A Time To Think –
A yes, maybe no. I don’t know, is my instinctive reaction. I trust that. Think first. Trust that. Instincts no.

a trust in your instincts?
a black horse
A Black Sea –
A pair of balances something needed to feed the masses who use religion as one might use opium. Marx is the rider and the horse is communism from the Black Sea. Marx is the father of communism that considers religion to be the enemy. This is the second great threat to Christianity and any religion for that matter.

a favorite month
A Spring Green –
A first flower. April. No more freezing. Pots can stay out. Trips to the nursery. Open windows. More time on the patio. Watching things grow. Getting the shorts out. Bird watching.

a conjecture
A Jewish Composition –
A German scholar Vischer held that the Apocalypse was “originally a purely Jewish composition”. Taking away the seven churches and the 12 references to Jesus and you are left with the word “lamb” mentioned 27 times. John the Baptist prepared the way for The Lamb of God. He could have written the original Apocalypse.

a red horse
A Red Sea –
A great sword to take peace from the earth. The rider is Mohammed and the horse is Islam from the Red Sea. The ten dynasties of Islam fit the ten horns in Daniel and the Apocalypse. The Antichrist would start a so-called religion equal to the Christian one. Numbers and colors connect prophecy to history reliably.

a favorite place to go in my city
A Grocery Store –
A day without a trip to the grocery store is like a day without sunshine. Quoting a friend of mine. We were two guys who preferred to talk about cooking than sports.

a history and commentary
A Record of What Wasn’t –
A problem with Eusebius and Victorinus. They don’t seem to be aware of the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches but never associates them with the Apocalypse. Victorinus mentions the seven churches that Paul wrote to but not the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Was there a version of the Apocalypse that did not have the seven churches?

a white sea
A White Horse –
A bow, not unlike the bow in Genesis 9:13, is a covenant between God and earth. The rider was Constantine from the Aegean or Mediterranean Sea aka the white sea. He started a Christian empire where they reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Color is the key to identifying the four horseman.

a first impression
A Happy Person –
A business smile is what I call it. No one wants to talk to someone who is having a bad day. Anger or hate doesn’t look good on anyone. Get over it. Put on a happy face.

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.
