A Morning Person –
A breakfast with two steamed eggs. Soft yoke lightly salted tastes so good. A great way to get your necessary vitamin D. So many years they lied to us about the egg. Some still avoid the egg for no good reason. It may be the most important thing we eat.

A Daughter –
A king of the north, a fit with history. Mohammed, the king of the south, and his daughter, Fatimah, along with Muawiyah, the king of the north are a perfect fit with Daniel 11. The abomination of desolation, the Dome of the Rock, was built by the Umayyad dynasty started by Muawiyah.

A Brother on Patmos –
A third John who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate that included the Apocalypse. At the time it was not clear if it would be. Jerome had to be convinced that it was written by the Apostle. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops at the beginning of the fifth century.

A Restaurant –
A two dollar margarita. I was parking the car when this guy approached me saying they could only make enchiladas. All I wanted was enchiladas and margaritas. The help outnumbered the patrons. Their problem was no problem for me. Three girls made sure I got my hot sauce and three margaritas. I felt special and did have fun.

A Christian Empire –
A time when they reigned with Christ. The Byzantine Empire was the only Christian empire to last a thousand years. Its capital, Constantinople, has all the characteristics of Babylon the Great. No other city has them and can be found no more at all. It is a mystery and likely to remain so.

A Prophecy Again –
A little book eaten by John the Apostle who added the seven churches. He was told to prophesy again. Followers of John the Baptist were found in Ephesus by Paul in Acts 19. This is a reasonable explanation of why John uses his name three times in the first chapter of the Apocalypse. Three different Johns.

A Breakfast –
A coffee, lime, oatmeal, eggs, apple, banana, prunes, etc. Couldn’t stop at five. Eggs should have been first. Two of them. Boiled or steamed. Prunes when you get older. Always oatmeal, raw, you don’t have to cook it.

A History –
A fulfillment of prophecy verified with numbers that don’t require interpretation. There are over 50 English translations of the bible that agree on numbers. Big numbers like a thousand is the place to start. There is only one Christian empire that lasted a thousand years and it fits.

A First Coming –
A servant of God. It was John the Baptist who “bare record” of the word of God. John was preparing the way for the first coming which must shortly come to pass. He was preparing the way for the “Lamb”, a word found 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Baptist wrote the first Apocalypse and John the Apostle wrote the second.

A Pope –
A holy man. John Paul the Great. Just seeing him, before I heard or read anything about him, I knew he would make a positive change in my life. We were lucky to have him.
