A Fit With Daniel
based on the “ten horns”. The two beasts of the Apocalypse are the last two beasts of Daniel. Numbers and history are used to identify the fourth beast of Daniel. History clearly shows the ten dynasties of Islam made war with the saints. The Ottoman Empire, the tenth dynasty of Islam ended a thousand year Christian empire, the Byzantine Empire. It’s a fit.

A Little Horn
in Daniel. Another fit with history that can’t be denied. Not proof but a fit. A better fit, if found, should be presented. Both John (the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings) and Daniel (the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings) tell us horns are kings. A dynasty has kings and Islam had ten dynasties named by Islam. Saladin, before whom there were three of the first horns, came out of the fourth dynasty and started the fifth. A fit with numbers.

A Necessary Ingredient
along with numbers can help us interpret the Apocalypse. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy. Only numbers can prevent us from misinterpreting prophecy. We can’t be sure what a ‘horn’ is but we can be sure there are ‘ten’ of them. We can also be sure that the “ten horns” of Daniel are the same “ten horns” of the Apocalypse. They have to fit history.

A Connection
to the Apocalypse with the “ten horns” of the beast but to identify this beast, it must fit with the other parts of both Daniel and the Apocalypse. Start with the Dome of the Rock which can be considered the abomination of desolation in that it is preventing the third Temple. It was built by the King of the North, Muawiyah, who can easily be connected with the King of the South, Mohammed, and his daughter, Fatimah. – Daniel 11:6 –

A Big Number
and a good place to start. There is only one empire that lasted a thousand years and it was a Christian empire where they reigned with Christ. They were gathered in His name so they were with Christ and those who were reigning reigned with Christ. It was the Byzantine Empire and it can be connected to another big number. – 666 –

A Key
to understanding the Apocalypse. No interpretation required. Only history can fulfill prophecy and numbers are the only way to get historical events to fit with what has been prophesied. All the numbers, not just a few, must fit a historical scenario.

A Fourth Beast
with ten horns. The Dome of the Rock is preventing the third Temple and is considered to be the abomination of desolation so Islam must also be considered a beast by Daniel. The ten dynasties of Islam are also a good fit. Numbers do not require interpretation.

A Beast
according to Daniel. Babylon, Media, Greece, and Rome are the usual suspects. Why Media? Babylon, Greece, and Rome had something to do with the Temple but not Media. It is easy to see why messing with the Temple might make you a beast. The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel is a good clue. So we need a fourth beast with ten horns to replace Media.

A Connection With Daniel
that will improve our understanding of the Apocalypse. A bible search for “ten horns” ties the fourth beast of Daniel to the second beast of John. Beasts are a significant part of both Daniel and the Apocalypse so Daniel is the place to go to understand what makes a beast a beast.

A Strange Beginning
in the Apocalypse. Why is John mentioned three times? Has anyone addressed this in a reasonable way? Could they actually be three different people all named John? Victorinus and Eusebius gives us reason to believe that. Victorinus in his commentary doesn’t mention Antipas or the seven churches. He does mention the seven churches Paul wrote to. Eusebius doesn’t mention Antipas. He does mention six of the seven churches but doesn’t associate them with the Apocalypse. Both may be looking at the first version written by John the Baptist.
