A Lack Of Understanding What It Is –
A belief in consequences. A good tree bears good fruit. You will be judged by your works.

a number
A Date –
A year. A mark. A beginning. On your mark, get set, go. A date is the most common mark there is. Nearly all products have it. 666 marks the beginning of Islam. It also marks the attack on Constantinople. Revelation 15:2 ties Greek fire, the Sea of Marmara, and the year Islam attacked Constantinople. – 666 – Really.

a beast that was
A Beast That Was Not –
A beast that is yet to come. From a Christian point of view, the Roman Empire with seven dynasties was a beast until Constantine made the world safe for them. It wasn’t long before a different kind of beast came along to take peace from the world. Islam with ten dynasties. A beast that was diverse from all the others.

a christian empire
A Big Part –
A key to understanding the Apocalypse. They reigned with Christ a thousand years. The Byzantine Empire has all the pieces. Babylon the Great. Seven Heads. Ten Horns. Two Beasts. All the pieces fit. The numbers fit. They fit with Daniel. This is where you start.

a bottomless pit
A Recapitulation –
A vision not in chronological order. In chapter 9 and 11 we have the beast coming out of the “bottomless pit” and in chapter 20 the beast is being cast into it. Victorinus was the first to suggest this theory of recapitulation. The bottomless pit is also consistent with the beast that was, is not, and yet is. The two beasts are really the same.

a governor
A High Priest –
A candlestick and olive tree. Two witnesses. A search for two olive trees leads to Zechariah 4:3 and that leads to Zerubbabel a governor who is always associated with Joshua a high priest. Church and state. History has two Christian empires; the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. Both were defeated by the horns of the second beast. The Byzantines actually used Greek Fire coming out of the mouths of animal figures mounted on the boats to defeat the Muslim attackers.

a most spontaneous thing I’ve done
A Walking Group I Didn’t Want To Be With –
A decision to stop walking to see if anyone would notice. No one did and I turned around and walked the other way. Found a restaurant. Later a couple others joined me and we had a very nice time.

a fourth beast of Daniel
A Common Beast –
A second beast of the Apocalypse. John knows Daniel knows beasts. The beast which he saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. The “ten horns” also ties them together. Numbers tie history to the fulfillment of prophecy.

a time for self-care
A Way Of Helping Yourself –
A morning routine. Coffee, dailyprompt, and two soft boiled eggs. Something about protein first. Ask AI about that.
