A Search Of The Internet –
A sign of the times that knowledge will increase in the end. A prediction by Daniel. “Many shall run to and fro.” Not too long ago, all we had were books that were hard to find. Now we can find everything but it is hard to know what to believe and for that we need guidance. For that we just need to ask. Seek and you shall find and it will be open to you.

A Search for Truth –
A “love of truth seeks a holy leisure“, a Thomas quote of Augustine. Few have the time to devote to pure research and those who do need to share what they have learned. The internet makes this possible. Knowledge shall be increased. Search engines allow others to find what has been discovered. Seek, and ye shall find.

A Dynasty –
A commentary by Newton who saw the connection between the Apocalypse and Daniel. He also believed the “ten horns” they had in common referred to dynasties. Same for the “seven heads” so the historian should be looking for beasts with seven or ten dynasties. Only historians can count them.

A Problem With The Churches –
A strange commentary by Victorinus. He mentions the churches Paul wrote to but not the ones John wrote to. This is hard to believe but it would be consistent with both Eusebius and Victorinus looking at the Apocalypse John the Baptist wrote and that would not include the seven churches.

A Dedication to Prophecy –
A commentary by Isaac Newton never completed but is now published and available on Kindle for only 99 cents so you can easily search it. Find out his views on dynasties and their connection to seven heads and ten horns. Newton was a historian and believed much of prophecy had already happened and has been revealed. Interesting.

A Church History –
A problem with the churches. Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches of the Apocalypse but never associates them with the Apocalypse. He doesn’t mention Antipas. All this would be consistent with an earlier version of the Apocalypse written by John the Baptist. Victorinus has a similar problem.

A Newton Project –
A commentary on the Apocalypse. “Amongst the Interpreters of the last age there is scarce one of note who hath not made some discovery worth knowing; and thence I seem to gather that God is about opening these mysteries. The success of others put me upon considering it; and if I have done any thing which may be useful to following writers, I have my design.” Interesting.

A First Coming –
A kingdom at hand. The time was near. John the Baptist knew the Lamb, a word used 27 times in the Apocalypse. He wrote the first one. Later John the apostle added Jesus and the seven churches. He knew about the followers of John the Baptist in Ephesus. There must be a third John.

A Prophecy Fulfilled –
A reliable connection with numbers and colors. Without them, your interpretation cannot be trusted. Translators cannot be trusted. What can be trusted? A literal sense of the word if it has been translated as such. The meaning of a word does not translate well which makes interpretation nearly impossible. It must be revealed. The wise will understand.

A Conjecture –
A reasonable explanation to address what is not settled. Who wrote it? When was it written? Why was the Apocalypse written? The Apocalypse has “a decidedly Jewish complexion” and it was suggested that John the Baptist was the first writer. Others have suggested multiple writers. All named John.
