A Better Listener –
A suggestion from my father. Don’t forget to listen. He knew me well. I spent too much time thinking about what I was going to say. It is time to listen.

a storm
A Sign In The Sky –
A suggestion that John Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse 30 September 395. Made by Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov, an astronomer, according to R. H. Charles in his book, “Studies in the Apocalypse: Being Lectures Delivered before the University of London”. A book worth reading.

a fit with history
A Fit With Numbers –
A thousand year empire starting with the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire and ending with the tenth dynasty of Islam. The first beast, Rome, whose deadly wound was healed was replaced by the second beast Islam. The Byzantine Empire fits with all the numbers you can trust. You can’t trust interpretation of prophecy.

A Night Person –
A good marriage. We all need time alone to think. She is a night person. Lucky me.

a brother
A Third John –
A patriarch was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. At the time five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had already fallen and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. He may have needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse to translate. John Chrysostom was someone you could trust.

a great city
A Mystery –
A misinterpretation. Even Peter knew he was in Babylon. Some are still looking for his bones south of Baghdad. That is the real mystery but Rome having seven hills was never a mystery. The seven hills of Constantinople is still a mystery and likely to remain so. It will never fit with their narrative.

a feeling about eating meat
A Good Thing –
A moderation. An efficient way to get the necessary nutrients. For me it is hamburger and chicken two or three times a week. I also believe in abstaining from meat at least once a week. Like on Friday. Like some kind of fish. Like tuna.

a reason why
A Question Asked –
A question not answered. It is not about Jesus. It is about the Lamb. It is not about the second coming. It is about the first coming. It is all about preparing the way. A job for John the Baptist who bare record. John the Apostle added Jesus and the churches. The second John. Who is the third?

a beast
A Whore –
A fit with history. Constantinople is Babylon the Great and Islam is the beast that hated the whore. It is a mystery and likely to remain so but the fit with history cannot be denied. It is fallen, is fallen, and can be found no more at all. It had merchants. It has many waters. It has seven mountains. No other city fits like Constantinople.

a favorite thing to wear
A T Shirt –
A pair of shorts. When the weather allows it. I need to be warm so a long sleeve T shirt is needed along with long pants in the winter. I still need the shorts and the short sleeve T shirt when the sun shines in the winter.
