A Fourth Of The Earth
was given to the rider of the pale horse. Death is the rider. We are all going to die. It is just a matter of time which may now be near two thousand years later. Is the cure worse than the disease? Be not afraid. Be reasonable. Be kind.

A Location
when applied to seas. Few are aware that the Mediterranean sea is the white sea for the Turks. The colors become significant locations west, south, and north of Patmos where the Apocalypse was written. It can help us identify the riders of the white, red, and black horses.
A Prophecy
a prediction of what is to come. A pale horse and death its rider can’t be identified without first identifying the riders of the white, red, and black horses. Like numbers all 59 English versions of the bible agree on colors. They must be significant and the color of the seas should be considered.

A Purpose
to reliably inform those who are being persecuted. The good guys win in the end but in the mean time there will be suffering to overcometh. Suffering is a necessary part of the test. We are being tested. Some bibles actually use the word ‘test‘. Have you tested your bible?

A Connection
of dots that fit with what you know. To reveal a clearer picture, missing dots must be added. History and numbers will limit the placement of these dots. Your interpretation is limited only by your agenda and we all have one. History and numbers can be trusted. Your interpretation, not so much.
A Necessary Question
when developing a reasonable explanation. Speculation on the unknown must be consistent with what is known. Why speculate? Only the wise know and understand. Many don’t want to know. Don’t worry about them. It is our job to know and understand.

A Number
dots are difficult to connect. Look for the numbers. You can’t misinterpret them. The translators all agree on the numbers. Except for dates. Historians love dates but they often can’t get them right. They can’t even agree on which calendar to use. Who gets to start a calendar? Mark your calendar. Save a date.
A Necessary Thing
to make sense of what we know. There has been a lot of confusion over the Apocalypse. Who wrote it? When? Why is it in the Bible? To address what we don’t know, we must try to make sense of what we do know. We may be able to come up with a reasonable explanation.

A Third John
who also am your brother was in Ephesus not too far from Patmos in the year 401 when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate 405. The big question was whether it should include the Apocalypse. Jerome had to be convinced it was written by John the Apostle. Chrysostom would also need that proof. He had three months to get it.
A Major Player
who wrote about the Apocalypse. What he wrote is not as significant as when he wrote it. Augustine addresses the Apocalypse in chapter 7 of book 20 in City of God which was completed as late as 426 ce. Well after Jerome completed his Vulgate in 410 ce. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus in 401 ce. Can you connect the dots?
