A Fulfillment of Prophecy
A connection with numbers that can be trusted. Your interpretation, not so much. Translators can’t be trusted but somehow they get the numbers right. If you have an ear, listen to what numbers and history can tell you. It is the only way the fulfillment of prophecy can be confirmed. Anything else is just someone’s interpretation.

A Color
A reliable clue tying history to prophecy. You can’t rely on anyone’s interpretation. You can’t rely on bible translations. There are over 60 different English translations. Do you have time to look at the differences? Who or what can you trust? Somehow they all agree on numbers and colors. It is a place to start.
A Sea
A location. The Red Sea and Black Sea are easy fits. The White Sea, not so much but the Mediterranean Sea aka the white sea can be a fit if you know what a bow is. A rainbow, a covenant based on Genesis 9:13. This points to Constantine, the third most significant person whoever lived. The rider of the white horse. –
A Crisis in the Church
A significant change by the pope. Life, marriage, and family are “forms and models of the past”. Francis modified its focus saying that the current situation “require an analytical and diversified approach, and does not allow us to limit ourselves to pastoral and missionary practices that reflect forms and models of the past.” –
A Great City
A capital of an empire that lasted a thousand years. Constantinople is Babylon the Great. The Byzantine Empire lasted a thousand years and its capital was Constantinople. At the start there were the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. At the end there was the tenth dynasty of Islam. All the pieces fit.

A Destruction of the Family
A destruction of the father.
“Why are we here today?” she asked.
“To make revolution,” they answered.
“What kind of revolution?” she replied.
“The Cultural Revolution,” they chanted.
“And how do we make Cultural Revolution?” she demanded.
“By destroying the American family!” they answered.
“How do we destroy the family?” she came back.
“By destroying the American Patriarch,” they cried exuberantly.
“And how do we destroy the American Patriarch?” she replied.
“By taking away his power!”
“How do we do that?”
“By destroying monogamy!” they shouted.
“How can we destroy monogamy?”
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
“By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality!” they resounded.
A Storm and Thunder
A Russian astronomer claimed John Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse in 395 based on astronomy. This John was in Ephesus at the beginning of 401. He could have said, “there are seven kings: five are fallen.” At the time, five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had fallen. Really.

A Cover for Evil
A failure to judge. A misinterpretation of the bible that allows evil to perpetuate. If you see something, say something. You may not find that in your bible nevertheless it is your duty to report anything that is amiss. Those who are in a position of authority will be held accountable for ignoring what has been reported. You will be held responsible for what you didn’t report.
A Brother on Patmos
A third John who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate that included the Apocalypse. At the time it was not clear if it would be. Jerome had to be convinced that it was written by the Apostle. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops at the beginning of the fifth century.

A Forgiveness
A cover for what is sinister. A wolf in sheep’s clothing. They talk about climate change, immigration, racism, and same sex unions. They clothe it with mercy and forgiveness for those who have failed us. Life, marriage, and family are being ignored as if no longer sacred. You will know them by their fruits.
