A List Of Three –
A family no more. Separate meals is the norm. It is pizza, my chili, and take out when we do eat together.

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 Meaning –
A tool for communicating. The translators couldn’t agree on the meaning of certain words. That is why there are 60 different English versions of the Bible. What do they agree on? Numbers and colors. This may be the only reliable connection of history and prophecy. Our interpretation of what has been prophesied must take this into account. Trust numbers and colors.

A Military Figure –
A thousand year reign. Constantine made the world safe for Christianity. For a thousand years. Prayer isn’t sufficient. It takes a military force to protect the Church.

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 Time To Think –
A yes, maybe no. I don’t know, is my instinctive reaction. I trust that. Think first. Trust that. Instincts no.

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 Spring Green –
A first flower. April. No more freezing. Pots can stay out. Trips to the nursery. Open windows. More time on the patio. Watching things grow. Getting the shorts out. Bird watching.

A Jewish Composition –
A German scholar Vischer held that the Apocalypse was “originally a purely Jewish composition”. Taking away the seven churches and the 12 references to Jesus and you are left with the word “lamb” mentioned 27 times. John the Baptist prepared the way for The Lamb of God. He could have written the original Apocalypse.

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.
