A Dynasty
A connection with Daniel. The ten horns tie the fourth beast of Daniel to the second beast of the Apocalypse. The horns are dynasties and they are named by Islam. They can be connected by two big numbers. A thousand years and the year 666. The seven heads can also be connected with the seven dynasties of Rome.
A Problem For Historians
A letter to the church in Pergamos. Eusebius doesn’t know Antipas. Victorinus doesn’t know Antipas. They don’t know the churches either. No problem for speculators. There will be no need for speculation in the final days. Everything will be revealed. Knowledge shall be increased according to Daniel.
A Beast with Ten Horns
A connection to Daniel. John knows Daniel who knows beasts. The “ten horns” ties the second beast of the Apocalypse to the fourth beast of Daniel. They are kings or dynasties which are easier to count especially if you let them do the counting. The ten dynasties of Islam according to Islam.

A Number
a year, a starting point, a date. Nearly all products have a mark or a date marking the beginning of its existence. A beast will also have a starting point and in most cases an end point. There could be an exception. One was diverse from all the beasts that were before it. How do we identify a beast?

A Connection
between Daniel and John. A common beast. Daniel knows beasts and John knows Daniel. John’s beast is like a leopard, a bear, and a lion. They all had something in common. Like the temple. The first destroyed the first temple. The second desecrated the second. The third destroyed the second. The fourth is preventing the third. Babylon, Greece, Rome, and Islam.

A Beast
in the making. Daniel has four beasts but only two temples. Babylon destroyed the first one. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. Islam is preventing the third. What is in the holy place now? The Dome of the Rock. That makes four.

A Fit
with historical events that need to be consistent with Daniel based on “ten horns”. The beasts of the Apocalypse are connected to those of Daniel. With so many candidates, how did Daniel come up with just four. It just might have something to do with the temple. Who messed with the temple?

A Key
to understanding the Apocalypse. Daniel knows beasts. John knows Daniel. Your interpretation of what John wrote should be consistent with what Daniel wrote. Daniel understood by books the number of the years. Bible translators agree on numbers. No interpretation necessary. A good place to start. Start with big numbers.

A Folly
according to Newton. What is your interpretation based on? The bible? Which translation? There are 59 different English translations plus revisions. They don’t agree. The differences are significant. Many are uncomfortable with the word interpretation because somehow they understand the original intent of the written word. Who or what can you believe?
A Number
or I should say the word number. Found it in Daniel and it referred to years. I then searched history to find out what happened in the year 666. Nothing. I did find Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years where they reigned with Christ. Not a bad start.
