in Daniel

A Test – 

a word not found is some bible translations.  A key word that explains what we are doing here.  The NABRE is the only version that has it.  TEST.  We are being tested.  We have free will.  It must be tested.

A Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety Days 

from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up.  Daniel 12:11 may be the key to understanding the abomination spoken of by Jesus.  Historians have had a lot of trouble with dates but if you add the first temple destruction date 587 BC to the build date of the Dome of the Rock 691 AD, you get 1278.  That is close enough for serious consideration.

in Daniel

A King of the South 

and his daughter that fits with the king of the north and the Apocalypse.  The king of the south is Mohammed and his daughter is Fatimah. The king of the north is Muawiyah who was one of Mohammed’s commanders, not princes as some translations would have it.  This was the beginning of the Umayyad Caliphate, a dynasty that placed the abomination.

the four horsemen

A Fit  

with colors to match.  Constantine from the white sea, the Mediterranean, with a bow, a covenant, made the world safe for Christianity.  Mohammed from the Red Sea with a sword took peace from the earth.  Marx, the father of Communism from the Black Sea.  These are big pieces of the puzzle consistent with Babylon the GreatConstantinople, and the Thousand years, the Byzantine empire.

A Sea

 of color.  Red and black are interesting.  White not so much until you find out the Turks call the Mediterranean the white sea.  Now look for horse riders from the white, Red, and Black seas.  Red and Black are easy.  Mohammed and Marx, both enemies of Christianity.  The rider from the white sea may not be an enemy if you consider the bow a covenant and someone like Constantine who was the greatest friend of Christianity.  It’s a fit.

ten horns

A Common Characteristic

 with the beast of Daniel and the Apocalypse.  Both Daniel and John tell us that the horns are kings.  That doesn’t help much.  There are way too many kings.  This forced the interpreters to consider dynasties or kingdoms.  This helps if you know how to count them.  I don’t so I have to rely on the beast to count them for me.  No problem.  The ten dynasties of Islam.

Daniel

A Key

 to unlock the door to understanding the Apocalypse.  They are connected.  You can’t solve one without solving the other.  The abomination of desolation and the attack on Constantinople in 666 point to Islam.  To make it fit we need to identify the “ten horns” and while were at it, let’s see if we can identify the “king of the north” and the “king of the south”.

A Holy Place

 in Daniel spoken of by Jesus.  Not there but the abomination of desolation is.  Three times.  Which one is Jesus talking about?  What is standing in the holy place?  Is it an it or a person?  There is little agreement here.  Wikipedia has three possibilities to consider:  Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 BC, Titus in 70 AD, and the Dome of the Rock by the Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan in 691 AD.  The last one is with us today.  This is the one we need to consider.

a beast is a beast is

A Beast

 is a beast.  That is four.  Daniel had four.  John had two but they had “ten horns” in common.  So what makes a beast a beast?  Only Daniel can tell us that.  Most agree on Babylon, Greece, and Rome.  What do they have in common?  The Temple.  The first destroyed the first.  The second desecrated the second.  The third destroyed the second.  The fourth must be preventing the third.  That would be the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place.  So what is in the holy place now?
