A Lord Buckbeak and Green Jihad –
A top two. They are both outrageously political. I may be their biggest fan. My blog is religious but my political views are stronger. Give unto Caesar. It is our duty.

a holy place
A Dome of the Rock –
A desolation. What is in the holy place now? The Dome of the Rock is preventing the third temple and that makes Islam a beast different from all the others. The “ten horns” are the ten dynasties of Islam. Counted by Islamic sources. The Ottoman Empire, the tenth dynasty, ended the thousand year Christian empire, The Byzantine Empire, in 1453.

a year 666
A Calendar –
A date, a mark, a beginning. A common year 44 BC. The Julian calendar preceded the Gregorian calendar which didn’t start until 1582. The Islamic calendar started in 622 CE and that would be 666 of the Julian calendar which was in effect at that time. The Hegira marks the beginning of Islam.

a lesson I have learned recently
A Shift In My Perspective –
A start of my morning routine without turning the TV on and thinking about the dailyprompt with my coffee. I try to answer the question which seems to be getting more difficult. I do like the silence but it may be preventing my ability to come up with an answer.

A Fit with Daniel 11 –
A fit with the Apocalypse and Matthew:
Mohammed, the king of south
Fatimah, his daughter
Muawiyah, his commander, the king of the north
Abd Allah ibn Mas’ada al-Fazari, a raiser of taxes
Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, placed the abomination that maketh desolate
What is in the holy place now?

a problem with dates
A Historian –
A history of the Roman Empire by Gibbon. Go ahead, pick an Islamic calendar converter and put 46 in it. You get 666. 46 is the number Gibbon used. 46 years after the Hijri year Constantinople was attacked. A date is a mark. Gibbon notes the problems with dates.

a thing I do to improve sleep
A Fasting Four Hours Before –
A brain wash. No food or water. Go to bed on an empty stomach. Blood takes nothing to the brain and removes the trash. As an older person with a bad heart valve, need to rest and nap whenever I can.

a fit with history
A Fit With Numbers –
A thousand year empire starting with the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire and ending with the tenth dynasty of Islam. The first beast, Rome, whose deadly wound was healed was replaced by the second beast Islam. The Byzantine Empire fits with all the numbers you can trust. You can’t trust interpretation of prophecy.

a number
A Year –
A clue from Daniel. John knows Daniel and Daniel knows number of years. Do we know what happened in the year 666? No. We do know that Muawiyah was preparing to attack Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years, where they reigned with Christ. What does Gibbon know?

a hit of 5000 steps today
A Drop Of Achievement Here –
A morning bike ride replaces walking for old people. Flexing unloaded joints is better. The air is cleaner and cooler. A local mall has just enough light to keep things from running into each other. A good start.
