A Great City
a beast that was, is not, and is yet to come. Constantinople can be found no more at all. It comes with two beasts. It started with the Roman Empire and ended with the Ottoman Empire a thousand years later.

a mark
A Number
a year, a starting point, a date. Nearly all products have a mark or a date marking the beginning of its existence. A beast will also have a starting point and in most cases an end point. There could be an exception. One was diverse from all the beasts that were before it. How do we identify a beast?

a number
A Starting Point
a thousand years in history where they reigned with Christ. The “reign of Christ” cannot be found in the bible. Only on the internet. Go figure. Start with the big number. There’s only one. No interpretation required. The smaller numbers are not so hard to find.

a little book
A Prophecy
a second time. John the Apostle ate the little book that John the Baptist wrote and was told to prophesy again. Chrysostom, the third John, did the same. These are the three Johns in the first chapter of the Apocalypse. Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book for the time is near.
he ate
A Book
and was told to prophesy again. Why would John eat a little book? To get it into the bible. It is in the bible because certain key players believed it was written by the Apostle. So who wrote the little book that John ate? The Baptist. He was preparing the way for the Lamb.

a history
A Commentary
a revelation without the churches. An Apocalypse written by John the Baptist would not have the seven churches. A careful reading of Eusebius and Victorinus is consistent with this. The Baptist would use the word lamb about 27 times in his Apocalypse. John the Baptist was preparing the way for the Lamb.
what was he looking at?
A Commentary
by Victorinus on the Apocalypse. He mentions the seven churches that Paul wrote to but not the ones John wrote to. Eusebius has the same problem. He mentions six of the seven churches of the Apocalypse but never associates any of them with the Apocalypse. What was he looking at?

let him be filthy still
A Difficult Saying
especially when it involves victims. Can you allow the filthy to be filthy and still be righteous? Not if there are victims. The silence must end. Expose the filth. Protect the vulnerable. Predators should not get a second chance. Don’t ordain them.
