A Death of the Soul
A reason to fear. Fear only the second death. Be not afraid of the first death but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Believe in Him. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. Perish is complete destruction. The second death is eternal death. Not eternal life.
A Visit By The Pope
A city in Iraq. Qaraqosh. Catholics are not wanted here. Catholics in Qaraqosh, Iraq, call it ‘miracle’ that pope will visit. AKA Bakhdida. Just change the name and the problem will go away. Are you still looking for a beast? This one is diverse from all the rest. Constantinople can be found no more at all. It is now Istanbul.
A Connection With History
A prophecy fulfilled based on history connected with numbers. We can’t predict the future. We are not prophets. We can’t even interpret prophecy with our interpretation but we can connect the fulfillment of prophecy to history using numbers. You can trust numbers. Not your interpretation.
A Dynasty
A connection with Daniel. The ten horns tie the fourth beast of Daniel to the second beast of the Apocalypse. The horns are dynasties and they are named by Islam. They can be connected by two big numbers. A thousand years and the year 666. The seven heads can also be connected with the seven dynasties of Rome.
A Recapitulation
A proven teaching technique. Victorinus employs Recapitulation to understand the Apocalypse. Visions of the Apocalypse are repeated and are not necessarily in chronological order. Do not assume the chapters of the Apocalypse are in chronological order. It can lead to significant misinterpretation.
A Sign of the Times
A time to watch. Keep your garments. You can’t predict the future but you can watch the past. History confirms the fulfillment of prophecy. It is the only way. You can’t trust your interpretation but you can trust the numbers to link history to prophecy. Like a thousand years. It is easy to find.
A Teaching Technique
A recapitulation, a theory first introduced by Victorinus which holds visions in the Apocalypse are repeated and are not necessarily in chronological order. Like the lie, the truth must be repeated to avoid misinterpretation. The chapters of the Apocalypse are not in chronological order.
A Reliable Connection
A prophecy fulfilled with history. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy. Only numbers can reliably connect history to prophecy. All the bible translators agree on numbers and colors. You can’t trust interpretation. Only numbers and colors. Use them.
A Prophecy
A number to connect them. You can trust numbers. Interpretation not so much. We have way too many bible versions because translators can’t agree on the Word of God. Somehow they all agree on the numbers. Use them and history to confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.
A Revelation of Jesus Christ
A blessing for he that readeth. The time is near. Not for the first coming that John witnessed but for the second coming that has been promised. A message of hope. A reason to cling to your bible and gun. Protect the teachings of the Church on Life, Marriage, and Family. A comfort for he that hath an ear.
