A Trip To My Patio –
A rocking chair with a beer. I may not be able to control when I die but I do have a little control over where by limiting my travel. 23

a number
A Color –
A guide to interpretation. You can trust numbers and maybe colors to be reliably translated. Not so much with the other words. The “words of God” are seen differently by the many different bible translators. Who can you trust? Historians. What can you trust? Maybe numbers. Historians may have trouble with dates but they do get close enough.

a governor
A High Priest –
A candlestick and olive tree. Two witnesses. A search for two olive trees leads to Zechariah 4:3 and that leads to Zerubbabel a governor who is always associated with Joshua a high priest. Church and state. History has two Christian empires; the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. Both were defeated by the horns of the second beast. The Byzantines actually used Greek Fire coming out of the mouths of animal figures mounted on the boats to defeat the Muslim attackers.

a change to modern society
A Married Age –
A marriage is for kids. Too many are putting off marriage for the wrong reasons and end up having few if any children. Let them come. It is job one. The most important thing we do. Grandchildren are precious. Your college degree, not so much. 22
a missing word
A Kingdom of God –
A reference to the millennium. The word “kingdom” cannot be found in Chapter 20 . It is not the “reign of Christ”. They “reigned with Christ”. A thousand years has a beginning and an end. The Kingdom of God will not end. Way too many think the thousand years will begin with the Second Coming. They need to check history. The first place to look.

a river runs through it
A New Jerusalem –
A new earth with no more sea. Just a river. It is here now. Just as Jerusalem was the center of the Jewish religion, Rome, the New Jerusalem is the center of the Christian religion. See the map. A river and twelve gates. Three in each direction.

a background noise
A Work Aid –
A silence is necessary for me. Sometimes I have the news on and have to turn it off so I can concentrate on what I am doing. 21
a bow
A Rainbow –
A covenant between God and the earth. The rider of the white horse had a rainbow in his hand and is from the Aegean or the Mediterranean aka the white sea. Constantine made the world safe for Christians. He started a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years where they reigned with Christ. This artist got it right.

a color
A Sea –
A location. The color of the horses is a clue from whence they came. Start with the Red and Black seas. The white sea is a little tricky. The Mediterranean and Aegean seas are also known as the white sea. Like numbers, colors are translated accurately. No room for interpretation. The translators all agree on numbers and colors.

A Hot Spicy Chili –
A chili without tomatoes. Just ground beef, dark red kidney beans, onions, and chicken stock. It must be hot. The best thing for a sore throat. 20
