a clue
A Dog That Didn’t Bark –
A commentary by Victorinus on the Apocalypse. He mentions the seven churches that Paul wrote to but not the ones John wrote to. Eusebius has the same problem. He mentions six of the seven churches of the Apocalypse but never associates any of them with the Apocalypse. Is there a reasonable explanation for this?

A Problem with Dates –
A history of Rome by Gibbon. Go ahead, pick an Islamic calendar converter and put 46 in it. You get 666. 46 is the number Gibbon used. 46 years after the Hijri year Constantinople was attacked. A date is a mark. Gibbon notes the problems with dates. There are other ways to get to 666. Stay tuned.

A Difficult Command –
A victim to be protected. Can you allow the filthy to be filthy and still be righteous? Not if there are victims. The silence must end. Expose the filth. Protect the vulnerable. Predators should not get a second chance. Protect the child. Not the predator. They can’t be trusted. Let the children come.

a number
A Year –
A date, a beginning, a start, a mark. Nearly every product sold today has a date marking its beginning. The word “number” in Daniel refers to years. Historians are good at ignoring what may have happened in the year 666 but we do know Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople about that time.

A New Earth –
A new Jerusalem. A pure river of water of life. The Tiber is not clear as crystal. That which comes out of Rome is now as corrupted as that which has gone into Rome. It will take a chastisement to correct it. Life, marriage, and family is the environment that we need to worry about. Protect the child. Let them come.

A Great Sultan –
A fit with Daniel. Saladin came out of the Fatimid Caliphate, the fourth of ten Islamic dynasties, and would start the fifth, the Ayyubid dynasty. We also have the Battle of the Horns of Hama and the Battle of the Horns of Hattin. Saladin was involved in both of them. He not only beat the crusaders, he beat Richard the Lionheart. It’s a fit.

a something you used to worry about
A Retirement Fund –
A necessary amount. How much was enough? We moved a lot. Couldn’t estimate what our pensions would be with many different jobs. I stopped worrying after a few years into retirement. We had more than enough.
