A Third John 

A place called Patmos.  This is all we know.  Everything else is speculation or interpretation.  Is yours better than the others?  Is your bible better than the others?  Do they have anything in common?  Numbers.  Somehow they get the numbers right.  We also have logic and reason to make sense of them.

A Radical View That Is Consistent With History 

A reasonable explanation.  An unsettled mystery.  Who, When, What, and Why?  Especially the Why but the Who might explain all the others.  John the Baptist preparing the way for the Way, the Truth, and the Light.  The first coming.  The Lamb of God.  The time was near for this prophecy.

a reason to believe 

A Home for Doubt 

A necessary explanation for what we experience.  We have to make sense of it.  To ignore it is to deny reality.  To deny objectivity.  Call it speculation, conjecture, or whatever but please accept the fact that there must be a reason, a purpose, a meaning, etc.

A Necessary Question 

when developing a reasonable explanation.  Speculation on the unknown must be consistent with what is known.  Why speculate?  Only the wise know and understand.  Many don’t want to know.  Don’t worry about them.  It is our job to know and understand.

A Necessary Thing 

to make sense of what we know.  There has been a lot of confusion over the Apocalypse.  Who wrote it?  When?  Why is it in the Bible?  To address what we don’t know, we must try to make  sense of what we do know.  We may be able to come up with a reasonable explanation.

A Warning 

that you can’t believe what you find on the internet.  Duh?  So what can you believe?  A reasonable explanation when there is no alternative to a situation that demands an answer.  What is a reasonable explanation?  Something that is consistent with historical events.
