A Revelation
A purpose was to prepare the way for the first coming. John the Baptist was to introduce the Lamb of God to the world. The word “lamb” can be found 27 times in the Apocalypse. “Jesus” only 12 times. The word “Jesus” could have been added later by John the Apostle who knows John the Baptist knows the Lamb of God.

A Him Or An It
A translation problem. Can you find the beast if you are looking for a “him” instead of an “it”? In Revelation 13:1; 20 have “his horns”, 20 have “its horns”, 15 have “It had ten horns” . We need Daniel 7:7 to clear this up. “it had ten horns” is a clear winner. You need to look for an “it” and not a “him” to find the beast. It makes a difference.

A Prince
A general or other? Good luck if you are looking for the king of the north. The translators can’t agree on Daniel 11:5. 24 think he was a prince and 28 think he was anything but a prince. princes 24, commanders 11, officers 7, officials 5, generals 2, leaders 2, subordinates 1 – Go figure. Who can you trust? What can you trust? Numbers and history.

A Daughter
A king of the north. A fit with Islam. Fatimah, daughter of Mohammed who was king of the south, would have to deal with Muawiyah after he became the king of the north. The Umayyad dynasty, started by Muawiyah, placed the abomination that maketh desolate. The Dome of the Rock. These are fits with Daniel that are a fit with the Apocalypse.

A Great Sword
A rider of the red horse with power to take peace from the earth. He was also given the key of the bottomless pit – Sebeos may have been the first to see Islam as the true fourth beast of Daniel. Others like Tom Holland “In The Shadow of The Sword” would recognize this. There is something about the Temple that makes a beast a beast.

A Temple
A desolation. Babylon destroyed the first temple. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. Islam is preventing the third. The four beasts of Daniel. They all messed with the temple. That is what determines a beast in the mind of Daniel. John seems to agree. Jesus mentioned it. What is in the holy place now?

A Bear a leopard.
A connection with the beasts of Daniel. John knows Daniel knows beasts. Also in common are the ten horns. John’s beast was like a leopard, a bear, and a lion. Daniel is the key to understanding the beasts of the Apocalypse. What do the beasts of Daniel have in common? The Temple. Don’t mess with the Temple.

A Revelation
A book of what is to come. Only history can verify what has been prophesied. History based on numbers. Not on interpretation. You can only trust numbers. Numbers do not have to be interpreted. Start with the big numbers like a thousand and it might lead you to the Byzantine Empire that fits with all the other numbers.

A Premillennialist
A thousand year “Reign of Christ”. They “reigned with Christ” is what is in the bible. That is a big difference. Look for a thousand years where they reigned with Christ. A Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. Like the Byzantine Empire. It’s the only one. Check it out. It fits with the other numbers.

A “Reign Of Christ”
A problem with the bible. The “Reign of Christ” cannot be found in the bible. It will get over six millions hits if you google it. Just another example of how the bible is misinterpreted. Who can you trust? What can you trust? Numbers. Interpretation is unavoidable but you should at least have the numbers to back it up.
