A Problem With The Temple
A beast of Daniel is “diverse from all the beasts”. What makes a beast of Daniel diverse? The Temple. Jesus called it the “abomination of desolation”. So what is in the “holy place” now? The Dome of the Rock. Don’t mess with the Temple. We know about the moneychangers. Don’t mess with His Church.
A Fit With Daniel
A connection with “ten horns”. John knows Daniel who knows beasts. The beasts of John are the last two beasts of Daniel. All four beasts of Daniel had something to do with the Temple. Babylon destroyed the first one. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. Islam is preventing the third.
A Fit with Daniel
A horn is a dynasty and before whom there were three of the first horns. Saladin came out of the Fatimid Caliphate, the fourth of ten Islamic dynasties, and would start the fifth, the Ayyubid dynasty. We also have the Battle of the Horns of Hama and the Battle of the Horns of Hattin. Both involved Saladin. He not only beat the crusaders, he beat Richard the Lionheart. It’s a fit.

A Dynasty
A number that fits with history. Good luck with counting kings. Way too many. Dynasties not so much. Most historians get exactly seven. Most agree the Roman Empire was a beast of Daniel but aren’t aware that it had seven dynasties nor are they aware of ten dynasties to go with the “ten horns” of Daniel.
A Word of God
A test of your bible. Does it have the word ‘test’? If not, do you know what you are doing here? You are being tested. From a bible that does contain the word ‘test’, you are being refined, purified, and tested. Those with insight shall understand. Words have meaning and they can be mistranslated.

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 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 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.

A sign of the times. But “the wise shall understand.” Has God “revealed it unto thee”? Have you asked for it? Did you seek it? Hope, wanting, can lead you to Faith and Charity. John was told to “seal not” the prophecy of his book. So it can be known. Your knowledge can increase.
A Year
A clue from Daniel. John knows Daniel and Daniel knows number of years. Do we know what happened in the year 666? No. We do know that Muawiyah was preparing to attack Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years, where they reigned with Christ. What does Gibbon know?
