A Holy Place
spoken of by Jesus. The Dome of the Rock is now in the holy place and it is just one of the three possibilities for the abomination of desolation you will find in Wikipedia. The other two are Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 BC and Titus in 70 AD. All three involve the Temple in some way. The destruction of the first Temple by Babylon should be added to this to suggest what makes a beast a beast. The Temple?

A Dynasty
is just a theory for some exegists who have attempted to interpret the Apocalypse. Does it work? Only if you can count dynasties that have attacked the whore. I can’t so I look to others who can. Islam can. The tenth dynasty of Islam destroyed the whore. The second one was the first one to attack her and it built the Dome of the Rock, the abomination of desolation. Time to look at Daniel already connected with “ten horns”.

A Connection
with common words. Now that chapters 9, 11, 17, and 20 are connected with the bottomless pit, we can connect the beast that comes out of the pit with Daniel and other chapters of the Apocalypse. Just look for “ten horns”. This is a major connection and very helpful in identifying the ten horns. First we have to look at the whore who is hated by the ten horns.

A Number
as big as one thousand. There is really only one. The Byzantine Empire was a Christian empire where they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. It is easy to find and hard to ignore. What can we learn about this bottomless pit? Where can it be found?

A Significant Case
in that they don’t require interpretation. Numbers can be translated precisely. There is one notable exception. Some translator at some point in time decided that for some reason 616 made more sense than 666. Just think about that for a moment. This is not the first time or the only time some translator decided what made more sense. Who can you trust? What can you trust?

A Scary Word
no matter who does it for you. It has been done for you. Even the translators interpreted the Greek word as well as the English word that you are reading. Were they inspired by God? All sixty English translations could not have been because they are all significantly different. Who can you trust? What can you trust?

A Break
that will end my 173 day streak. Hopefully it will be inspiring or a least a time for thinking, reflecting, meditating, or what some might call a retreat from the norm. A good thing.

A Reliable Method
for interpreting prophecy if not the only reliable method. Only history can verify the fulfillment of prophecy and only numbers can reliably identify the valid historical events.

A Summary
of historical events that seem to fit. The thousand years is the Byzantine Empire and Constantinople its capital is Babylon the Great. The seven heads are the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire and the ten horns are the ten Islamic dynasties. Big pieces that fit.
