a risk I took and do not regret
a repetition
A Recapitulation –
A reinforcement, a necessary theory in understanding the Apocalypse first introduced by Victorinus of Pettau. It holds that the visions are not necessarily in chronological order and possibly a repetition of other visions. Many interpretation errors are a result of assuming the chapters are in chronological order.

a prophecy
A Fulfillment –
A historical event. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of a prophecy. Based on your interpretation. Can it be trusted? Can your bible translation be trusted? Can 60 different English translations of the bible be trusted? They don’t agree on the “word of God”. Do they agree on anything? Maybe numbers. Maybe colors.

a river runs through it
A New Jerusalem –
A Church on a rock. Rome with twelve gates and one river running through it. Don’t wait for it to cometh down out of heaven. It is here now. Just as Jerusalem was the center of the Jewish religion, Rome, the New Jerusalem is the center of the Christian religion. See the map. His Church.

a number
A Color –
A guide to interpretation. You can trust numbers and maybe colors to be reliably translated. Not so much with the other words. The “words of God” are seen differently by the many different bible translators. Who can you trust? Historians. What can you trust? Maybe numbers. Historians may have trouble with dates but they do get close enough.

a thing that makes me nervous
A Difficult Dailyprompt –
A question drawing an uncomfortable blank. Change makes me nervous. Anything new that interferes with my routine.

a witness
A Candlestick –
A church and a state represented by the olive tree. The Apocalypse and Zechariah are connected by “two olive trees”. This leads to Zerubbabel, the state, and that leads to Joshua, the church, and together they built the second temple. The Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire are the two witnesses of the Apocalypse.

a missing word
A Kingdom of God –
A reference to the millennium. The word “kingdom” cannot be found in Chapter 20 . It is not the “reign of Christ”. They “reigned with Christ”. A thousand years has a beginning and an end. The Kingdom of God will not end. Way too many think the thousand years will begin with the Second Coming. They need to check history. The first place to look.

a demanding day
A Way To Unwind –
A beer sitting on my rocking chair on my patio watching others go by. Just wave. No need to talk.
