A Confusion About What To Expect
A feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness. A cause of stress. We are losing the rules that tell us what to do. How to act. They also tell us what to expect. We are never ready for chaos. Rules are necessary. Stop it. The stop sign prevents the crash. Without rules we will crash into each other.
A Red Dragon
A Red Sea. A color to tie them together with the seven heads and ten horns. The “ten horns” ties the beasts of Daniel to the beasts of John. The “bottomless pit” ties it all together with Babylon the Great and the thousand years. You have to love BibleGateway. You can find these numbers and colors in history. Look for them.
A Connection Of Dots
A number of boxes to check. Ten horns, seven heads, two beasts, a bottomless pit, etc. They can all be connected. Daniel can help us identify the beasts. Chapter 17 has many waters and seven hills, Chapter 18 has many merchants and a great city that has fallen and can be found no more at all. With Constantinople we can check all the boxes and connect the dots.
A Visit By The Pope
A city in Iraq. Qaraqosh. Catholics are not wanted here. Catholics in Qaraqosh, Iraq, call it ‘miracle’ that pope will visit. AKA Bakhdida. Just change the name and the problem will go away. Are you still looking for a beast? This one is diverse from all the rest. Constantinople can be found no more at all. It is now Istanbul.
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 Reason To Read
A reader who is blessed. Promised at the beginning and again at the end. Five times in between for a total of seven. Being blessed is a good thing. Especially during times of confusion. Our leaders are lying. Where do we go for the truth? Can we recognize the truth?
A Temple
A desolation. The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Jesus, leads us to the abomination in Daniel. They shall take away the daily sacrifice. That’s the Temple. The first one destroyed by Babylon. The second desecrated by Greece and destroyed by Rome. Islam is preventing the third. That is what makes a beast a beast.

A New Jargon
A confusion that is the enemy of truth. Gaslighting. Virtue signaling. Woke. Reset. Cancel culture. etc. Don’t give in to the new way of talking. Stay with the old way of talking like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The truth is simple. Like Life, Marriage, and Family. Simple is a good thing.
A Mystery
a misinterpretation. Even Peter knew he was in Babylon. Some are still looking for his bones south of Baghdad. That is the real mystery but Rome having seven hills was never a mystery. The seven hills of Constantinople is still a mystery and likely to remain so. It will never fit with their narrative.

A Beast
according to Daniel. Babylon, Media, Greece, and Rome are the usual suspects. Why Media? Babylon, Greece, and Rome had something to do with the Temple but not Media. It is easy to see why messing with the Temple might make you a beast. The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel is a good clue. So we need a fourth beast with ten horns to replace Media.
