a commander 

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 beast 

A Temple – 

A revelation in Daniel.  What makes a beast a beast?  Daniel knows beasts and abominations.  Jesus wanted us to pay attention to them.   An abomination is something that you do to the holy place.  The Temple.  Only a beast would mess with the Temple.  With only two Temples, how do you get four beasts?

a little horn 

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.
