a he or an it
A Translation Issue –
A beast. Your bible could have as many as 296 beasts or as few as 87. There are 20 translations that consider the beast in Revelation 13:1 a ‘he’ and 37 translations call it an ‘it’. This is a significant difference. Daniel 7:7 can help us here. The fourth beast is an it in all 52 translations. It has ten horns just like the beast in Revelation.

A Friend For Christianity –
A bow, a covenant between God and man. Constantine from the Aegean or Mediterranean Sea aka the white sea. He started a Christian empire where they would reign with Christ a thousand years. The Byzantine Empire is the place to start fitting history with prophecy with a thousand years. A literal thousand years.

A Big Problem –
A word can be misleading 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. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them.

A Threat to Christianity –
A great sword to take peace from the earth. Mohammed from the Red Sea is the rider and the founder of the beast of Islam. Christianity is not the only religion threatened by this beast. The history of Islam clearly demonstrates this. Islam is not the only threat to Christians. See a black horse.

a first time you really felt like a grown up
A Great Question –
A second grade situation. My sister was in kindergarten and for some reason a nun asked me to walk her home which was almost a mile. I had two older brothers in school and don’t know why they weren’t asked. On the way a car stopped to offer us a ride. My sister ran from the car. I hesitated to see if I could recognize the driver and ran toward my sister when I didn’t.

When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
a king of the north
A Fit With Daniel –
A king of the south, Mohammed, and his daughter, Fatimah, along with one of his commanders, Muawiyah, who will become even stronger is a good fit with Daniel. Some of the bibles use the word princes (25) instead of the more believable words like commanders (11) as we shall see in a following post.

A Threat to Christianity –
A balanced approach to society sounds good at first but somehow it makes religion the enemy. It is the opium of the people but “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” is what Jesus would expect and that would require a pair of balances, but why is religion the enemy?

a million dollars to give away
A Recipient To Receive It –
A charity that is not involved with social justice. Is it possible? I think not. A credit union may be the best way to get money to those who need it but are not just looking for a handout. I would give it to those who won’t just give it away but will loan it to those who need it.

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
a holy place
A Desolation –
A third temple has not happened and will not happen. Not one stone here will be left upon another. Daniel has three references to the abomination. The first one is Antiochus IV and he shall make it desolate. The second is the Umayyad dynasty and they shall place the Dome of the Rock which now stands in the holy place preventing the daily sacrifice.
