A Thanksgiving –
A family, food, football, tradition. My wife was sick and told me I would have to do the turkey. After each step I would return to the bedroom for instructions. No problem. She never got a chance to do another turkey. I would have it in the oven before she got out of bed. How about turkey for breakfast?

A Caliph –
A sultan, and a perfect fit with Saladin if you know how to count caliphates, sultanates, or dynasties and can tell the difference. Islam can and they counted ten as in ten horns and they shall hate the whore. A connection between Daniel and the Apocalypse. Connected with numbers.

A Storm and Thunder –
A Russian astronomer claimed John Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse in 395 based on astronomy. This John was in Ephesus at the beginning of 401. He could have said, “there are seven kings: five are fallen.” At the time, five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had fallen. Really.

A Football Game –
A win over the best team we played. It was the best game I ever played. It was the only touchdown I ever scored. It was my play at defensive end that won the game.

A Daughter –
A king of the north, a fit with history. Mohammed, the king of the south, and his daughter, Fatimah, along with Muawiyah, the king of the north are a perfect fit with Daniel 11. The abomination of desolation, the Dome of the Rock, was built by the Umayyad dynasty started by Muawiyah.

A Brother on Patmos –
A third John who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate that included the Apocalypse. At the time it was not clear if it would be. Jerome had to be convinced that it was written by the Apostle. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops at the beginning of the fifth century.

A Lassie Movie –
A guy who cries every time Lassie comes home. It is really embarrassing. Then there is anytime they meet at the top of the Empire State Bldg. Don’t get me started.

A Christian Empire –
A time when they reigned with Christ. The Byzantine Empire was the only Christian empire to last a thousand years. Its capital, Constantinople, has all the characteristics of Babylon the Great. No other city has them and can be found no more at all. It is a mystery and likely to remain so.

A Prophecy Again –
A little book eaten by John the Apostle who added the seven churches. He was told to prophesy again. Followers of John the Baptist were found in Ephesus by Paul in Acts 19. This is a reasonable explanation of why John uses his name three times in the first chapter of the Apocalypse. Three different Johns.

A History Without President Biden –
A history without the Ukraine war. A history without a 40 trillion debt. A history without the stupid climate change hoax. Who can say what it would be like now?
