A Holding Most Dear –
A computer. A link to the world. I love links. Especially hot links. Connecting the dots with links. A dialogue with like minded individuals. Questions and answers. Let’s talk.

a fourth beast of Daniel
A Common Beast –
A second beast of the Apocalypse. John knows Daniel knows beasts. The beast which he saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. The “ten horns” also ties them together. Numbers tie history to the fulfillment of prophecy.

a whore
A Great City –
A capital of an empire that lasted a thousand years. Constantinople is Babylon the Great. The Byzantine Empire lasted a thousand years and its capital was Constantinople. At the start there were the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. At the end there was the tenth dynasty of Islam. All the pieces fit.

a collection of books
A Reason To Doubt –
A healthy distrust of our leaders. Watergate. Question everything and everyone. The search for Truth starts with doubt. Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Don’t forget to knock.
a little horn
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. Connected with numbers.

a legacy to leave behind
A Something To Be Remembered For –
A project started. A new interpretation of the Apocalypse based on numbers and colors. What I leave is not a book but a number of posts on WordPress that may lead others around the world to a new understanding of the last book in the bible.
a king of the south
A Daughter –
A king of the north, a fit with history. Mohammed, the king of the south, and his daughter, Fatimah, along with Muawiyah, the king of the north are a perfect fit with Daniel 11. The abomination of desolation, the Dome of the Rock, was built by the Umayyad dynasty started by Muawiyah.

a third revelation
A Brother on Patmos –
A third John who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate that included the Apocalypse. At the time it was not clear if it would be. Jerome had to be convinced that it was written by the Apostle. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops at the beginning of the fifth century.

a feeling about cold weather?
A Thought Might Be Better –
A senior citizen prefers hot. Even though you can always put an extra layer on when it is cold, hot is better but I do miss the snow which is quiet. Our heat pump must work harder when it is cold.
a thousand years
A Christian Empire –
A time when they reigned with Christ. The Byzantine Empire was the only Christian empire to last a thousand years. Its capital, Constantinople, has all the characteristics of Babylon the Great. No other city has them and can be found no more at all. It is a mystery and likely to remain so.
