A “My Fair Lady” –
A first professional play that I got to see when I was a senior in high school. I couldn’t believe how anything could be that good. Years later I would see the movie for the first time and again I couldn’t believe how anything could be that entertaining. Both times the circumstances were very unusual. I couldn’t believe what was happening to me.

A Rider Named Death –
A Pale of Settlement that looks like Ukraine with a Sea of Azov that could be a pale sea. Pale is a border which should be in order. It can be a dangerous place if not respected. It could be the death of freedom. Death is the rider of the pale horse and hell will follow. Pay attention to what may be a sign of the times.

A Connection to John the Baptist –
A Lamb of God. A “bare record” clearly points to John the Baptist. So does the word “lamb”. This also explains why the time is at hand. He was preparing the way for the first coming. John the apostle knew all this when he added the seven churches and Jesus to his version of the Apocalypse.

A Something That Can Be Bought –
A short term feeling that comes with buying something new is soon replaced with the fear that there will never be enough money for the things that you really need. Love. It is not for sale. It comes with getting to know others. With appreciating others. With appreciating what you have that was free.

A Black Sea –
A pair of balances something needed to feed the masses who use religion as one might use opium. Marx is the rider and the horse is communism from the Black Sea. Marx is the father of communism that considers religion to be the enemy. This is the second great threat to Christianity and any religion for that matter.

A John –
A canon that only considers apostles. So why did they think John wasn’t the apostle? The apostle wouldn’t use his name five times. He wouldn’t say lamb more times than Jesus. The Baptist would since he didn’t know Jesus was the Lamb. The apostle knew who “bare record” and Jesus.

A Cooking Skill –
A quick simple meal using only one pot and just whatever you have on hand. The ability to create recipes. Cooking theory that tells you what can go together and why.

A Red Sea –
A great sword to take peace from the earth. The rider is Mohammed and the horse is Islam from the Red Sea. The ten dynasties of Islam fit the ten horns in Daniel and the Apocalypse. The Antichrist would start a so-called religion equal to the Christian one. Numbers and colors connect prophecy to history reliably.

A City of God –
A new bible translated by Jerome precedes Augustine’s commentary on the Apocalypse in The City of God. Prior to the Vulgate many believed the Apocalypse did not belong in the bible. This was settled once and for all by Jerome who had the authority to define the bible. We still wonder about who wrote it and when.

A Morning Routine –
A start with the dailyprompt and coffee. Getting noticed. A false leader. The Apocalypse, my primary objective was not getting noticed. My dailyprompt is. I really enjoy doing it and more are now looking at what I have to say about the Apocalypse.
