A Cat Is Next –
A bird cleans up the mess. Cats take care of the rats. Both are necessary.

A Fit with Daniel –
A horn is a dynasty and before whom there were three of the first horns. Saladin came out of the Fatimid Caliphate, the fourth of ten Islamic dynasties, and would start the fifth, the Ayyubid dynasty. We also have the Battle of the Horns of Hama and the Battle of the Horns of Hattin. Both involved Saladin. He not only beat the crusaders, he beat Richard the Lionheart. It’s a fit.

a reason to believe
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 may be a reasonable explanation.

a test
A Word of God –
A test of your bible. Does it have the word ‘test’? If not, do you know what you are doing here? You are being tested. From a bible that does contain the word ‘test’, you are being refined, purified, and tested. Those with insight shall understand. Words have meaning and they can be mistranslated.

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 he or an it
A Translation Issue –
A beast. Your bible could have as many as 296 beasts or as few as 87. There are 20 translations that consider the beast in Revelation 13:1 a ‘he’ and 37 translations call it an ‘it’. This is a significant difference. Daniel 7:7 can help us here. The fourth beast is an it in all 52 translations. It has ten horns just like the beast in Revelation.

a white horse
A Friend For Christianity –
A bow, a covenant between God and man. Constantine from the Aegean or Mediterranean Sea aka the white sea. He started a Christian empire where they would reign with Christ a thousand years. The Byzantine Empire is the place to start fitting history with prophecy with a thousand years. A literal thousand years.

a translation
A Big Problem –
A word can be misleading 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. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them.

a red horse
A Threat to Christianity –
A great sword to take peace from the earth. Mohammed from the Red Sea is the rider and the founder of the beast of Islam. Christianity is not the only religion threatened by this beast. The history of Islam clearly demonstrates this. Islam is not the only threat to Christians. See a black horse.

a king of the north
A Fit With Daniel –
A king of the south, Mohammed, and his daughter, Fatimah, along with one of his commanders, Muawiyah, who will become even stronger is a good fit with Daniel. Some of the bibles use the word princes (25) instead of the more believable words like commanders (11) as we shall see in a following post.
