture. I am Premillennial and Pre-Trib. I hold to the literal method of interpreting Scripture.
So, what is your basis of interpreting Scripture?
Also, what is a 'week' in (Dan. 9:24-27) How long is a 'week'? What is 'the midst of the week' in (Dan. 9:27)? Why does Jesus put the abomination of desolation in the middle of the week as Daniel did also. (Matt. 24:15) If 3 and 1/2 plus 3 and 1/2 equals 7, why isn't the tribulation 7 years in length? (Dan. 9:27)
The temple must exist during the Tribulation for the abomination to be set up. It must also be destroyed during the Tribulation in order for the Millennial temple to be built. (Ez. 40-48) Do you agree?

I never said the Dome of the Rock was the abomination, but it is who the Muslims give it over to as being the son of perdition who will take his seat there on the very Temple Mount of God, meaning Holy ground.
I know you are pretrib even though Christ never taught this theory.
My basis is that I need not interpret scripture, but to give that which has already been spoken by God and also learning the history of the seven remaining nations described as four beasts in Daniel 7:1-8 and the three kingdoms that were subdued by the little horn. Beginning with the Babylonian Empire we have seen history repeat itself throughout the four Empires as during its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed at least twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times.
This will happen once more in Jerusalem in the end of days, but this time of the revived Roman Empire, whose wound was healed in 1929, every nation on every continent will be affected by this Luciferian ruling power that gives power to the beast out of the earth who is the son of perdition that will reign terror as once again persecuting Christians to death for 3 1/2 years. Then will Christ return on the last day and destroy this beast out of the sea and the beast out of the earth by the brightness of His coming casting them alive into the lake of fire.
God speaks to us in scripture of a 3 1/2 year tribulation during the time of the seventh trumpet sounding, not a seven year tribulation, as being time, times and half time which equals 1260 days = 3 ½ years or 3 ½ Times – Hebrew calendar only had 30 days for each month and this is where you get 1260 days or 3 ½ years.
[Scripture reference]
Revelation 12:14; Daniel 7:25; Daniel 12:7
1260 days – Revelation 11:3; Revelation 12:6
42 months – Revelation 11:2; Revelation 13:5
No where in scripture does it mention a seven year tribulation, but only seven trumpets of God's great wrath as scripture says we will always have tribulations as the last time will be such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be, Matthew 24:21; Deut 4:30; 7:19; 29:1-6; 1 Samuel 26:24; Matthew; John 16:33; Romans 12:12; 24:21; James 1:2; 1 Peter 1:6.
Daniel 9:24-27 the Vision of the Seventy Weeks
Vs. 24 this verse shows us that the timing from Ezra to the cross was 490 days (490 Prophetic years) as within that time Ezra was reestablishing the law in Jerusalem until Jesus had fulfilled the end of transgression, made an end to sin, made reconciliation for iniquity and bring everlasting righteousness and to seal up the prophecy to fulfill parts of the law through the cross.
Vs. 25 from the time of the cross, which also means the last days, which includes what some like to separate and call “The Great Tribulation”, which is not mentioned anywhere in scripture and is not a separate event after the elect of God are caught up, but as the last days so we are in tribulation times until the end of the world as we know it, Acts 2:17; Hebrews 1:1,2; Matthew 24:4-31; Mark 13:24-31; Luke 21:5-36. These are just some of the scriptures that support that we will go through all things of Rev Chapter 6-21. Everyone will have opportunity to come unto salvation through Jesus Christ if they would only believe until the door of salvation is closed when Jesus calls us and we meet him in the clouds, which after this time no one can be saved, Matthew 25:10.
Vs.26 after 434 years that end in the year AD29 shall Messiah be cut off. Jesus was crucified after he was baptized in AD 29 three and a half years later. Jesus was cut off (killed) by the people of the Romans under Vespasian their prince that the Pharisees, Sanhedrin and the high priest who have favor with that destroy the city and the sanctuary (meaning Christ) and the end thereof shall be with a flood (Gods wrath) that will put an end to abominations by desolation or in other words a ruin to evil deeds. Daniel 9:27 explains the definitions of desolation of abominations or the ruin of evil deeds. There is no actual Desolations of Abominations where a so called Antichrist (emphasis on the capitol "A") will take a literal throne, but the desolation will be when the son of perdition, being the false prophet/last antichrist, tries to take his throne in Jerusalem, Daniel 11:36-45. Gods’ word never defines one great Antichrist, but says there are many antichrists, 1John2:18; 11 Thessalonians 2:1-12; Revelation 11:7. The seven years that some call the seven year tribulation means three and a half years beginning with the first six seals being the beginning of sorrows (first woe). The last three and a half years starting with the (second woe) with the sounding of the first trumpet and ending with the seventh trumpet that includes everything else written in Revelations that includes the time of Christ return for His Bride in Rev 19 up to the end when Satan is cast into the lake of fire with the beast and the false prophet and ends with the new Jerusalem being ushered down as then we will be with the Lord forever.
Vs.27 the 70th seven began with Christ baptism in AD 29 and three years later at the end of the first half of the 70th seven sacrifices and offering ceased because Christ hung on the cross. From the giving of the law in 458BC when Ezra went to establish the law, or to rebuild the spiritual city right to the cross where the first 69 sevens. The 70th seven is from the time of the cross until Jesus comes back in the air to call his Bride home and for the overspreading of abominations he will make desolate, or make an end to all who would not believe.
