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.

A Grocery Store –
A day without a trip to the grocery store is like a day without sunshine. Quoting a friend of mine. We were two guys who preferred to talk about cooking than sports.

A Record of What Wasn’t –
A problem with Eusebius and Victorinus. They don’t seem to be aware of the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches but never associates them with the Apocalypse. Victorinus mentions the seven churches that Paul wrote to but not the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Was there a version of the Apocalypse that did not have the seven churches?

A White Horse –
A bow, not unlike the bow in Genesis 9:13, is a covenant between God and earth. The rider was Constantine from the Aegean or Mediterranean Sea aka the white sea. He started a Christian empire where they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Color is the key to identifying the four horseman.

A Happy Person –
A business smile is what I call it. No one wants to talk to someone who is having a bad day. Anger or hate doesn’t look good on anyone. Get over it. Put on a happy face.

A Reason for the Apocalypse –
A revelation of what must shortly come to pass. Why? To prepare the way for the first coming. The Lamb of God. Not the second coming. Jesus. Lamb is mentioned 27 times. Jesus is mentioned only 12 times. John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lamb of God. He didn’t know it was Jesus.

A Horse –
A color of a sea. A location. A clue. White, Red, and Black seas. A new approach to identifying the four horsemen. The Red and Black seas are almost obvious. The White sea not so much except for the fact that the Aegean or Mediterranean sea is also known as the white sea. Constantine is from the Aegean or Mediterranean aka white sea.

A Book Not Read –
A book named WordPress. I try to read what others like me are posting. “In The Shadow Of The Sword” by Tom Holland is the last book I sat down to read. A book about Islam that I had already read. Mohammed is a major player.

A Reason for Prophecy –
A search for understanding. Why, Where, Who, When, and What????? The answers should make sense. All the questions must be considered. For the most part we are limited to speculation which should be consistent with what we do know. The first question is Why. Why was the Apocalypse written?
