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. At least ask the question why. There may be a reasonable explanation.

A Conjecture –
A reasonable explanation to address what is not settled. Who wrote it? When was it written? Why was the Apocalypse written? The Apocalypse has “a decidedly Jewish complexion” and it was suggested that John the Baptist was the first writer. Others have suggested multiple writers. All named John.

A Question Asked –
A question not answered. It is not about Jesus. It is about the Lamb. It is not about the second coming. It is about the first coming. It is all about preparing the way. A job for John the Baptist who bare record. John the Apostle added Jesus and the churches. The second John. Who is the third?

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 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?

A Cause
A because to answer why. The child’s first question. Why? There has to be a reason. Why the Apocalypse? Why does John identify himself three times in the first chapter? Because. A child won’t accept that answer. A reasonable explanation is just conjecture or speculation. Why?
A Reason Why
A question not often addressed. What is the purpose of prophecy? Why was the Apocalypse written? To prepare the way for the first coming. A time that was near. “Make straight” the way of the Lord sayeth the voice crying out in the wilderness.
A Reason Or Cause
A first principle. Ask why the Apocalypse was written. You are free to speculate if you don’t get a reasonable answer. Your speculation should be consistent with what is known or settled. Ask for guidance, look in the bible for clues, and don’t ignore history. The future is for prophets only.
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.
