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 Temple – 

A desolation.  Babylon destroyed the first temple.  Greece desecrated the second.  Rome destroyed the second.  Islam is preventing the third.  The four beasts of Daniel.  They all messed with the temple.  That is what determines a beast in the mind of Daniel.  John seems to agree.  Jesus mentioned it.  What is in the holy place now?  The Dome of the Rock.

a prophecy repeated 

A Little Book To Eat – 

A command to prophesy again.  Why would John eat a little book?  To get it into the bible.  It is in the bible because certain key players believed it was written by the Apostle.  So who wrote the little book that John ate?  The Baptist.  He was preparing the way for  Lamb. The ‘Lamb’ can be found 27 times in the Apocalypse. “Bare record” can be found five times in the bible.
