A Temple –
A beast in the making. Babylon and Rome destroyed the first and second Temples. They are beasts. Greece is also a beast based on the desecration of the second Temple by Antiochus IV Epiphanes. What is in the holy place now preventing the third Temple? The Dome of the Rock makes Islam the fourth beast.

A Reason for the Apocalypse –
A revelation of what must shortly come to pass. Why? To prepare the way for the first coming. The Lamb of God. Not the second coming. Jesus. Lamb is mentioned 27 times. Jesus is mentioned only 12 times. John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lamb of God. He didn’t know it was Jesus.

A Temple –
A revelation in Daniel. What makes a beast a beast? Daniel knows beasts and abominations. Jesus wanted us to pay attention to them. An abomination is something that you do to the holy place. The Temple. Only a beast would mess with the Temple. With only two Temples, how do you get four beasts?

A Reason for Prophecy –
A search for understanding. Why, Where, Who, When, and What????? The answers should make sense. All the questions must be considered. For the most part we are limited to speculation which should be consistent with what we do know. The first question is Why. Why was the Apocalypse written?

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 Number –
A connection with prophecy. Different interpretations have led to over 60 different English bible translations. They all seem to agree on numbers. They all agree on a thousand years, 666, ten horns, seven heads, and five are fallen. Numbers can be used to connect history with prophecy which is the only way to verify the fulfillment of prophecy.

A Starting Point –
A thousand years in history where they reigned with Christ. The “reign of Christ” cannot be found in the bible. Only on the internet. Go figure. Start with the big number. There’s only one. No interpretation required. The smaller numbers are not so hard to find.

A Dynasty –
A suggestion that “the heads are seven successive dynasties” can be found in Sir Isaac Newton’s Daniel and the Apocalypse. The seven dynasties of the Roman Empire are listed here. The ten dynasties of Islam are listed here. Both are a fit with history. The Byzantine Empire started with the fifth dynasty of Rome and ended with the tenth dynasty of Islam.

A Revelation –
A blessing for those who readeth. Promised at the beginning and again at the end for the time is at hand. If you keepeth the sayings. The time was near for the first coming. It is now near for the second coming. Prepare the way. John the Baptist prepared the way for the first coming. We must now prepare the way for the second coming.

A Horn Of Plenty –
A connection to Daniel. The “ten horns” of the fourth beast of Daniel are tied to the second beast of the Apocalypse. The ten dynasties of Islam must be consistent with Daniel as well as with the Apocalypse. They are. They fit. The source, Islamicart, is no longer available but a hard copy of it has been saved.
