A Prophecy
A chance to be blessed. Seven chances to be blessed in the Apocalypse. This book can change your life. These are difficult times. Understanding this book is difficult. It has been hijacked by many to promote their agenda. Don’t give up. Blessed are those who overcometh, readeth, watcheth, and keepeth. There is hope.

A Search for Truth
A “love of truth seeks a holy leisure“, a Thomas quote of Augustine. Few have the time to devote to pure research and those who do need to share what they have learned. The internet makes this possible. Knowledge shall be increased. Search engines allow others to find what has been discovered.

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 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 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 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 Third John
A confirmation that the apostle wrote the Apocalypse was necessary to get it in the Bible which was being translated and defined by Jerome. Just before the Vulgate was completed John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. Jerome needed a reliable version of the Apocalypse.

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.
