A Crisis in the Church –
A reason to pray. Pray? Heal thyself. According to Canon 212 the laity has the “duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church”. Don’t leave the Church. Don’t just pray. Stay and fight for what you believe to be right. It is your duty.

A Someone To Interview –
A question and answer. This is a tough one. Who has time to answer my questions? I don’t know what questions to ask. The question can be more important than the answer.

A Sacred Bible –
A list of books that might not contain the Apocalypse at the end of the fourth century. John Chrysostom, who never quoted the Apocalypse, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century and Jerome was finishing his Vulgate. Was Chrysostom able to confirm that the Apocalypse was written by the Apostle?

A Church –
A star and a light for the world. A Guide. The seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Those churches no longer exist. Christianity no longer exists there. Replaced with Islam. The churches in Europe are also being replaced and Muslims are rapidly taking over.

A New Dailyprompt –
A chance to stop and think about how I feel about the latest dailyprompt. How do I feel about thinking? Sometimes we think too much according to my dad. I felt good about that because he recognized how much time I spent thinking. I think feeling is a reaction. Not necessarily bad. I feel good about thinking.

A Revelation of Jesus Christ –
A blessing for reading and hearing this prophecy. It must shortly come to pass. The first coming. Not the second. John the Baptist was preparing the way. John the Apostle knew this when he wrote to the seven churches. John Chrysostom, your brother, knew that when he was in Ephesus and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.

A Wilderness –
A preparation. Repent for the time is near for the first coming. The voice of John the Baptist. That was then and now the time is near for the second coming. The message is the same. Prepare the way. Repent. He is the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come. Get ready.

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.
