a conjecture
A Purely Jewish Composition
A revelation that there may have been more than one version of the Apocalypse by more than one writer. A reasonable speculation that may address all the questions concerning when, who, and why. What actually happened is unsettled and warrants continued consideration into what may have happened. If you have an ear.

a speculation
A Reasonable Explanation
A need to understand. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for something that doesn't make sense. It must be tested. Is it consistent with what we do know for sure? How do you explain John introducing himself three times? There are three different writers named John who had something to do with the Apocalypse.

You should read it again. This time with your eyes open, and your theological presupposition shut. 1st Corinthians 5:7
I know what you are trying to do... but the WORD "lamb" is nowhere to be found in Paul's epistles.

Other missing words:
  • Priest
  • Priesthood
  • Sheep (actually there is a SINGLE occurrence where Paul quotes the OT and then says NO, we are NOT sheep)
  • Shepherd

a bare record
A Remarkable Connection
A man sent from God. He knew the Lamb of God. He who bare record is connected to the Apocalypse by the Apostle John who knew the Baptist. The word "lamb" also connects John the Baptist to the Apocalypse. It was John the Apostle who was asked to prophesy again and he knew the seven churches.

a manipulation of an election
A Zuckerberg Funding
A four hundred million donation to CTCL. This was not investigated by the DOJ. The DOJ is investigating the election investigation in Arizona. They did not investigate Jesse's trailer but they did investigate his family. The DOJ may have to investigate the election investigations in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

a prophecy
A Testimony
A shewing to His servants (plural). His servant, (singular), John who bare record is tied to John the Apostle in his gospel. Start at the beginning. The first verse. This is a clue that there is more than one John. Three different Johns. One who bare record, one to the churches, and one who is also your brother. This is just the first clue.

a bible defined
A Man Named Jerome
A new translation. The Vulgate would become the official bible of the Church and it would include the Apocalypse. At the beginning of the fifth century Jerome was finishing his bible and John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops. Augustine didn't want another bible. He had words with Jerome. An interesting time.

a desolation
A Holy Place
A temple where "there shall not be left here one stone upon another". Jesus wants us to pay attention to the "abomination of desolation". What is in the holy place now?
The holy place was the altar in the temple in Jerusalem. The purpose of that liturgy, of that one holy place, was fulfilled, and so God destroyed it with a Gentile army.

The holy place now is disperse, distributed, like the multiplication of the loaves and fish, it's all around the world, on all seven continents. Because the altar in Jerusalem was like X marks the spot, for the altar of the cross, upon which Jesus our passover was sacrificed, offering to God the Father.

What He did as our high priest, offering Himself on that altar, He now does in an unbloody manner at every Mass, offering Himself again and again to the Father as sacrifice for our sins, while we constantly celebrate and commemorate His one eternal (i.e., continuous) sacrifice, death and Resurrection, as His Church, celebrating the liturgy of our high priest Jesus, a priest forever of the order of Melchizedek, who offered bread and wine, back before the liturgy of the temple in Jerusalem was given to Moses in the law.
Only Daniel knows and he also knows beasts. So what makes a beast a beast? A good question. There must be something special about a beast of Daniel.

a discernment
A Beast In The Making
A holy place desolated. The beasts of Daniel have been named: Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. They all had something to do with the temple except Persia. What is preventing the third temple will point to the fourth beast. The Dome of the Rock. Islam is the fourth beast of Daniel. Different from all the rest.
