A Good Question –
A reluctant leader. Primarily a follower. I have followed all who have commented on the Apocalypse. Most of what I present has already been presented by others. My only contribution is interpretation with the use of numbers and colors to connect history to prophecy.
A Reasonable Explanation
A fit with what is known about John. The Baptist knew the lamb. The Apostle knew the Baptist, his followers, and the seven churches. Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops when Jerome was translating the bible. Once Jerome put the Apocalypse in the Bible, no one could take it out and Augustine would then comment on it.
A Divider
A family to hate. Maybe this is what Francis was thinking when he changed the direction of the John Paul Institute on marriage and family. Do we have to break up the family to get more to follow Jesus? Maybe it is just a test to see who really cares. There is not much left of the family. They are following social justice instead of Jesus.
