A Crowd Of People –
A time to be heard without preparation. Public speaking scares me. Need to be asked. Need time to prepare. Only once did I speak up without being asked and without preparation because it looked like no one else would do it. It was mentioned in the local newspaper.
A Sacred Bible –
A list of books that might not contain the Apocalypse at the end of the fourth century. John Chrysostom, who never quoted the Apocalypse, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century and Jerome was finishing his Vulgate. Was Chrysostom able to confirm that the Apocalypse was written by the Apostle?

A Church –
A star and a light for the world. A Guide. The seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Those churches no longer exist. Christianity no longer exists there. Replaced with Islam. The churches in Europe are also being replaced and Muslims are rapidly taking over.

A Negative Reaction –
A lack of sunshine. A lack of truth. Censorship. A lack of thinking. Complaining. Corruption. Thinking about what I complain about the most. An inability to stop complaining.
A Revelation of Jesus Christ –
A blessing for reading and hearing this prophecy. It must shortly come to pass. The first coming. Not the second. John the Baptist was preparing the way. John the Apostle knew this when he wrote to the seven churches. John Chrysostom, your brother, knew that when he was in Ephesus and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.

A Wilderness –
A preparation. Repent for the time is near for the first coming. The voice of John the Baptist. That was then and now the time is near for the second coming. The message is the same. Prepare the way. Repent. He is the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come. Get ready.

A Team Sport –
A sport, with eleven positions, football is the only real team sport. With each play 22 players must make a split second decision on what to do. Most can only watch. Very few get to play. Nearly everyone gets to play basketball. All you need is two players, a ball, and a basket.
A Servant of God –
A “lamb” and the “bare record” ties John the Baptist to the Apocalypse. Vischer holds the Apocalypse to have been originally a purely Jewish composition. It would not have included the seven churches that Eusebius and Victorinus failed to recognize. There is a reasonable explanation why they didn’t.

A Revelation –
A purely Jewish composition if you take away the churches and the name of Jesus, which is mentioned only 12 times. Lamb is mentioned 27 times. John the Baptist knew the Lamb of God. John the Apostle knew that. He also knew Jesus and the churches. He also knew about the followers of the Baptist in Ephesus.

A Record Of What Was –
A future that is unknown. Only history can be trusted. Everything else is fiction or someone’s fantasy. Historians police themselves. They all look at the same records and check to see if they are consistent with other records. History helps us understand what works and what doesn’t in books that you want to read if you want to know.
