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 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 Connection With Daniel 

A common beast with “ten horns”.  John knows Daniel and Daniel knows beasts.  What makes a beast a beast?  The Temple.  Don’t mess with the Temple.  Babylon destroyed the first Temple.  Greece desecrated the second that was destroyed by Rome.  Islam is preventing the third with the Dome of the Rock.

A Beast That Is To Come 

A beginning and an end to a thousand year empire.  The Byzantine Empire.  It started with the Roman Empire that had seven dynasties and ended with the Ottoman Empire that had ten dynasties.  A good fit but this requires an understanding of what makes a beast a beast and only Daniel can help us with this problem.
