A Purpose –
A meaning to understand. Something to think about. Most people may not understand that life is a “test”. A word you may not find in your bible. There must be a reason. If you don’t believe this, you won’t look for it. And that’s the truth.
A Dynasty –
A commentary by Newton who saw the connection between the Apocalypse and Daniel. He also believed the “ten horns” they had in common referred to dynasties. Same for the “seven heads” so the historian should be looking for beasts with seven or ten dynasties. Only historians can count them.

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 Dedication to Prophecy –
A commentary by Isaac Newton never completed but is now published and available on Kindle for only 99 cents so you can easily search it. Find out his views on dynasties and their connection to seven heads and ten horns. Newton was a historian and believed much of prophecy had already happened and has been revealed. Interesting.

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 Goal Interfered With –
A mission to reveal what I have learned. A need to say no to distractions. What have I learned? I can’t say no to distractions. What is my goal? To finish the race, fight the good fight, and keep the faith. Thank you Paul.
A Newton Project –
A commentary on the Apocalypse. “Amongst the Interpreters of the last age there is scarce one of note who hath not made some discovery worth knowing; and thence I seem to gather that God is about opening these mysteries. The success of others put me upon considering it; and if I have done anything which may be useful to following writers, I have my design.” Interesting.

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 Man of Few Words –
A wish to communicate with the fewest words possible. As a veteran of forums where posts were way too long, I have always tried to keep mine short. I have been told and believe that ‘less is more’. This is long enough.
