Here are some timelines:
Lets me briefly go over the 1290 days because of your objections. Daniel 12:11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days." This happened in 583 BC, so lets take the 1290 days and follow the same guidelines Ive been using and convert them into solar years. 1290 x .9857 = 1271.553. If we don't round the number off this takes us to 688.553 and like I said before I'm counting the starting year 583 BC as a year, I have no good reason not to.
Now you may disagree with me about the length of a common ancient Hebrew year but I am using evidence from the Bible to define it as 360 days. The book of Daniel makes it very clear that it would not be understood until the time of the end as brought out clearly in Daniel 12:4 and 12:9. If there wasn't more to it than what Daniel knew regarding a year why couldn't he figure it out after all its pretty simple math. And Daniel was very well versed he knew of the day for a year principle. He was very familiar with the levitical code and of the progression of sevens. Why is it to hard to believe that 69 shavium would be 69 x 7 and then use the principle of a day for a year as used in previous punishments, give me one good reason not to think that is reasonable. A year has always been defined as 12 months, yes some years had intercalary month but that was not a typical year. When these things are to be understood we are looking back and have the exact knowledge of the length of a year why is it so absurd to convert them, especially when you see the result. As far as the 42 months in Revelation when it was written they were under the Julian calender which was 365.25 days. Honestly if you use 365.25 or 365.24 it doesn't make much of a difference at all in the timeline. 42 months is three and a half years as was defined at the time it was written, there is no confusion regarding that.
So 3.5 years times 365.24 = 1278.34.... 1967 AD - 1278.34= 688.66 AD. One more thing you might want to take into consideration is that where the dome of the rock sits is where the court of the gentiles was and it is measured out in Revelation 11:2 where it says " But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months."
OK let me give you another timeline from revelation that has no conversion factor at all. In revelation 12:6 it says "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days." Israel is that woman and up until 688 AD Christians and Jews could worship freely. After 688 when Muslims took control they had to run for their lives and fled into the nations. 688 AD plus 1260 years = 1948 AD when Israel became a nation and were no longer in the wilderness.
And regarding the 70th week I didn't finish what I was talking about because the 70th week is more about what happened in the middle of the week. lets do that one more time a shavua is a jubilee year and 360 days times 7 = 2520. We convert that to solar years and get 2483.964 lets just call it 2484. . From the Decree Of Cyrus in 536 BC to 1948 is 2484 years. Daniel 9:27 says "And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate." Notice how it says for the overspreading of abominations plural. The middle of that week would be 1242 years half of 2484 years. From 536 BC to 706 AD when the Al-Asqa mosque was completed was 1242 years. 1242 years after that in 1948 Israel became a nation.
The 1290 days leads up to the beginning of the construction of the Dome Of The Rock in 688 AD and the middle of the 70th week brings us to the completion of the Al-Asqa mosque 706AD.
The construction of the Dome Of The Rock started in 688 AD, some disagree and put it earlier than that and some put it later but there is more evidence for 688AD than any other date. If you disagree please give me your source.
And Im not catholic!!!!
