A Book of Revelation
a bare record. A revelation to shew unto his servants. That’s plural. There is more than one John. John the Baptist who bare record. John the Apostle to the seven churches. John Chrysostom who also am your brother. It’s complicated but I can explain if you are really interested.

A Meditation
a quiet time. A necessary silence. A chance to listen to God. What you need is guidance. Ask for it. Seek it. Receive it. Knock and it shall be open unto you. You have a job to do. Find out what it is and then do it. It will be revealed to you. Just ask for it when you are in that quiet space.
A Reasonable Explanation
a history of the Apocalypse. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. It would become the official bible of the Church. It would confirm once and for all that the Apocalypse belonged in the bible. Before that the jury was out. Chrysostom was just one of those who didn’t accept the Apocalypse. What could be the reason?

A Free Expression of Beliefs
a brick thrown, glass broken, end of the discussion. No more freedom. The brick thrower belongs in jail. He can’t be trusted. He is interfering with your freedom. Your freedom is protected as long as it doesn’t interfere with the freedom of others. It’s not that complicated.
A Father
a respect for life, marriage, and family. A respect for authority. A respect for the property of others. It all starts with a father in the home. The teachings of the Church are being ignored and being replaced with talk about climate change. These people can’t be trusted. Start with the sanctity of life and all other truths will follow. Protect the child.
A Recapitulation
a commentary on the Apocalypse by Victorinus who introduced the theory of recapitulation. Without it misinterpretation is likely. The visions of John cannot be understood to be in chronological order. Each vision should be considered independent of the others. Some are a repetition of others. Recapitulation is a necessary tool in understanding the Apocalypse.

A Peaceful Protest
a dark protest. Why do they do it at night? It is the best time to throw bricks, spray paint, start fires, and loot buildings. Why would the peaceful protesters want to be on the streets when all that is going on? We should limit protesting to daylight hours so they don’t interfere with the rioting.
A Passage in Daniel
a reference to years. What happened in the year 666? What calendar do you use? What calendar was in effect? John understood Daniel. Daniel understood by books the number of the years. John sends us to the Old Testament for clues. John understood by books. John understood the Lamb of God. Do you understand?

A Father
a family must have a father. Don’t let the village raise your child. Don’t get rid of the baby. Don’t get rid of the father. A father in the home is the best thing for your baby. Don’t let the feminists distort your thinking. The teachings of the Church protect the child. The Church teaches the sanctity of life, marriage, and family.
A Julian Calendar
a beginning in 44 BC. 622 in the Gregorian calendar, which began in 1582, was the beginning of the Islamic calendar. 666 in the Julian calendar marked the start of Islam. A number in Daniel 9:2 refers to the number of years. That is what Daniel understood by books.
