A Connection With Chapters 9, 11, 17, and 20 –
A beast that was, and is not, and yet is. This beast has seven heads and ten horns. It comes out of the pit before it is locked up in chapter 20. This means the chapters are not in chronological order which is consistent with the theory of Recapitulation first introduced by Victorinus in the third century.
A Lack of Justice –
A difficult passage. Let him be filthy still and let him be unjust still. Does that mean we shouldn’t try to do something about it? Just overcometh it? We must work on in despair. He knows our works and we will be judged accordingly. We can’t just pray. We can’t be silent about it. Do something about it.

A Light Shines No More At All –
A candlestick and olive tree connects the Apocalypse with Zechariah which leads to Zerubbabel who is always connected with Joshua and together they started the second temple. Joshua, a high priest, and Zerubbabel, a governor, suggests the Church and the State working together are the two witnesses. Like the Byzantine empire and the Holy Roman empire.
A Comfort by Reading –
A Blessing for he that overcometh. Blessed is he that readeth, watcheth, and keepeth what has been prophesied. That is not to say we shouldn’t work to make it better but not to be discouraged by what seems to be a hopeless situation. Never despair but if you do, work on in despair. The time is near.

A Reign With Christ –
A communion. When two or three are gathered in His Name, He is with them so if they happen to be reigning at the time, they will be reigning with Christ. Not the reign of Christ which cannot be found in the bible. Only on the internet. Constantinople can be found no more at all. It only lasted a thousand years. Its light shines no more at all.
A Rider Named Death –
A color of a polluted sea. Can you say climate change? Oh no Mr. Bill. A fate worse than death ushering in a New World Order with no need for religion. We now have science that tells us there are way too many people so abortion is just one of many solutions. Marx was right. Religion protecting life, marriage, and family is the biggest problem.

A Candle Shines No More –
A darkness cursed. May your light shine in the darkness. And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. That is history but it is happening again.
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 shame exposed. If you have an ear, listen to the warnings. Watch for the signs. You may wonder what you can do besides pray. Listen, watch, and speak out. Silence validates the lie and you will be held accountable for what you don’t do. Don’t bury your talent. Don’t hide your candle under a bushel. Do what is right.
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.
