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.

a seal
A Horse –
A color of a sea. A location. A clue. White, Red, and Black seas. A new approach to identifying the four horsemen. The Red and Black seas are almost obvious. The White sea not so much except for the fact that the Aegean or Mediterranean sea is also known as the white sea. Constantine is from the Aegean or Mediterranean aka white sea.

a book to read
A Book Not Read –
A book named WordPress. I try to read what others like me are posting. “In The Shadow Of The Sword” by Tom Holland is the last book I sat down to read. A book about Islam that I had already read. Mohammed is a major player.

a number of questions
A Reason for Prophecy –
A search for understanding. Why, Where, Who, When, and What????? The answers should make sense. All the questions must be considered. For the most part we are limited to speculation which should be consistent with what we do know. The first question is Why. Why was the Apocalypse written?

a little horn
A Fit with Daniel –
A horn is a dynasty and before whom there were three of the first horns. 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. Both involved Saladin. He not only beat the crusaders, he beat Richard the Lionheart. It’s a fit.

a best place to live
A New England –
A place for all seasons. It has trees and old homes. Spring and Fall are the best and the Winter and Summer are mild. I would be there right now if I had a grandchild there. As a young family, we got four years there.
