what makes
A Beast
a beast? The Temple. Don't mess with the Temple. Babylon, Greece, Rome, and Islam did. The first beast destroyed the first Temple. The second desecrated the second. The third destroyed the second. The fourth is preventing the third. Another connection. Does Islam fit with other parts of Daniel? We shall see.

in Daniel
A King of the South
with a daughter. One of his princes, or commanders as other versions would have it, would become a stronger king of the north who shall place the abomination of desolation. Fatimah is the daughter of Mohammed and Muawiyah was his commader in the north. A perfect fit.

another connection
A Bottomless Pit
that ties chapters 9, 11, 17, and 20 together. The beast of chapter 13, locked in the pit in chapter 20 is released in chapter 9. The chapters are not in chronological order. The two beasts must have seven heads and ten horns and must fit all theses chapters. No problem. We shall see.

behold
A Great Red Dragon,
having seven heads and ten horns. Dynasties. The Roman Empire had seven and Islam had ten. The beast that thou sawest was, and is not and it all happened during the thousand year reign with Christ. That would be the Byzantine Empire and its capital, Constantinople, is a perfect fit with Babylon the Great. Check it out.

these shall hate
A Whore,
and shall make her desolate. She, the city, Constantinople fell to the tenth dynasty of Islam in 1453. The Ottoman Empire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast

Constantinople
A City
with all the characteristics of Babylon the Great. It had many waters, it is a mystery, it had seven hills, it is fallen, it had trade, and it can be found no more at all. No other city had all these characteristics. Only Constantinople.

numbers that fulfill
A Prophecy
and fit with other numbers that fulfill prophecies:
- 1000 years is the Byzantine Empire
- 666 on the Julian calendar is the Hegira
- 666 on the Gregorian calendar is the Seige of Constantinople
- 10 horns, the dynasties of Islam
- 7 heads, the dynasties of the pagan Roman Empire
These numbers require no interpretation and they fit

take
A Number
a big prophetic number like a thousand and see if it fits with other prophetic numbers in historical events. Fulfillment of prophecy requires matching historical events and prophetic numbers don't require interpretation. You can't rely on interpretation. Only a literal reading and a fit with historical events is trustworthy.

history
A Key
that unlocks the door to understanding the Apocalypse. The Church Fathers did not have this advantage. Because of this, in the end knowledge shall be increased. Because of the cloud, it will reach all nations. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him. This could be a sign that the time is at hand.

behold
A Cloud
with all the information you need. Twenty years ago, only libraries had the books necessary for research. Today it can be Googled. Search any key word or phrase. Seek, and ye shall find. Today the works of Isaac Newton are online and it includes his research on the Apocalypse. If you want answers, you have to look.

Isaac Newton
A Project
left undone. His unpublished work on the Apocalypse was saved, translated, and put online. All interested in the Apocalypse should consider his views which includes dynasties as the meaning of seven heads and ten horns. Newton felt our understanding of the Apocalypse would continue to improve as we approach the end. Daniel assures us of that.

Eusebius
A Historian
is also online and can be searched. What he didn't know is most interesting. Like Antipas and the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Stuff like that can't be known just by reading his book and should be addressed. So far it hasn't been.

New Advent
A Valuable Source
for writings of the Church Fathers. It includes Victorinus whose commentary does not include Antipas and the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Since Eusebius has the same problem, this needs to be addressed but so far hasn't been.

here is
A Reasonable Explanation
for Eusebius and Victorinus not knowing about Antipas and the seven churches of the Apocalypse. They were looking at the first version of the Apocalypse written by John the Baptist. Seriously.

John the Baptist
A Bare Record
that this is the Son of God. John the Apostle knew John the Baptist who knew the Lamb of God. Lamb is used 27 times in the Apocalypse because the original writer did not know Jesus was the Lamb until the next day. And John bare record

John the Baptist
A First John
who bare record. The Apocalypse is about the first coming not the second. The time is at hand and John the Baptist, the voice of one crying in the wilderness , the first of three johns, his servants, did shew things which must shortly come to pass, Jesus. This was suggested by J. Massyngberde Ford.

John the Apostle
A Second John
to the seven churches. He ate the book and was told he must prophesy again. John the Apostle knew the followers of John the Baptist in Ephesus from Acts 19. He added the seven churches and Antipas. Jesus is the Lamb of the Apocalypse and the followers of the Baptist needed to know that.

John Chrysostom
A Third John
who also am your brother was in Ephesus at the beginning of the 5th century replacing seven bishops. Astronomy convinced Nikolai A. Morozov that Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse. R.A. Charles has this. At this time five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come. Also at this time, Jerome was finishing the Vulgate and needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse.
