A Quality Of Life Improved –
A morning bike ride. It started with walking but in case you haven’t heard, too much walking over 70 is hard on the joints. Exercise is important but some kind of meditation comes first. Talking with God. Don’t forget that part.

A Servant of God –
A “lamb” and the “bare record” ties John the Baptist to the Apocalypse. Vischer holds the Apocalypse to have been originally a purely Jewish composition. It would not have included the seven churches that Eusebius and Victorinus failed to recognize. There is a reasonable explanation why they didn’t.

A Revelation –
A purely Jewish composition if you take away the churches and the name of Jesus, which is mentioned only 12 times. Lamb is mentioned 27 times. John the Baptist knew the Lamb of God. John the Apostle knew that. He also knew Jesus and the churches. He also knew about the followers of the Baptist in Ephesus.

A Reason Why –
A salt question for AI. I call him AI. He says salt causes water retention. So how does drinking water reduce water retention? It gets rid of the salt. Sounds like a circular argument. It’s complicated, says AI. Salt is a necessary ingredient. Thank you AI.

A Lamb of God –
A voice crying is the wilderness. The word “lamb” is mentioned 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Baptist knew the “Lamb of God”. He was preparing the way for “the time is at hand”. John the Baptist did not know Jesus was the Lamb of God. John the Apostle knew that and was also aware of his following.

A Fulfillment –
A history is necessary to confirm the fulfillment of a prophecy. The future can be anything you want it to be to satisfy your interpretation. History and the numbers that connect it to prophecy can confirm the accuracy of your interpretation. Only the prophet knows the future. We can only know history.

A Soupy Sales –
A kid that never grew up. Who could forget White Fang and Black Tooth? Today it would be racist. Was I too sick to go to school? I got to stay home and watch Soupy. Who is at the door? Thanks for the memory. Old enough to remember.

A Witness –
A Church History that includes six of the seven churches that John wrote to but Eusebius never associates them with the Apocalypse. Victorinus doesn’t even mention them. Is it possible there is a version of Apocalypse that doesn’t include the seven churches? It could be a reasonable explanation for what we are looking at.

A Number –
A reliable connection between prophecy and history. Your interpretation not so much. All the different translations of the bible seem to agree on numbers. Especially a “thousand years” when they reigned with Christ. Not the “reign of Christ” which will get over 5 million hits on the internet. Not so much with the bible. 0 Bible results for “”reign of Christ”.” Something to think about.

A Light Before The Dawn –
A drive thru the night. My brother and I had a regular mattress in the back of the old station wagon. I took the first leg in the evening and was able to sleep a few hours before and after midnight. On my second shift I was driving “in the light before the dawn”. A favorite line in a song. It was the first time I witnessed the sky getting lighter and will never forget it. I often ride my bike at this time.
