A Fly Rod –
A camera and speakers not necessarily personal. Gone fishing. The one thing to do all by myself. The movie, “A River Runs Through It”, convinced me to try it.

A Problem with Dates –
A history of Rome by Gibbon. Go ahead, pick an Islamic calendar converter and put 46 in it. You get 666. 46 is the number Gibbon used. 46 years after the Hijri year Constantinople was attacked. A date is a mark. Gibbon notes the problems with dates. There are other ways to get to 666. Stay tuned.

A Dynasty –
A beast. What makes a beast? The temple. Don’t mess with the temple. Daniel’s beasts did. Babylon destroyed the first temple. Greece desecrated the second. Rome destroyed the second. Islam is preventing the third. Enter the Dome of the Rock. What is now in the holy place spoken of by Jesus?

A List Or Just One? –
A start with a list: Bishop Barron, Father Leo, Father Goring, Matt Fradd, Raymond Arroyo, Dr. Jordan Peterson, Franciscan University Presents, Glenn Beck,…. Can’t name one. Can’t leave one out. EWTN

A Year –
A date, a beginning, a start, a mark. Nearly every product sold today has a date marking its beginning. The word “number” in Daniel refers to years. Historians are good at ignoring what may have happened in the year 666 but we do know Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople about that time.

A Dynasty –
A hatred of the whore. Constantinople, Babylon the Great, fell to the tenth dynasty of Islam in 1453. This ended a thousand year Christian empire that started with the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. Behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. The “ten horns” ties the fourth beast of Daniel to the second beast of John.

A Plane Geometry –
A solid geometry class. Just five of us. We were told how lucky we were to have this young nun who was the only one who could teach it. A logical approach to prove a statement. A truth proven. A geometric argument. An objective outlook. Look for what is true.

A Great Sultan –
A fit with Daniel. Saladin came out of the Fatimid Caliphate, the fourth of ten Islamic dynasties, and would start the fifth, the Ayyubid dynasty. We also have the Battle of the Horns of Hama and the Battle of the Horns of Hattin. Saladin was involved in both of them. He not only beat the crusaders, he beat Richard the Lionheart. It’s a fit.

A Great City –
A mystery and likely to remain so. Constantinople can be found no more at all and the merchants of the earth shall weep over the city with many waters and seven hills. Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen. 1204 and 1453. No other city has all these characteristics. Babylon the Great is Constantinople.

A Priority Set –
A second screen for current affairs. That is in third place. Research is 2nd. WordPress is job one. Sometimes I need to turn off the second screen to concentrate on the other..
