A White Horse For Freedom
A Red Horse for one religion. A Black Horse with no religion. A Pale Horse with death and destruction for all. Refugees everywhere and all you can do is pray. Christians, Muslims, and Communists can’t agree on freedom. All have to deal with death and the consequences of decisions made. So what are you doing about climate change? Praying?
A Church History
A dog that didn’t bark. A commentary that doesn’t include the seven churches. A Church history that doesn’t connect the seven churches with the Apocalypse. Is there a reasonable explanation? Their version of the Apocalypse did not mention the seven churches. There are other reasons to suspect this.

A Man Made Crisis
A hippocratic oath. “First do no harm”. We have problems to solve. We can’t afford to create new ones. Decisions have consequences. Bad decisions will unify our country but there must be a better way. We need to address the real problems, not the perceived ones.
A Time
A writer. It was written by John on Patmos. Don’t know when or which John. Are there three of them? Why does John introduce himself three or four times? These questions have not been answered so we are forced to speculate based on what was written by those who read what no longer exists. What were they looking at?

A Consequence of Decisions Made
A problem created. A common sense solution. If it hurts when you do that, stop doing it. Stop creating problems. Is this the solution to climate change? Is this the cure for Covid? If the cures are hurting us, maybe we should try living with the perceived problems.
A Theory
A few have suggested multiple writers of the Apocalypse. Vischer held that the Apocalypse was “originally a purely Jewish composition”. – Josephine Massyngbaerde Ford may have been the first to suggest it was first written by John the Baptist. Considering these possibilities can lead to a better understanding.

A Bishop’s Bread of Life
A cake for a same sex marriage. A blessing for a same sex marriage. An issue for the courts and the Church. A baker can’t approve but a bishop can. A baker unknowingly sells bread to a baby killer. The bishop knowingly gives the Bread of Life to a baby killer.
A Time
A coming. A preparation. We should be preparing for the second coming but at the time the Apocalypse was first written they could have been preparing for the first coming. Not a common belief but a few have proposed this as a possibility. It is not unreasonable to consider this. Watch for a reasonable explanation.

A Distribution Problem
A capitalist solution is to increase profits by making more bread. A marxist solution is to increase power by controlling who gets what. A baker’s solution is a gun to protect his bread. A christian solution is to pray and share. Good luck with that.
A Search for Truth
A hidden prophecy to be revealed in the end. How? To those who watch? Watch for what? Something that fits with what has been prophesied. Based on your interpretation? Based on a certain bible translation? Is there anything that they agree on? Yes. Numbers and colors. Try connecting history and prophecy with just numbers and colors.
