an astronomer and

A Date 

link Chrysostom to the Apocalypse.  The astronomer is Morozow.  The date is 395.  Gibbon taught me not to trust dates.  Baur taught me that it was January 401 when Chrysostom arrived in  Ephesus to replace seven bishops.  It would take three months.  Charles taught me about Morozow.  I had already suspected Chrysostom.  He was the only notable John around when five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come.  They being the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire.

John the Apostle

A Second John 

knows who bare record.  John the Apostle also knows the followers of the Baptist in Ephesus mentioned in Acts 19.  He added the churches, Antipas, and Jesus.  The Apostle confirmed that Jesus was the Lamb mentioned 27 times in the Apocalypse.

John the Baptist

A First John 

who bare record to prepare the way.  The Apocalypse is about the first coming, not the second.  Just read it without the churches, Antipas, and Jesus.  You will find what John the Baptist wrote.  A careful reading of Eusebius and Victorinus will show that they were not aware of the churches or Antipas.  There is only one explanation for this.  Their copy did not contain them.  The one written by John the Baptist.  Just search the Bible for the word ‘lamb‘ and you will find John knows the Lamb of God

Gibbon has

A Problem 

with dates and calendars.  He writes, “Forty-six years after the flight of Mahomet from Mecca, his disciples appeared in arms under the walls of Constantinople.” That would be 668.  “In this inquiry I shall unfold the events that rescued our ancestors of Britain, and our neighbours of Gaul, from the civil and religious yoke of the Koran;” Gibbon introduces the threat of Islam.  His 46 years become very interesting when you consider other calendars.

666

A Year 

nothing happened.  One historian gets close and the other gets it on the money but both require a calculation.  Norwich in his book “Byzantium” has “The ensuing strife continued until 661, when Ali’s own assassination left Muawiya supreme.  For the next five years the Muslim world would be in ferment – and Byzantium could breath again.”  Gibbon gets close with 668 but his account turns out to be more interesting.  We shall see.

in Daniel

A Number 

that can helps us with the number 666.  In Daniel 9:2 the word number refers to years.  John knows Daniel and this might be the clue we need.  So lets see if it fits.  What happened in the year 666?  What do the historians say?
