A Thing –
A wearing today. Underwear. The oldest. No need for new ones if they are still functional. So what’s new?
a clothing now
a destruction
A Temple –
A beast in the making. Babylon and Rome destroyed the first and second Temples. They are beasts. Greece is also a beast based on the desecration of the second Temple by Antiochus IV Epiphanes. What is in the holy place now preventing the third Temple? The Dome of the Rock makes Islam the fourth beast.

a necessary question
A Reason for the Apocalypse –
A revelation of what must shortly come to pass. Why? To prepare the way for the first coming. The Lamb of God. Not the second coming. Jesus. Lamb is mentioned 27 times. Jesus is mentioned only 12 times. John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lamb of God. He didn’t know it was Jesus.

a leader or a follower?
A Good Question –
A reluctant leader. Primarily a follower. I have followed all who have commented on the Apocalypse. Most of what I present has already been presented by others. My only contribution is interpretation with the use of numbers and colors to connect history to prophecy.
a beast
A Temple –
A revelation in Daniel. What makes a beast a beast? Daniel knows beasts and abominations. Jesus wanted us to pay attention to them. An abomination is something that you do to the holy place. The Temple. Only a beast would mess with the Temple. With only two Temples, how do you get four beasts?

a number of questions
A Reason for Prophecy –
A search for understanding. Why, Where, Who, When, and What????? The answers should make sense. All the questions must be considered. For the most part we are limited to speculation which should be consistent with what we do know. The first question is Why. Why was the Apocalypse written?

a favorite fruit
A Top Five –
A prune, grape, apple, lime, banana,
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 small improvement
A Better Life –
A big change is needed. Being nice to my wife is a good start. She is my neighbor. If I can’t be nice to her, what good am I for others?
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.
