A Bear a leopard.
A connection with the beasts of Daniel. John knows Daniel knows beasts. Also in common are the ten horns. John’s beast was like a leopard, a bear, and a lion. Daniel is the key to understanding the beasts of the Apocalypse. What do the beasts of Daniel have in common? The Temple. Don’t mess with the Temple.

A Mystery
A beast that was, and is not. The beast that was had seven heads and the beast that is to come has ten horns. History will verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Only history can. Just look for it but don’t use your interpretation. Use numbers. They are not misleading. Nearly all the bible translations agree on the numbers. Not much else.

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.

A Great Sword
A power to take peace from the world. The rider is Mohammed from the Red Sea. The world was no longer safe for Christians. This is the Antichrist. The false prophet. The king of the south in Daniel. Islam is the fourth beast of Daniel and the second beast of John with “ten horns”. The first and greatest threat to Christianity.

A Study of the Apocalypse
A listing of all the major items: a thousand years, 666 years, ten horns, seven heads, four horsemen, three johns, two beasts, two witnesses, Babylon the Great, New Jerusalem, etc. are all identified and all it takes is one click to see who or what they are. It is all based on numbers and history that fits what has been prophesied. It is all tied to Daniel.

A Big Sultan
A major Caliphate before whom there were three of the first horns or dynasties. 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. Saladin was involved in both of them. He not only beat the crusaders, he beat Richard the Lionheart. It’s a fit.

A Beast with Ten Horns
A connection with Daniel. The “ten horns” in the Apocalypse are also in Daniel. What is suggested for one must be consistent with the other. No problem. The king of the north and south along with his daughter plus the little horn will all fit with Islam. Stay tuned.

A Number of Dynasties
A horn in the bible is a dynasty. Can you count them? Islam can. Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that lasted 1000 years, fell to the Ottomans which is the tenth dynasty of Islam. Can you say beast? Naming the beasts must be consistent with numbers and Daniel.

A Lack of Agreement
A reason to use numbers and history. All 60 English translations agree on numbers like thousand, 666, ten, seven, and five. There are way too many interpretations on what has been prophesied. Historians have a better record. They are less likely to have an agenda.

A Dynasty
A commentary by Newton who saw the connection between the Apocalypse and Daniel. He also believed the “ten horns” they had in common referred to dynasties. Same for the “seven heads” so the historian should be looking for beasts with seven or ten dynasties. Only historians can count them.
