Daniel

A Fit

with John when it comes to beasts.  The “ten horns” is not the only connection.  The beast John saw was like a leopard just like Daniel’s third beast.  It was also like a bear just like Daniel’s second beast.  It was also like a lion just like Daniel’s first beast.  The last two beasts of Daniel are the two beasts of the Apocalypse.  Another connection. Another fit.

ten horns

A Connection 

with Daniel.  Just search the bible for “ten horns” and the fourth beast of Daniel is tied to the second beast of John in chapters 12, 13, and 17 of the Apocalypse. This connection to Daniel can help us identify the beasts which may be easier than identifying the ten horns and the seven heads.  What would the beasts of Daniel have in common with the beasts of John?

in Daniel

A Number 

that can helps us with the number 666.  In Daniel 9:2 the word number refers to years.  John knows Daniel and this might be the clue we need.  So lets see if it fits.  What happened in the year 666?  What do the historians say?

too many beasts

A Problem 

for some Bible versions.  As many as 296 in the KJV and as little as 87 in the NIV.  How many does your version have?  Granted what makes a beast a beast is not well defined but words are.  So it looks like translators are interpreting as well as translating.  Who can you trust?

a beast

A He Or An It 

is not clear with all the Bible versions.  It should be.  Why can’t the translators agree on something this simple?  Who can we trust?  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.
