A Prophecy Again –
A little book eaten by John the Apostle who added the seven churches. He was told to prophesy again. Followers of John the Baptist were found in Ephesus by Paul in Acts 19. This is a reasonable explanation of why John uses his name three times in the first chapter of the Apocalypse. Three different Johns.

A Rider Named Death –
A Pale of Settlement that looks like Ukraine with a Sea of Azov that could be a pale sea. Pale is a border which should be in order. It can be a dangerous place if not respected. It could be the death of freedom. Death is the rider of the pale horse and hell will follow. Pay attention to what may be a sign of the times.

A First Coming –
A servant of God. It was John the Baptist who “bare record” of the word of God. John was preparing the way for the first coming which must shortly come to pass. He was preparing the way for the “Lamb”, a word found 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Baptist wrote the first Apocalypse and John the Apostle wrote the second.

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 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 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 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 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 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 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?
