A Horse
A color of a sea. A location. A clue. White, Red, and Black seas. A new approach to identifying the four horsemen. The Red and Black seas are almost obvious. The White sea not so much except for the fact that the Mediterranean sea is also known as the white sea. Constantine is from the Mediterranean aka white sea.

A Key Part Of The Apocalypse –
A beast with seven heads. There were seven dynasties of Rome and Chrysostom is the only John who could say five are fallen. This depends on Constantinople being Babylon the Great. Does it fit? No other city comes close. It can be found no more at all unless you have an old map. It is still a mystery and likely to remain so until the end when knowledge shall increase.
A Revelation In Storm And Thunder –
A Russian astronomer named Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov found it in the stars. A date for the Apocalypse and the name of the writer. John Chrysostom in 395. He was in Ephesus in 401 replacing seven corrupt bishops. This might be the third John, a brother, on the Isle of Patmos. It is just another sign to read.
A Third John –
A companion in tribulation. Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. He could have gone to Patmos for the word of God. He must have known about Jerome who was translating the bible and that many believed the Apocalypse didn’t belong in the bible unless of course it was written by the Apostle. He could find out.
A Translation Issue
A beast. Your bible could have as many as 296 beasts or as few as 87. There are 20 translations that consider the beast in Revelation 13:1 a ‘he’ and 37 translations call it an ‘it’. This is a significant difference. Daniel 7:7 can help us here. The fourth beast is an it in all 52 translations. It has ten horns just like the beast in Revelation.

A City Of God –
A bible defined. Augustine didn’t want another bible but Pope Damasus did for almost the same reason. A lot of confusion about what was in the bible. Augustine finally writes about the Apocalypse in chapter 7 of Book 20 in his City of God well after Jerome finished his Vulgate which would become the official bible of the Church.
A New Advent –
A place for letters to and from Jerome. Not only were his letters preserved but also his Vulgate and the Apocalypse. Was he more important than the pope? Letters from Pope Damasus who asked him to translate the bible, from Augustine who didn’t want another bible, and from Theophilus who was responsible for the exile of Chrysostom, all suggest he was.
A Commentary By Augustine
A bible that includes the Apocalypse Augustine comments on the Apocalypse after Jerome includes it in the Vulgate while Chrysostom was in Ephesus before he was exiled from Constantinople. Three major players in the early Church. Chrysostom, the greatest of them all, could not protect himself from the corruption in the Church. Jerome and Augustine somehow survived like their works.
A Desolation
A third temple has not happened and will not happen. Not one stone here will be left upon another. Daniel has three references to the abomination. The first one is Antiochus IV and he shall make it desolate. The second is the Umayyad dynasty and they shall place the Dome of the Rock which now stands in the holy place preventing the daily sacrifice.

A Turn Of The Fifth Century
A major player. Jerome was finishing his Vulgate and Augustine was starting his City of God. Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. The Church was in good hands. Jerome and Augustine exchanged letters. Chrysostom, who was exiled, exchanged letters with the pope. The Apocalypse was in the bible. These dots can now be connected.
