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.
A Prophecy Fulfilled –
A reliable connection with numbers and colors. Without them, your interpretation cannot be trusted. Translators cannot be trusted. What can be trusted? A literal sense of the word if it has been translated as such. The meaning of a word does not translate well which makes interpretation nearly impossible. It must be revealed. The wise will understand.

A Conjecture –
A reasonable explanation to address what is not settled. Who wrote it? When was it written? Why was the Apocalypse written? The Apocalypse has “a decidedly Jewish complexion” and it was suggested that John the Baptist was the first writer. Others have suggested multiple writers. All named John.

A Sunny Day –
A time when you can sit in the sun and not get hot. My favorite type of weather. This is how you get vitamin D, which is very important. Eggs are a good source when the sun doesn’t shine.
A Color –
A connection with history and prophecy. The translators didn’t know the meaning of numbers and colors so they were forced to use the literal sense of these words. With many of the other words they were able to translate the meaning and that is why we have so many different versions of the bible. We can’t understand any of it until it is revealed to us and when it is we will know that the end is near. And that’s the truth.

A Date for the Apocalypse –
A bishop, John Chrysostom, is the writer according to the astronomer Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov who sets the date as 395. At this time five of the seven dynasties of Rome had fallen. Chrysostom was in Ephesus at the end of the fourth century. Would he not look for evidence of the most famous book of the bible? Was Chrysostom the third John of the Apocalypse?

A Math Lesson –
A store in the classroom. It was just a counter with shelves that a few fathers built with 2×4’s on a Saturday morning. Everyone in all eight grades was asked to bring in a can of food. Using real money, each student would buy and sell two or three cans and make change. At the end of the year the cans were donated to a charity.
A Meaning –
A tool for communicating. The translators couldn’t agree on the meaning of certain words. That is why there are 60 different English versions of the Bible. What do they agree on? Numbers and colors. This may be the only reliable connection of history and prophecy. Our interpretation of what has been prophesied must take this into account. Trust numbers and colors.

A Third John –
A confirmation that the apostle wrote the Apocalypse was necessary to get it in the Bible which was being translated and defined by Jerome. Just before the Vulgate was completed John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. Jerome needed a reliable version of the Apocalypse. A third John who also am your brother.

A Long Day –
A need to get more sleep. I wish I could get more sleep. Can you reach more nations by posting in the middle of the night? Probably not but here I am with my coffee doing the daily prompt when I should be sleeping. Falling asleep in the middle of the day does not work.
