A Responsibility –
A giving unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. First give unto God the things that are His. We see the Church corrupted by the former and not paying attention to the latter. Pray for the new pope.

A Sign In The Sky –
A suggestion that John Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse 30 September 395. Made by Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov, an astronomer, according to R. H. Charles in his book, “Studies in the Apocalypse: Being Lectures Delivered before the University of London”. A book worth reading.

a fit with history
A Fit With Numbers –
A thousand year empire starting with the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire and ending with the tenth dynasty of Islam. The first beast, Rome, whose deadly wound was healed was replaced by the second beast Islam. The Byzantine Empire fits with all the numbers you can trust. You can’t trust interpretation of prophecy.

A Shepherd –
A guide. The Lord is my shepherd. He will guide me. A statement of belief. I look for signs. Sometimes they are not clear. In my dreams they are not clear but I do try to understand them. Meditation is necessary.

A Third John –
A patriarch was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. At the time five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had already fallen and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. He may have needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse to translate. John Chrysostom was someone you could trust.

A Mystery –
A misinterpretation. Even Peter knew he was in Babylon. Some are still looking for his bones south of Baghdad. That is the real mystery but Rome having seven hills was never a mystery. The seven hills of Constantinople is still a mystery and likely to remain so. It will never fit with their narrative.

A Favorite One –
A quote by Edmund Burke: “Never despair, but if you do, work on in despair.”

A Question Asked –
A question not answered. It is not about Jesus. It is about the Lamb. It is not about the second coming. It is about the first coming. It is all about preparing the way. A job for John the Baptist who bare record. John the Apostle added Jesus and the churches. The second John. Who is the third?

a reliable connection
A Prophecy Fulfilled In History –
A number to connect them. Numbers have survived translation errors and agenda driven interpretations. Numbers can be reliably used to identify historical events that seem to fulfill prophecies. Look for all the key numbers like a thousand, 666, ten, and seven. See if they fit. See if they make sense.

a beast
A Whore –
A fit with history. Constantinople is Babylon the Great and Islam is the beast that hated the whore. It is a mystery and likely to remain so but the fit with history cannot be denied. It is fallen, is fallen, and can be found no more at all. It had merchants. It has many waters. It has seven mountains. No other city fits like Constantinople.
