a great city 

A Mystery And Likely To Remain So – 

A fit with history like no other.  Many waters, seven hills, seven heads, ten horns, is fallen, is fallen, merchants, and can be found no more at all.  No other city can claim all this.  It is a real mystery why others have not found this.  The only reason for this is it has not been revealed to them.  Knowledge shall be increased when the end is near.

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 Third John – 

A companion in tribulation.  Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops.  He could have gone to Patmos for the word of God.  He must have known about Jerome who was translating the bible and that many believed the Apocalypse didn’t belong in the bible unless of course it was written by the Apostle.  He could find out.

a he or an it 

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.
