A Temple –
A revelation in Daniel. What makes a beast a beast? Daniel knows beasts and abominations. Jesus wanted us to pay attention to them. An abomination is something that you do to the holy place. The Temple. Only a beast would mess with the Temple. With only two Temples, how do you get four beasts?

A Revelation –
A purpose was to prepare the way for the first coming. John the Baptist was to introduce the Lamb of God to the world. The word “lamb” can be found 27 times in the Apocalypse. “Jesus” only 12 times. The word “Jesus” could have been added later by John the Apostle who knows John the Baptist knows the Lamb of God.

A Meaning –
A sense of guilt may lead to a fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom. For many unavoidable guilt leads to social justice which is a poor substitute.

A Christian Empire –
A reign with Christ. The Byzantine Empire was a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. They reigned with Christ. This is where to start. Will the other numbers fit? 666, ten, seven, etc. Daniel can help us with “ten horns”. The fourth beast of Daniel is the second beast of John. What do we know about beasts? What makes a beast a beast?

A Him Or An It –
A translation problem. Can you find the beast if you are looking for a “him” instead of an “it”? In Revelation 13:1: 20 have “his horns”, 20 have “its horns”, 15 have “It had ten horns” . We need Daniel 7:7 to clear this up. “It had ten horns” is a clear winner. You need to look for an “it” and not a “him” to find the beast. It makes a difference.

A Number in Daniel –
A key to understanding the Apocalypse. John knows Daniel and Daniel knows the number of years. The numbers John uses have been preserved in nearly all of the bible translations. They can be trusted in identifying historical events that might be a fulfillment of prophecy. Not just one number but all the numbers must fit. And colors.

A Prince –
A general or other? Good luck if you are looking for the king of the north. The translators can’t agree on Daniel 11:5. 24 think he was a prince and 28 think he was anything but a prince. princes 24, commanders 11, officers 7, officials 5, generals 2, leaders 2, subordinates 1 – Go figure. Who can you trust? What can you trust? Numbers and history.
