A Revelation –
A testimony of an amateur’s research. An interpretation of prophecy based on numbers and colors. Only history can verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Only a history connected to a prophecy with numbers and colors can be trusted.
A Temple –
A beast in the making. What makes a beast a beast? Daniel knows beasts and the abomination of desolation mentioned by Jesus. Babylon destroyed the first temple. Greece desecrated the second and Rome destroyed it. Islam and the Dome of the Rock is preventing the third. The four beasts of Daniel.

A History of the Church –
A dog that didn’t bark. Eusebius never associates the churches with the Apocalypse. He does mention six of the seven churches but does not connect them with the Apocalypse. Since Victorinus has the same problem, it suggests that there may have been a version of the Apocalypse that didn’t have the seven churches.

A Time To Reflect –
A slow death. Having already exceeded life expectancy, you have to avoid doctors who want to fix it even though you are not suffering. More doctor visits, more tests, more procedures that don’t sound as scary as an operation, etc. No thank you.
A Fulfillment of Prophecy –
A victory over the beast. Constantinople used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara, like a sheet of glass, and the year was 666. The problem with dates was noted by Gibbon. His 46 years gets you 668 but put it in an Islamic calendar converter, a calculation, and you will get exactly 666. An amazing fit with Revelation 15:2.

A Commentary on the Apocalypse –
A dog that didn’t bark. Victorinus didn’t mention the churches. He does mention the seven churches that Paul wrote to. So why not mention the seven churches that John wrote to? It is possible that his version of the Apocalypse didn’t have the seven churches. We need to look at Eusebius to see if he has the same problem.

A New Routine –
A time to listen. A time to think. Is it possible to spend less time thinking and more time listening? Not if you don’t like what you are hearing. That’s what I think.
A Number –
A count in some bibles. Another example where the translators can’t agree on the Word of God but they are in complete agreement with numbers. Only numbers can be trusted to tie what has been prophesied to historical events that confirm the fulfillment of those prophecies. You can count on them.

A History –
A witness to what no longer exists. What was Victorinus looking at when he wrote his Commentary on the Apocalypse? What was Eusebius looking at when he wrote his Church History? We can only speculate based on what they wrote, what they didn’t write, and what is reasonable. Can we make sense of it? It makes more sense than most interpretations.

A Statement –
A guidance. Keep your eye on the road. Stay in your lane. Watch for signs. Stop reading this sign. Keep your eye on the road. Think.
