a prince

A Translation Problem –

A commander or another interpretation problem if you are looking for the king of the north. There are eight different words in 52 different translations: princes 24, commanders 10, officers 7, officials 5, generals 2, leaders 2, principalities 1, subordinates 1. The word prince suggests a family member unlike the other seven words which have a similar meaning. Makes you wonder about words used in other parts of the bible. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them. Reader beware.

a beast

A Temple –

A desolation. The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Jesus, leads us to the abomination in Daniel. They shall take away the daily sacrifice. That’s the Temple. The first one was destroyed by Babylon. The second was desecrated by Greece and destroyed by Rome. Islam is preventing the third. That is what makes a beast a beast. Count ’em.

a communication online

A Dumb Phone –

A T9 typing challenge. They just want to know if I’m okay, if I made it home. A pre-recorded text called a template takes care of that. Still must practice typing with only nine keys. Texting is great even if you are not hard of hearing. A small dumb phone for an old man who would never have a smart one.

a daughter

A King of the South –

A king of the north. A fit with Fatimah, Mohammed, and Muawiyah. A fit with Daniel 11:6; the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north. The dynasty started by Muawiyah built the Dome of the Rock which prevents the third temple. It is the abomination of desolation mentioned by Jesus. A fit with Daniel 11:31: the abomination that maketh desolate.

a thousand years

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 memorable 24 hr road trip

A Drive Through The Night –

A car full of teenagers. I was the oldest and the only male. My sister couldn’t come home from college so I got to take our sister, two cousins, and a friend to visit her. That’s four girls. A lot of responsibility for someone so young. It was spring break in Fort Lauderdale and I got into the Elbow Room with someone else’s ID. That’s memorable.

a key to understanding

A Beast of Daniel –

A connection with the Apocalypse. John knows Daniel. Both have a beast with “ten horns” which should fit with history in the same way. This requires a close look at the King of the North and the King of the South. The fourth beast of Daniel was diverse from all the beasts and must show up somewhere in history.

a number of years

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 good snack with coffee

A Chocolate Chip Cookie –

A black coffee with no sugar. A good way to start the day. A good chance to talk about coffee. Colombian coffee without a noisy grinder but with a five dollar, five cup Mr. Coffee maker and distilled water. I have to be careful to leave her two cups. All I need now is something to talk about.

a mystery

A Great City –

A whore hated by the beast with ten horns. Constantinople can be found no more at all. It is a mystery and likely to remain so. It is the only city to satisfy all the characteristics of Babylon the Great: seven hills, many waters, merchants, and is fallen, is fallen. Constantinople is Babylon the Great.
