a commander 

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 beast 

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.
