a beast in the making 

A Temple – 

A beast in the eyes of Daniel. Babylon destroyed the first Temple. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. What is preventing the third? The Dome of the Rock. Enter Islam, the fourth beast of Daniel and the second beast of the Apocalypse. It has ten horns and they shall hate the whore.

a day that is ideal 

A Coffee Pot – 

A chocolate chip cookie. Reading dailyprompts. Two steamed eggs. A dawn bike ride. A trip to Walmart before sunrise. In the rocking chair on the patio with a beer. Tuesday two dollar margaritas at my favorite Mexican restaurant. It doesn’t take much to make my day.

a translator 

A Bible – 

A version of each translation.  Before the printer, no two bibles were alike.  Now no two translations are alike.  And there are way too many.  About 60 English translations.  Each translation has more than one version.  So the “Word of God” is subject to translations, revisions, and interpretation.  For the most part they agree on numbers.  And colors.

a beast with seven heads 

A Roman Empire With Seven Dynasties – 

A question for AI. Just ask him. Did the Roman Empire have seven dynasties? He will say no but will then give a list of seven. Did Newton suggest horns were dynasties?  He did and they are named by Islamic Art. The Byzantine Empire, a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years, started with the seven dynasties of Rome and ended with the ten dynasties of Islam. Its capital, Constantinople was attacked by Islam in 666. There you have all the key numbers.
