a governor 

A High Priest 

A candlestick and olive tree.  Two witnesses.  A search for two olive trees leads to Zechariah 4:3 and that leads to Zerubbabel a governor who is always associated with Joshua a high priest.  Church and state.  History has two Christian empires; the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. Both were defeated by the horns of the second beast. The Byzantines actually used Greek Fire coming out of the mouths of animal figures mounted on the boats to defeat the Muslim attackers.

a beast 

A Him Or An It 

A translation problem.  Can you find the beast if you are looking for a “him” instead of an “it”? In Revelation 13:1; 20 have “his horns”, 20 have “its horns”, 15 have “It had ten horns” .  We need Daniel 7:7 to clear this up.  “it had ten horns” is a clear winner.  You need to look for an “it” and not a “him” to find the beast.  It makes a difference.

A Beast That Was, Is Not, And Yet To Come 

A chapter with numbers.  Ten horns, seven heads, five are fallen, and two beasts.  Babylon the Great ties them all together.  Good luck counting kings.  If you count dynasties, five had fallen when John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops.  He is your brother on Patmos.

a desolation 

A Holy Place 

A daily sacrifice taken away.  Jesus points to Daniel, the holy place, and the abomination of desolation.  The Dome of the Rock is standing in the holy place and in the way of the third temple.  Daniel knows what is important.  The Temple.  Only a beast would take away the daily sacrifice.  Only those with understanding will see this.
