A Change Is Not Always An Improvement –
A routine is my friend. Not just because I’m old. The morning is no time to be making changes. It is time for coffee and the dailyprompt and definitely not time for changes. Now it is time to edit.

A Beast with Ten Horns –
A connection to Daniel. John knows Daniel who knows beasts. The “ten horns” ties the second beast of the Apocalypse to the fourth beast of Daniel. They are kings or dynasties which are easier to count especially if you let them do the counting. The ten dynasties of Islam according to Islam.

A First Version of the Apocalypse –
A conjecture that it was written by John the Baptist was first suggested by Josephine Massyngbaerde Ford. She is not the first to suggest multiple authors of the Apocalypse. Peter Vischer did suggest it was “originally a purely Jewish composition”. It has also been suggested that it was originally written in Hebrew. That’s the truth.

A Good Friend Change –
A political view that involves hate and intolerance. You can’t even talk to them any more. Hopefully your family ties are stronger. If not, say goodbye to family. Time to check your political views that involve hate and edit them.
Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?

A Temple –
A beast in the making. What makes a beast a beast? Daniel knows beasts and the abomination of desolation mentioned by Jesus. Babylon destroyed the first temple. Greece desecrated the second and Rome destroyed it. Islam and the Dome of the Rock is preventing the third. The four beasts of Daniel.

A History of the Church –
A dog that didn’t bark. Eusebius never associates the churches with the Apocalypse. He does mention six of the seven churches but does not connect them with the Apocalypse. Since Victorinus has the same problem, it suggests that there may have been a version of the Apocalypse that didn’t have the seven churches.

A Thing Called Air –
A breath of air is necessary to live. You can go without it for about three minutes. You can go without water for about three days and food for about three weeks. Not eating food is called fasting and we should do it often. I will need to edit this.

A Fulfillment of Prophecy –
A victory over the beast. Constantinople used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara, like a sheet of glass, and the year was 666. The problem with dates was noted by Gibbon. His 46 years gets you 668 but put it in an Islamic calendar converter, a calculation, and you will get exactly 666. An amazing fit with Revelation 15:2.

A Commentary on the Apocalypse –
A dog that didn’t bark. Victorinus didn’t mention the churches. He does mention the seven churches that Paul wrote to. So why not mention the seven churches that John wrote to? It is possible that his version of the Apocalypse didn’t have the seven churches. We need to look at Eusebius to see if he has the same problem.

A Thought That Won’t Go Away –
A senior in high school. I was somebody in a small school and didn’t look up to anyone. I got whatever I asked for. It would be a long time before I would feel that way again. Okay where is that edit thing?
