A Beast With Seven Heads
A dynasty. Rome had seven. Islam had ten. A thousand year Christian empire started with the fifth dynasty of Rome and ended with the tenth dynasty of Islam. Saladin fits the little horn. The “ten horns” ties the fourth beast of Daniel to the second beast of the Apocalypse. There are many other parts that fit.
A Problem with the Churches
A strange commentary by Victorinus. He mentions the churches Paul wrote to but not the ones John wrote to. This is hard to believe but it would be consistent with both Eusebius and Victorinus looking at the Apocalypse John the Baptist wrote and that would not include the seven churches.

A Church History
A problem with the churches. Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches of the Apocalypse but never associates them with the Apocalypse. He doesn’t mention Antipas. All this would be consistent with an earlier version of the Apocalypse written by John the Baptist. Victorinus has a similar problem.

A Holy Place
A daily sacrifice taken away. So what is in the holy place now preventing the third temple? The abomination of desolation. The Dome of the Rock. Placed by the fourth beast of Daniel. Islam. Rome, the third beast, destroyed the second temple.
A First Coming
A kingdom at hand. The time was near. John the Baptist knew the Lamb, a word used 27 times in the Apocalypse. He wrote the first one. Later John the apostle added Jesus and the seven churches. He knew about the followers of John the Baptist in Ephesus. There must be a third John.

A Prophecy Revealed In History
A connection with numbers and colors. All the different translations have something in common. In spite of their differences they agree on numbers and colors. They somehow survived all attempts to interpret the Word of God but they have been symbolized which may not help.
A Conjecture
A reasonable explanation to address what is not settled. Who wrote it? When was it written? Why was the Apocalypse written? The Apocalypse has “a decidedly Jewish complexion” and it was suggested that John the Baptist was the first writer. Others have suggested multiple writers.

A Sea Connection To The Four Horsemen
A bow, a covenant, in the hand of Constantine, the rider of the white horse from the white Aegean Sea. Mohammed, with a great sword, is the rider of the red horse from the Red Sea. Marx, with a pair of balances, is the rider of the black horse and the father of Communism from the Black Sea.
A Date for the Apocalypse
A bishop, John Chrysostom, is the writer according to the astronomer Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov who sets the date as 395. At this time five of the seven dynasties of Rome had fallen. Chrysostom was in Ephesus at the end of the fourth century. Would he not look for evidence of the most famous book of the bible?

A rider named death. A pale Sea of Azov connected to the Black Sea. A great tribulation in Ukraine. A sign of the times. A fit with the Red Sea, Islam, and the Black Sea, Communism. The Aegean Sea gives us Constantine, the rider of the white horse with a bow. A covenant.
