a beast in the making 

A Connection With Daniel 

A common beast with “ten horns”.  John knows Daniel and Daniel knows beasts.  What makes a beast a beast?  The Temple.  Don’t mess with the Temple.  Babylon destroyed the first Temple.  Greece desecrated the second that was destroyed by Rome.  Islam is preventing the third with the Dome of the Rock.

A Beast That Is To Come 

A beginning and an end to a thousand year empire.  The Byzantine Empire.  It started with the Roman Empire that had seven dynasties and ended with the Ottoman Empire that had ten dynasties.  A good fit but this requires an understanding of what makes a beast a beast and only Daniel can help us with this problem.

a mystery 

A Babylon The Great 

A capital of a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years.  Constantinople alone has all the characteristics:  many waters 17:1, mystery 17:5, seven hills 17:9, trade 18:11, it has fallen, fallen 18:2, and it can be found no more at all 18:21.  Does it have seven heads and ten horns?  We shall see.

a question 

A Time 

A writer.  It was written by John on Patmos.  Don’t know when or which John.  Are there three of them?  Why does John introduce himself three or four times?  These questions have not been answered so we are forced to speculate based on what was written by those who read what no longer exists.  What were they looking at?
