   Importance Of The Year 677 A.D.   
   The Umayyad Caliphate   
   677 A.D. Capital moves to Damascus (By Israel) from Medina (Muhammad's   
   Arabia). Caliph Mu’awiya I established Arab aristocratic government   
   there at Damascus.   
      
   MU’AWIYA I (661 A.D. – 680 A.D.), THE FOUNDER OF THE UMAYYAD DYNASTY.   
      
   Mu’awiya established the first Arab-Islamic dynasty, with its capital   
   at Damascus. He rested his state on the support of the Arab tribes,   
   gathering around him a circle of tribal chieftains with whom he   
   consulted regularly. While he ruled as a caliph, opponents defined his   
   regime as a form of kingship (mulk), an un-Islamic departure from the   
   precedent of the Rashidun caliphs.   
   Mu’awiya founded a decentralized state in which local governors,   
   particularly in the most troublesome province of Iraq, were given free   
   rein to collect taxes and punish rebels. The day-to-day administration   
   of each province continued to be run by Byzantine and Sassanid   
   bureaucrats who maintained pre-Islamic governmental divisions (diwans)   
   and conducted official business in Greek and Pahlavi.   
      
   At the Death of Muhammad in 632 A.D. He had pushed South, East, and   
   North toward the Pleasant Land from Medina, so that all his Empire   
   thus far, he had conquered all of Arabia and then other Caliph's took   
   over. Then under the next four Caliph's The Arab and Muslim Empire   
   pushed farther east to Persia, west to Egypt, and north to part of   
   Antonia, conquering Israel on the way. But in "The Year 677 A.D."   
   under Caliph Mu’awiya I (661 A.D. – 680 A.D.) He moves the Capital to   
   Damascus and established the Arab aristocratic government there.   
   Caliph Mu’awiya I was the founder of the Umayyad Dynasty.   
      
   The capital at Damascus placed the leader (Caliph or Caliphate) of the   
   false god Allah right on top of Jerusalem. Caliph Mu’awiya I himself,   
   may have personally stood upon the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and   
   blasphemed against Jehovah, The God Of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? He   
   may have started building an unholy shrine of some kind to the false   
   god Allah before the Dome of The Rock was built. Or he may even have   
   laid the first stone or so that caused the construction of the   
   Abomination Of Desolation (Dome Of The Rock).   
      
   This is a possiblity of the 677 A.D. date on the Daniel Page. Although   
   there could still be something else yet that has not been revealed to   
   me to write it here.

   The Dome Of The Rock Built In 690 A.D.

   Thank you Nick for your email. Quite interesting, however, everything   
   I can find shows the erection date different than 677 AD… closer to 10   
   years later.   
      
      
   Added Note:Interesting to note wasn't the camp David accord signed   
   with Egypt in 1977  687+1290=1977   
      
   687+1335=2022=Christ's return?
