A Temple –
A desolation. The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Jesus, leads us to the abomination in Daniel. They shall take away the daily sacrifice. That’s the Temple. The first one was destroyed by Babylon. The second was desecrated by Greece and destroyed by Rome. Islam is preventing the third. That is what makes a beast a beast. Count ’em.

A Daughter –
A king of the north. A fit with Islam. Fatimah, daughter of Mohammed who was king of the south, would have to deal with Muawiyah after he became the king of the north. The Umayyad dynasty, started by Muawiyah, placed the abomination that maketh desolate. The Dome of the Rock. These are fits with Daniel that are a fit with the Apocalypse.

A Fourth Beast Of Daniel –
A rider of the red horse with power to take peace from the earth. He was also given the key of the bottomless pit – Sebeos may have been the first to see Islam as the true fourth beast of Daniel. Others like Tom Holland “In The Shadow of The Sword” would recognize this. There is something about the Temple that makes a beast a beast.

A Temple –
A desolation. Babylon destroyed the first temple. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. Islam is preventing the third. The four beasts of Daniel. They all messed with the temple. That is what determines a beast in the mind of Daniel. John seems to agree. Jesus mentioned it. What is in the holy place now? The Dome of the Rock.

A Big Number –
A place to start. There is only one Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. It was attacked in the year 666. It was ended by the 10th dynasty of Islam. It was started by the Roman Empire that had seven dynasties. This is a good start. Does it fit with the other parts? We shall see. The “ten horns” are a clue in Daniel. Look for the number of years.

A Julian Calendar –
A beginning in 44 BC. 622 in the Gregorian calendar, which began in 1582, was the beginning of the Islamic calendar. 666 in the Julian calendar marked the start of Islam. A number in Daniel 9:2 refers to the number of years. That is what Daniel understood by books. A calendar conversion requires a calculation.

A Date –
A year. A mark. A beginning. On your mark, get set, go. A date is the most common mark there is. Nearly all products have it. 666 marks the beginning of Islam. It also marks the attack on Constantinople. Revelation 15:2 ties Greek fire, the Sea of Marmara, and the year Islam attacked Constantinople. – 666 – Really.

A Beast That Was Not –
A beast that is yet to come. From a Christian point of view, the Roman Empire with seven dynasties was a beast until Constantine made the world safe for them. It wasn’t long before a different kind of beast came along to take peace from the world. Islam with ten dynasties. A beast that was diverse from all the others.

A Caliph –
A sultan, and a perfect fit with Saladin if you know how to count caliphates, sultanates, or dynasties and can tell the difference. Islam can and they counted ten as in ten horns and they shall hate the whore. A connection between Daniel and the Apocalypse. Connected with numbers.
Home 22
A Dynasty –
A horn will make war with the saints and take peace from the earth. The Umayyad dynasty, the second dynasty of Islam, attacked Constantinople three times. The Ottoman dynasty, the tenth dynasty of Islam, also attacked three times and ended the thousand years when the saints reigned with Christ. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.
