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 Word of God
A test of your bible. Does it have the word ‘test’? If not, do you know what you are doing here? You are being tested. From a bible that does contain the word ‘test’, you are being refined, purified, and tested. Those with insight shall understand. Words have meaning and they can be mistranslated.

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. If your translation has a he for a beast, you are being misled.

A Big Problem
A word can be misleading if you are looking for the king of the north. There are eight different words in 52 different translations: princes 24, commanders 10, officers 7, officials 5, generals 2, leaders 2, principalities 1, subordinates 1. The word prince suggests a family member unlike the other seven words which have a common meaning. Makes you wonder about words used in other parts of the bible. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them. Reader beware.

A Desolation
A third temple has not happened and will not happen. Not one stone here will be left upon another. Daniel has three references to the abomination. The first one is Antiochus IV and he shall make it desolate. The second is the Umayyad dynasty and they shall placethe Dome of the Rock which now stands in the holy place preventing the daily sacrifice.

A Dynasty
A beast. What makes a beast? The temple. Don’t mess with the temple. Daniel’s beasts did. Babylon destroyed the first temple. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. Islam is preventing the third. Enter the Dome of the Rock. What is now in the holy place spoken of by Jesus?

A Dynasty
A hatred of the whore. Constantinople, Babylon the Great, fell to the tenth dynasty of Islam in 1453. This ended a thousand year Christian empire that started with the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. Behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. The “ten horns” ties the fourth beast of Daniel to the second beast of John.

A Great City
A mystery and likely to remain so. Constantinople can be found no more at all and the merchants of the earth shall weep over the city with many waters and seven hills. Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen. 1204 and 1453. No other city has all these characteristics. Babylon the Great is Constantinople.

A Chance To Repent
A fallback position. A return to what you once believed. If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit said to the churches. He knows your works. He knows you can’t bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars.
A Greek Fire
A significant passage in the Apocalypse. In defense of Constantinople they used Greek Fire on the Sea of Marmara which was like a sheet of glass and the year was 666. A sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name. Islam.
