A Beast of Daniel
A lion, a bear, a leopard, a fourth beast. John’s beast is also like Daniel’s. The
“ten horns” also ties them together. What makes a beast a beast? The Temple. Babylon destroyed the first one. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. Islam is preventing the third. The Abomination of desolation prevents the daily sacrifice.

A Date
A clue from Daniel 9:2 where number refers to years. History shows Islam getting ready to attack Constantinople in the year 666. Based on 44 BC, 666 in the Julian calendar is 622 in the Gregorian calendar (started in 1582) and the beginning of the Islamic calendar. Gibbon also had a problem with dates.

A Thousand Years
A place to start. There is only one thousand year empire and it was a Christian one where they reigned with Christ. The Byzantine Empire. This is where you start. Will it fit with the other numbers: 666, ten horns, seven heads, and five are fallen???? The “ten horns” connect Daniel and the word number.

A Voice Crying in the Wilderness
A bare record ties the Apocalypse to John the Baptist. He was preparing the way for the Lamb, a word found 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Apostle knew the seven churches and John the Baptist who knew Daniel. They are all connected and we can use numbers and history to find out what has been prophesied and how it was fulfilled.

A Scientist
A project preserving the unfinished works of Sir Isaac Newton who was very interested in Daniel and the Apocalypse which is now available on Kindle. Newton felt self bound to communicate it for the benefit of others. Others felt self bound to bring it to you. It is now bound in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle.

A Dynasty
A commentary by Newton who saw the connection between the Apocalypse and Daniel. He also believed the “ten horns” they had in common referred to dynasties. Same for the “seven heads” so the historian should be looking for beasts with seven or ten dynasties. Only historians can count them.

A Red Sea
A great sword to take peace from the earth. The rider is Mohammed and the horse is Islam from the Red Sea. The ten dynasties of Islam fit the “ten horns” in Daniel and the Apocalypse. The Antichrist would start a so-called religion equal to the Christian one. Numbers and colors connect prophecy to history reliably.

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.

A Translation Issue
A beast. Your bible could have as many as 296 beasts or as few as 87. There are 20 translations that consider the beast in Revelation 13:1 a ‘he’ and 37 translations call it an ‘it’. This is a significant difference. Daniel 7:7 can help us here. The fourth beast is an it in all 52 translations. It has ten horns just like the beast in Revelation. If your translation has a he for a beast, you are being misled.

A Big Problem
A word can be misleading if you are looking for the king of the north. There are eight different words in 52 different translations: princes 24, commanders 10, officers 7, officials 5, generals 2, leaders 2, principalities 1, subordinates 1. The word prince suggests a family member unlike the other seven words which have a common meaning. Makes you wonder about words used in other parts of the bible. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them. Reader beware.
