A Big Part
A key to understanding the Apocalypse. They reigned with Christ a thousand years. The Byzantine Empire has all the pieces. Babylon the Great. Seven Heads. Ten Horns. Two Beasts. All the pieces fit. The numbers fit. They fit with Daniel. This is where you start.

A New Jerusalem
A new earth with no more sea. Just a river. It is here now. Just as Jerusalem was the center of the Jewish religion, Rome, the New Jerusalem is the center of the Christian religion. See the map. A river and twelve gates. Three in each direction.

A Sea
A location. The color of the horses is a clue from whence they came. Start with the Red and Black seas. The white sea is a little tricky. It is the Mediterranean aka white sea according to the Turks. Like numbers, colors are translated accurately. No room for interpretation. The translators all agree on numbers and colors.

A Necessary Ingredient
A job for a man. Just be there. The police are there to protect you. They deserve your respect. Respect for authority starts with a father. The mother should know how important he is. The Church should be teaching this. Are you? St. Joseph pray for us.
A Threat to Christianity
A threat to peace. The rider was Mohammed who was given a great sword. History records all the battles that can be attributed to Islam, the religion of peace. It started at the Red Sea. The Russians from the Black sea slowed them down but they must still be reckoned with.

A Faith
A charity. It starts with hope. It starts with wanting something and the belief that it is obtainable. It ends with charity, the fruit of a good person. Jesus gave us hope with a promise of eternal life. He also made it possible. You might be saved. It is now up to you.
A Testimony of Jesus Christ
A “bare record”. It was John the Baptist “who bare record”. It was John the Apostle who wrote “to the seven churches”. It was John Chrysostom, “who also am your brother”, who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate and needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse. Three Johns.

A Revelation
A purpose was to prepare the way for the first coming. John the Baptist was to introduce the Lamb of God to the world. The word “lamb” can be found 27 times in the Apocalypse. “Jesus” only 12 times. The word “Jesus” could have been added later by John the Apostle who knows John the Baptist knows the Lamb of God.

A Him Or An It
A translation problem. Can you find the beast if you are looking for a “him” instead of an “it”? In Revelation 13:1; 20 have “his horns”, 20 have “its horns”, 15 have “It had ten horns” . We need Daniel 7:7 to clear this up. “it had ten horns” is a clear winner. You need to look for an “it” and not a “him” to find the beast. It makes a difference.

A Daughter
A king of the north. A fit with Islam. Fatimah, daughter of Mohammed who was king of the south, would have to deal with Muawiyah after he became the king of the north. The Umayyad dynasty, started by Muawiyah, placed the abomination that maketh desolate. The Dome of the Rock. These are fits with Daniel that are a fit with the Apocalypse.
