a prophecy
A Revelation –
A testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is he that readeth. Augustine read it. “Why then read it if only to keep silence about it?” Understanding it is a challenge. You may not have time for this. You may not have that much time. It’s later than you think. You may need help understanding it. Ask for it.

a desolation
A Holy Place –
A daily sacrifice shall be taken away. What is in the Holy Place now? Daniel has three references to abomination. The first is “he” and most agree he was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The second is “they” shall place the abomination which is a better fit with the Dome of the Rock that is preventing the daily sacrifice.

a time for beauty
A Time Not lost –
A search for truth. A search for what is beautiful will lead you to truth. It will set you free. It will make you happy.
a will
A Test –
A purpose for what we are experiencing. What will we do with our will? It must be free but not without consequences. Suffering is a necessary ingredient. How will you react to it? You will need help and you will get it if you ask for it. Can you believe that? You have to believe. Hope will lead you. You have to want this.

a little horn
A Caliph –
A sultan, and a perfect fit with Saladin if you know how to count caliphates, sultanates, or dynasties and can tell the difference. Islam can and they counted ten as in ten horns and they shall hate the whore. A connection between Daniel and the Apocalypse. A little horn reinforces the belief that horns are dynasties.

a problem
A Question Why –
A difficult answer. Hate. It is ugly. Truth is beautiful. That is how you will know it. Instead of looking for truth, just look for what is beautiful. It will lead you to the truth.
a reason to believe
A Home For Doubt –
A necessary explanation for what we experience. We have to make sense of it. To ignore it is to deny reality. To deny objectivity. Call it speculation, conjecture, or whatever but please accept the fact that there must be a reason, a purpose, a meaning, etc. At least ask the question why. There may be a reasonable explanation.

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 certainty
A Trust –
A reason, meaning, and purpose. A God. Life is good. A family is Their Image. A test of free will. Only a good tree can bear good fruit. Only a good worker will accomplish good works. Faith alone is dead.
