A Saving Habit –
A delayed gratification. I started saving when I was young. I had two older brothers who couldn’t make it through the school year without borrowing from me. Lending money was a good feeling and I remember everyone who didn’t pay me back.

A Temple –
A desolation. Babylon destroyed the first temple. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. Islam is preventing the third. The four beasts of Daniel. They all messed with the temple. That is what determines a beast in the mind of Daniel. John seems to agree. Jesus mentioned it. What is in the holy place now? The Dome of the Rock.

A Little Book To Eat –
A command to prophesy again. Why would John eat a little book? To get it into the bible. It is in the bible because certain key players believed it was written by the Apostle. So who wrote the little book that John ate? The Baptist. He was preparing the way for Lamb. The ‘Lamb’ can be found 27 times in the Apocalypse. “Bare record” can be found five times in the bible.

A Pet Would Rub My Leg –
A pet would jump up on a chair so I could pet it. A pet would jump in the chair with me so I could brush it. A pet will just look at me and not say anything.

A Bear –
A leopard. A connection with the beasts of Daniel. John knows Daniel knows beasts. Also in common are the ten horns. John’s beast was like a leopard, a bear, and a lion. Daniel is the key to understanding the beasts of the Apocalypse. What do the beasts of Daniel have in common? The Temple. Don’t mess with the Temple. This is new.

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 Meow Says It All –
A sound of music. The sweetest sound I ever heard. Like something brushing your leg. Sometimes they just look at you.

A Revelation –
A book of what is to come. Only history can verify what has been prophesied. History based on numbers. Not on interpretation. You can only trust numbers. Numbers do not have to be interpreted. Start with the big numbers like a thousand and it might lead you to the Byzantine Empire that fits with all the other numbers. And colors.

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 Book Titled “Exodus” by Leon Uris –
A best seller that was a thousand pages. I stopped reading it after 800. It was the first book I didn’t finish. Don’t know why. I have always supported Israel but felt reading this book was a waste of time.
