A Holy Place –
A daily sacrifice shall be taken away. What is in the Holy Place now? Daniel has three references to abomination. The first is “he” and most agree he was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The second is “they” shall place the abomination which is a better fit with the Dome of the Rock that is preventing the daily sacrifice.

A Savings Account –
A teenager who saved. Two older brothers who didn’t and would have to borrow from me about early spring. My approach to budgeting is very simple, just save as much as you can. Borrowed only for school, car, and home. Others would have to borrow from me.
A Test –
A purpose for what we are experiencing. What will we do with our will? It must be free but not without consequences. Suffering is a necessary ingredient. How will you react to it? You will need help and you will get it if you ask for it. Can you believe that? You have to believe. Hope will lead you. You have to want this.

A Caliph –
A sultan, and a perfect fit with Saladin if you know how to count caliphates, sultanates, or dynasties and can tell the difference. Islam can and they counted ten as in ten horns and they shall hate the whore. A connection between Daniel and the Apocalypse. A little horn reinforces the belief that horns are dynasties.

A Love Of Country –
A third place. Right after God and family. “Render unto Caesar...” Your second obligation, right after God is your family which needs a father and a mother to protect the child. You can’t trust the village or Marx. If you are not a patriot, you are a wannabe immigrant who has given up.
A Home For Doubt –
A necessary explanation for what we experience. We have to make sense of it. To ignore it is to deny reality. To deny objectivity. Call it speculation, conjecture, or whatever but please accept the fact that there must be a reason, a purpose, a meaning, etc. At least ask the question why. There must be a reasonable explanation.

A Translation Problem –
A commander or another interpretation problem 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. The word prince suggests a family member unlike the other seven words which have a similar meaning. Makes you wonder about words used in other parts of the bible. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them. Reader beware.

A Love Of Neighbor –
A gift of Charity is required, I think. It is a test you know you are going to unintentionally fail. You can’t love whom you can’t forgive which is required to be forgiven, I think. You can always ask for the gift of Charity.
A Number –
A connection between history and prophecy that can be trusted. Your interpretation? Not so much. Your translation? Not so much except for numbers and colors. Somehow they have survived what translators do to the Word of God. Some things are sacred. There are 60 different English translations to choose from. Which one do you trust?

A King of the South –
A king of the north. A fit with Fatimah, Mohammed, and Muawiyah. A fit with Daniel 11:6; the king’s daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north. The dynasty started by Muawiyah built the Dome of the Rock which prevents the third temple. It is the abomination of desolation mentioned by Jesus. A fit with Daniel 11:31: the abomination that maketh desolate.
