A Rider Named Death
A color of a polluted sea. Can you say climate change? Oh no Mr. Bill. A fate worse than death ushering in a New World Order with no need for religion. We now have science that tells us there are way too many people so abortion is just one of many solutions. Marx was right. Religion protecting life, marriage, and family is the biggest problem.

A Connection to John the Baptist
A Lamb of God. A “bare record” clearly points to John the Baptist. So does the word “lamb”. This also explains why the time is at hand. He was preparing the way for the first coming. John the apostle knew all this when he added the seven churches and Jesus to his version of the Apocalypse.

A John
A canon that only considers apostles. So why did they think John wasn’t the apostle? The apostle wouldn’t use his name five times. He wouldn’t say lamb more times then Jesus. The Baptist would since he didn’t know Jesus was the Lamb. The apostle knew who “bare record” and Jesus.

A City of God
A new bible translated by Jerome precedes Augustine’s commentary on the Apocalypse in The City of God. Prior to the Vulgate many believed the Apocalypse did not belong in the bible. This was settled once and for all by Jerome who had the authority to define the bible.

A Revelation
A testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is he that readeth. Augustine read it. “Why then read it if only to keep silence about it?” Understanding it is a challenge. You may not have time for this. You may not have that much time. It’s later than you think. You may need help understanding it. Ask for it.

A Home for Doubt
A necessary explanation for what we experience. We have to make sense of it. To ignore it is to deny reality. To deny objectivity. Call it speculation, conjecture, or whatever but please accept the fact that there must be a reason, a purpose, a meaning, etc.

A Number
A connection between history and prophecy that can be trusted. Your interpretation? Not so much. Your translation? Not so much except for numbers and colors. Somehow they have survived what translators do to the Word of God. Some things are sacred.

A Threat to Christianity
A great sword to take peace from the earth. Mohammed from the Red Sea is the rider and the founder of the beast of Islam. Christianity is not the only religion threatened by this beast. The history of Islam clearly demonstrates this. Islam is not the only threat to Christians.

A Threat to Chrisianity
A balanced approach to society sounds good at first but somehow it makes religion the enemy. It is the opium of the people but “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” is what Jesus would expect and would require a pair of balances.

A Kingdom To Aspire To
A news of the world to distract us. Give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. We can’t ignore Caesar but don’t forget the real goal. Eternal life. Life is good. The suffering in this world is part of the test to see what we will do about it. It’s a test of our free will. We are only free to do what is right. There are consequences.
