a revelation
A Testimony of Jesus Christ –
A “bare record”. It was John the Baptist “who bare record”. It was John the Apostle who wrote “to the seven churches”. It was John Chrysostom, “who also am your brother”, who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate and needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse. Three Johns. Really.

a sea of glass mingled with fire
A Greek Fire –
A Sea of Marmara like a sheet of glass. They used Greek Fire on the Sea of Marmara when Islam attacked in the year 666. ” And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.”. 15:2

a law broken unintentionally
A Law –
A plenty. The spirit verses the letter of the law. Can it be known? They all hang on the greatest law. It is known. Can you love the unknown? Is it over-thinking? Get over it and start thinking. Because you can and should.

a beast with ten horns
A Historian Named Sebeos –
A first to name Islam as the fourth beast of Daniel. Most still think it is Rome even though it doesn’t fit. What does fit? Rome with seven dynasties starting the Byzantine Empire that would last a thousand years ending with the tenth dynasty of Islam. It was the second dynasty of Islam that attacked Constantinople in 666.

a beast
A Him Or An It –
A translation problem. Can you find the beast if you are looking for a “him” instead of an “it”? In Revelation 13:1: 20 have “his horns”, 20 have “its horns”, 15 have “It had ten horns” . We need Daniel 7:7 to clear this up. “It had ten horns” is a clear winner. You need to look for an “it” and not a “him” to find the beast. It makes a difference.

a lot of beasts in the bible
A KJV with 296 –
A book of Daniel with four great ones. What is so great about them? Jesus gives us a clue with the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place. What is in the holy place now? The Dome of the Rock is preventing the third Temple. Does that make Islam the fourth beast of Daniel? Babylon destroyed the first one. Rome destroyed the second. Greece desecrated the second. The only time Jesus got mad was with the money changers at the Temple. I wonder if he feels the same about His Church.

A Phone Call Saturday Morning –
A way to keep in touch. Most of the time we talked about sports, a safe topic. Family is more important but today politics is almost impossible to ignore. A sad state of affairs.
