Poetic Meter

Introduction

There is a doctrine pan-Bible, unknown to scholars, that God grants specific amounts time for spiritual growth. Jews used to know, it's reflected in Talmud Sanhedrin 97-99; alas no one consulted them, lo these many millennia. Not to worry, Bible validates and elaborates on that doctrine, to wit: Messiah's Coming was timed to the very day, long in advance, and Israel was charged with tracking the time to His arrival. This tracking is explicit in the verse text, and explicit in the meter -- syllable counting of one solar year per syllable, since the Jews were commanded to memorize Scripture. The counts interact with the text to make the text easier to understand, even vivid. 490 + 70 + 490 = 1050 civilization unit benchmarks in the meter, starting in Genesis 1, were soon learned.

In the process, Israel overspent their 2100-year time allotment, such that 14 years remained to be paid -- 7 of which were allotted to Messiah's time assuming He'd live the 40 years allotted to Him. But He was crucified 7 years early, so that 14 at the time of His death, is still owed. The Millennium at that time was scheduled to start 63 years later, forecast ever since Moses with some adjustments as Israel made up for or incurred more lost time -- but now that Israel rejected Him, a new 1050 must go to the Gentiles, a kind of bridge, with Church 'in Him' as the completion of Christ's body, bride Israel refused to be. So 14-7 opened a new legal 'bridge' of undefined duration, but defined result: body completes: only if Church too doesn't become so apostate she must Rapture at the wrong time, while yet incomplete. For the number of bodies prepaid on the Cross, are known as soon as it completed. If not all of them end up in Church, it's a mistrial (for details, search on that term at Part IVa, The Lord vs. Satan: SupCtHeaven).

If instead the Church completes at the right time, the Tribulation will resume and the remaining time debt will be paid off, then 1050 of the Millennium will begin. But now, when? No one knows. So if the rapture does not happen, how will believers continue to know what time it is? Answer: Matthew 24-25 + Ephesians 1 + Luke 21 + Mark 13 + Revelation 17 prophecy for the world, how Church will go salty or saltless, and Bible freed up (hence prosperity) or kidnapped due to low interest (hence adversity)... Year by year through 3243 AD (Matthew 24-25). After that, all bets are off.

If the rapture happens, whatever time remains in this prophecy might well apply to the Millennium and beyond, or it gets truncated. Point is, you'll know what time it is, for your time.

The material turns out to be very sophisticated prophetical satire on how Church goes salty or saltless, in history. Matthew is global; Luke 21 and Paul (Ephesians 1) plot the future of the West, and Mark 13 plots the East; these latter three only go up to 1050+ a balancing number for pre‐Church Tribulation 'schedule'; as like most Greek drama they focus on turning points. When Luke 21 and/or Mark 13 also 'tag' Matthew 24‐25 at the same syllable clause, the number will be boxed.

John datelines Revelation both in this Chapter and in Chapter 1, as written end 88 AD. Chapter 1 specifies 4 Chislev 88 AD, which is explained further in John Dateline Meters. To easily understand the sevening, you'll need to know How God Orchestrates Time and Bible Hebrew TIME Meter Characteristics.

John plays his meter antiphonally to Matthew 24, starting at its syllable 56 or 57 or 58 until its syllable 926. (Not sure if John uses calendar, Christ-birthday, or autumnal fiscal; Matthew 24 is likely based on vernal equinox, sacred year fiscal, for Christ is speaking on the very first day of the new sacred year, reminding everyone of Exodus 12's solar calendar mandate). Revelation 17:1's first syllable onward, also plays on Ephesians 1:3-14 (not sure what fiscal Paul uses). John's meter plays also to Luke 21 and Mark 13 in the same way as to Matthew 24, since all three chapters are dated when the writers write, but set the text in 30 AD when Christ speaks, giving His own deathbed future prophecy for Church, even as Jacob did for Israel back in Genesis 49. (Christ was supposed to be born 2000 years after Jacob, but owing to Solomon starting the building of the 1st Temple 3.5 years late, Christ has to be born early to match).

Backstory is in JohnDatelineMeters.pdf; updated listing of all the meters we've found including related document and video links are now in the Poetic Meter Resource Index.

Regarding intra-document links to external sources for the people or events named: the same text (i.e., name) may be linked to more than one source. For example, DIR and Wiki are used often for the same individual, as DIR is scholarly but Wiki often contains more information. So don't assume the same same link is underneath the same name.

Group Factor Meanings

Poetic Meter has doctrinal meaning, following individual or group factors. The following pan-Bible meters have doctrinal values derived from the Old Testament that interact with the text (as cross-reference, elucidator, dateline, or verifier of syllable counts), and reflect Bible's doctrine on how God orchestrates Time. Index list for all of the meters. Meters are often combined per the list below:

Cumulative Notes

Remember: add 30 to the cumulative totals, to convert the integers to 'our' AD.

To quickly assess the time tagged by the words, add 30 to get 'our' AD then look up that year. Find items that tie to the text, to know what the text references. Some times it's 'our' year before or after, so look on both sides of the year tagged. Topic will be related to Bible (God 'appears' through His Word), apostasy, and resulting politics. When you find the right item, the text here will be so biting, you'll be dumbstruck. Example: Mark 13:8b, on seismoi, marking the start of the Diocletian persecution. End clause, Carnuntum, which kicked off the 'earthquake' of the battle of the four teterarchies. Three syllables = years later, Eastern Roman emperor Galerius dies: so no longer 'will be', get the pun? 306 AD, there was an earthquake in Israel. But physical earthquakes are not the focus of verse. Remember how Greek lit works: something political must always be euphemised and dramatized with something natural. Handy way to avoid violating maiestas.

Genesis 1 Poetic Meter

Majority of the meter documentation has been ported from brainout's Genesis 1 Meter PDF. I've taken the liberty to update some of the formatting and text, therefore most of the commentary is not my own.

Note: Genesis 1 doesn't actually end until Genesis 2:3 as shown by the petuhah (Ashuri: פ) (Paleo: 𐤐) "paragraph" markers: I guess Stephen Langton either fell asleep or didn't have access to premium manuscripts when splitting it into verses. Shame on Christendom for not fixing these mistakes 400+ years later: proof that errors and political translations embed themselves into religious canon and nobody wants to fix it. To be fair everyone may be so used to the incorrect system now but I think these obvious problems should be fixed with markings for the incorrect verse splitting.

Doctrinal meanings are deliberate and convenient; for while you threshed wheat or walked to town, you could easily recall and mull over Scripture, thus obeying Deuteronomy 6:5-12.

Meter Import

Chapter theme is Plan of Time as 1050 years, a basic civilization TIME deadline, by the end of which, certain goals must be met. It's usually truncated or mistaken as '1000' in Jewish and Christian theologies. So, most get Bible wrong, being ignorant of this Time deadline, around which all Bible dates continually reconcile. A deadline one readily discerns, if one but counts syllables as ancient children were taught...

Hence the seventh day, 1141 = 1050 + 91, when compared with the text (esp. צְבָאָֽם׃ in Genesis 2:1, meaning war or armies, translators mask it), equals Daniel 9:24's statement: all rebellion must complete before the end comes. Angelic rebellion is also in verse 2 (see Isaiah 45:7, 18-19), Earth is trashed up so the Holy Spirit 'hovers', wryly awaits Father's order to restore. God has Moses sketch a tripartite parallel:

1. Israel's deliverance 40 years prior, through water
2. Noah in the boat, and ~
3. deliverance of Earth here in Genesis 1:2

Analogous to child delivery through water: for in ending ellipsis, is another 1050 to end at Christ's BIRTH, covered in the 700, below. Same as for Psalm 90!

91 is a tribulation meter (also verse 19 to end verse 21); so 7 is in ellipsis at both start and chapter end: 98 = His 97th birthday, when Millennium – a birthday present – was to begin. The extra 7 was potential, foreknown to go past Israel's 2100-year 'time budget'. So the jaw-dropping trial issue became: would Christ pay for a much larger number of future sins? Answer is in Matthew 16:18: yes, Christ votes for however many future humans Father chooses, ratified the night He was arrested (John 17:20ff). The 14 sum had a long ride, starting with Jacob staying 14 years too long with Laban; it gets made up and then goes overbudget again, until finally it pairs up with the tribulation as a sabbatical seven which can't play but during Messiah's lifetime (theme of Isaiah 53 and Daniel 9:26, seven due on the 49 causing Temple Down). So He went to the highways and byways (Matthew's theme after 16:18), final warning call, Israel! Vote on time! But Israel didn't: as a result we exist (theme of Romans 11). So that extra 7 in ellipsis allocated to the seventh day, meant we Church, might have no future. Hence God has Moses pregnantly dateline 7 in double ellipsis, when he writes.

Dateline A

Dateline A: Moses uses 63 as Genesis' theme, vote short, with 7 in ellipsis both upfront and at the end, 1141 + 7. Equidistant ellipsis is a hallmark auditing trait of Bible meters; when you find it, you know the meter count is right. 63 is also a dateline: Moses writes 1400 BC, 63 sevens after Israel enslaved. Same 63 in Psalm 90.

• Double pun: Israel now 40 years in wilderness. First 40 years in Egypt were good, 1870 - 1830. Moses writes 470 years after Jacob entered Egypt, 430 years after Israel was enslaved, another pun on what he'll later write (Exodus 12:40-41) but they already knew. So 63 sevens from Jacob's entry into Egypt, has three pieces:

1. 10 years = Joseph's slavery,
2. 390 years Israel also enslaved,
3. 40 years post-Exodus.

• Jacob entered Egypt age 130 in 1870 BC per Bible (if you did the math). Psalm 90:15's rule of God orchestrating time (equidistantly), Moses prayed during his own wilderness, age 40 - 80, within the 70-year historical voting window, 1516 - 1446 BC, voting between 1480 - 1440. Now 1400 BC = 2706 from Adam's fall, count back 390 + 40 + 40 to when Jacob entered, first 40 were good: 390 + 40 = 430, = Exodus 12:40-41. Remaining are 10 Joseph enslaved, not contiguous. So 390 + 10 + 40 = 63 sevens, completes promise to Abraham of 400 years slavery, likely starting as creeping 'eminent domain' claim over Goshen in the name of building granary cities by Amenemhet III; then, gradual descent into temple building slaves. Amenemhet III's great grandfather II was Pharaoh of the Dream, gave Goshen to Israel per Joseph's request, Genesis 47:5-6. Irony: Moses was Pharoah himself, 63 years pre-Exodus, writing now in 84th year after Hatshepsut. For there were two Thutmose III's, as the ruling period is too long. The concubine's son was only 10 years old; Hatshepsut shrewdly claimed an unrelated heir she could control or discard; named him Moses, drawn from the water = gifted by Isis, to keep factions at bay: much as Elizabeth I, used her marital eligibility. Ergo the concubine son's later need to desecrate/take over her monuments, etc., when Moses abdicated. Ergo Psalm 90 dateline B = 84 years from Hatshepsut's death (start of her death year to end of his writing year, 82 years between).

Verse 31's 1050

Verse 31's 1050 = 490 + 70 + 490 civilization time 'house': vote for God as your refuge, or die. So, Trinity votes aka decrees, God the Holy Spirit speaking light into re-existence verse 3, after 'our' section of the universe got trashed (by Satan & Co, verse 2 and Isaiah 45), Holy Spirit playing 'mother hen', Hebrew מְרַחֶ֖פֶת. The remaining 7 (63 + 7) is voting in history. Moses thus writes end first year of Exodus, given a new 490 Time Grant (based on his maturation vote during the prior 70), 70 x 7 = 490 years after Joseph's enslavement back in 2176 from Adam's Fall. (Row 62 in the worksheet, 4th Timeline shift in the Bible: Adam to Noah, Noah to Abraham, Abraham to Joseph, then Joseph to Moses who turns God down in Numbers 14:12-20 so the time grant shifts, to Israel as a nation. You'd know this if you plotted from Genesis 5 forward, only using Bible's dates and only solar years. Verses used for the worksheet).

Seventy Times Seven

70 x 7 = 490 years before the time grant for Temple dedication ends (1440 - 950 BC: Solomon barely makes it, 1 Kings 6:1 compared to 9:1). You get that by inserting the 7 in ellipsis. All Bible writers employ ellipsis in their meters. They may also use other sevenings, and tag even the ellipses in other Bible passages.

Dateline B

Dateline B: 119 years after Moses born (2706 Exodus – 119 = 1520 BC). Also, 119 x 7 after Terah (Abraham's father) born. Parallel to Terah's own 'exodus' from Ur (Genesis 11:31), counting also from birth as an 'exodus' from the womb: parallel to water.

Sevened Meters, Doctrinal Meaning

a. Verse 3

Verse 3: 63 light on vote.

As noted above, 63 'sevens' after Israel enslaved. Missing 7 from 70 = 63. Here's how that works: God votes, 35; result or response vote, the remaining 35, so a 'vote completion' = 70. But Light just turned on, vote is not complete, 'first day'. Clever play on elided 7 too, lollygagging seven days, to restore. Meter totals 1155, ellipsis = 14. For Israel's vote won't complete, but it can. Ellipsis 'time' begins when voting stops.

63 also tags the vote short of Satan & Co., who caused tohu wa bohu (תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ) in verse 2. Past is prologue: their vote stopped, so now turf they've wrecked is prepped for new voters: mankind. Moses' readers long knew this; but he draws water parallel ('moses' = drawn from the Water) between Israel's deliverance and Restoration Earth; so the world knows where to vote for the Real God.

b. Verse 5

Verse 5: 119 light on, first day ends.

As noted above, Moses writes when he's aged 119, the same year he dies: 119 x 7 after Terah is born.

God votes, since the 'Decree' = 84 + voting 35 = 119, but also 63 + 56, the combination here in view. Next, 126 (119 + 7) + 364 = 490. So 119 telegraphs Purpose of Day One will not be met on time. Thus Psalm 90:1-4 is 84, = 70 + 14; but Psalm 90:16-17 ("establish our hands" twice, Temple and Jerusalem rebuilt in time for Christ's scheduled Birth in 4106) is instead, 56: Future Temple threatened. See row 146.

By contrast in Genesis, 63 + 56 = 119, as the extra 7 will be given to Messiah's lifetime; God foreknew it wouldn't play. So this is a hint regarding Church as the Time Bridge, a theme echoed in 378 (verse 13). Yet Church was not prophesied, as it was up to Christ when He came, whether He'd WANT to pay for yet more souls. So pre-Christ, the prophecy was merely, there's a recurring problem: we keep missing our appointed times (verse 14's וּלְמ֣וֹעֲדִ֔ים).

c. Verse 6

Verse 6: 145 separation of waters, recreates atmosphere.

Maybe should be 147 but I can't force it; syllables don't seem to justify more. If there is justification for this, then 147 with an ellipsis: 77 x 2 = 154 - 7 = 147. Because of: 154 x 7 = 1078.

• Also, lifetime of 1st David to end of scheduled lifetime of Last David is 1078 in Isaiah 53, built with two elisions:
• 252 between Isaiah 52:15, which ends at 77 for David's lifetime, and ~
• 364 between verses 10 ~ 11 (covering the intertestamental period) to reimburse 1st Temple's standing time (364 + 70 = 62 weeks in Daniel); so Isaiah 53:11 begins at 33 BC (when Octavian gained control) running straight to 37 AD, 1000th anniversary of David's death when Messiah was to die. The Lord would actually die 7 years prior.

d. Verse 8

Verse 8: 210 Atmosphere restored, second day ends.

210 = overage now allocated, 70 then 140 now 210. Back on time. 210 x 7 = 1470 = years between initial Exodus and Christ's actual Death, to the very day; but 2870 BC means nothing (Kenan died).

Also, Moses writes 210 years after the 490 from Noah's death in 2100 BC. I don't know who picked up the time baton back in 1610 BC, didn't even know there was a 490 from Noah's death, or why this is sevened. Instead I find Noah's sons born 1556 from Adam's fall, + 490 = 2046 when Abraham matured. That deadline, every Bible book tracks.

Joseph's 490 started 2176, ends at Exodus. However, the next most-traced deadline, is 1000 from David's death (endpoint in Daniel 9:26, using solar years as Exodus 12 demands), so is Noahic from-death 490 a deadline? Or, Jochebed born 1610 BC? Translators wreck Exodus 6:20 and even Jews get it wrong. Maybe Exodus 2:1-2 is metered for her age. Or better, 1610 tags end of Hammurabi's Babylon (rounded), as Moses also tags Hammurabi's 'start' at 364, below. Hittite empire started here too: this implies that when Noahic protection ended, trouble began (foretaste of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28).

e. Verse 12

Verse 12: 364, separation of land and sea, then vegetation and 'year' = Noah in Boat.

364 = years 1st Temple will stand = Paul's Ephesians 1:3-14 'Year of Church' (playing off Genesis 1's four 91s) + 70 to make 62 weeks' analogy (Church to Bridge Time back to Daniel 9:27). So, vegetation sprouts after dry land is supernaturally restored, so growth is independent, not finished; so the processes we see now, are long-term results of that day, not the initial process, which Yes, was a miracle. He instantly did it all the first time, Genesis 1:1. Yet He now chooses to redo it slowly and comically, per 24-hour 'day'. Revelation uses 364 also, to front a drama quadrilogy per Aristotle's Poetics. Genesis is no less biting, but Revelation is on the finish of that habitation to get ready for eternity, ties directly back here to Genesis.

What deadline and/or event might 1400 + 364, 'tag'?

• Hammurabi taking over lower Mesopotamia by 1764 BC?
• Egypt's 12th dynasty having died?

Well, it would be apt as Hammurabi did that via flooding, goal of uniting the 'world'. Funny how mankind craves over uniting under one ruler and glorifies past empires, yet calls imperialism, ipse 'evil'. Babylonia had an insane code of laws (accused jumps in a river, is guilty if he sinks) which didn't mate penalty to crime nor allow mitigating circumstance. So does Moses 'tag' Hammurabi to satirize? Hammurabi belongs to the third 1050 'day', like Israel. Mosaic Law satirizes everything pagan, to show God provides a better Law. And/or, 364 or 364 + 7 x 7? Which takes us back to Adam: 109 or 158 post-Fall (364 x 7 = 2548 or (364 + 7) x 7 = 2597 then add 1400), but what event?

f. Verse(s) 13, 15, 16, 17, 18

Verse 13: 378 third day ends.

70 years after Jacob dies, so too dies Egypt's 12th Dynasty (1785 BC. 1400 + 378 + 7), who enslaved Israel within 50 years after Joseph also died (1400 + 378 + 7 = 1785 BC, Jacob = Israel dying in 1853 and Joseph in 1836). Now 14 'late' (378 - 364): Jacob's extra servitude, two families then 'sprouting'. Cutely depicted as separation between dry land and water, after atmosphere restored on the 2nd day, so now vegetation. Freedom to congregate or separate, to be in the 'sea' (or land) of people and thus drown, or sail/walk away to survive.

Isaiah 53:1-12's meter = 385; fronting 77 in verse 52:13-15 (where in the Hebrew, Isaiah 53 begins) = David's lifetime. Messiah is to 'absorb' the extra 7 in His lifetime. God repeats that in Daniel 9:26's '62 weeks'. But Christ Last Adam, dies end of 61st week, 378 not 385. So 1400 BC Moses writes, plus 378 x 7 = 60 years after Adam's Fall, a kind of 61 (1400 + 2646 = 4046 + 60 = 4106 when Adam fell; the anniversary of 60th year begins 61st year). Enough time for three generations plus Adam.

Meters between 378 and 560, display 'appointed times' (וּלְמ֣וֹעֲדִ֔ים) for Day Four. Why? These 'appointments' caused Israel to be enslaved and get free. They are:

• 448 (1400 + 448 + 7 = 1855 rounded for 1853 when Jacob died).
• 497 (1400 + 497 = 1897, Sesostris II son of Pharaoh of the Dream Amenemhet II, starts rule in the last 20 of the 40 ending with 7 'fat years').
• 518 (1400 + 518 = 1918, falsely-accused Joseph, goes to prison. Count three years: start of 1918, then 1917, then end 1916 he's made vizier).
• 546 (1400 + 546 = 1946, Joseph born).

g. Verse 19

Verse 19: 560 fourth day ends, sun and moon signs of Time.

Voting period 490 + 70 = 560. Jacob enters Haran 560 years before Moses writes; Jacob entered, 490 years after the Flood; he enters Egypt, in 91st year after he entered Haran, knowing full well the eventual slavery promised Abraham. So Moses plays on both 490, a voting deadline for one believer to supermature and on 70, the mass voting by all believers on earth, to learn God. Sum is 560, and if that 70 isn't also met, time ends. 80 weeks, 52 + 28, equals Time from autumnal equinox fiscal prior (whole year) to start of 2nd Passover week.

Note that God did not restore stars and moon to start vegetation; and, some were already there. Takes 3 days for wet seeds to sprout in darkness. So much for clueless Bible debunkers who disdain verses 14-19, as the skylights aren't created (really, restored) until the 4th day. Genesis keeps repeating it's a miracle: God speaks, and it is so. How else can you differentiate Him from a natural process?

So now we have to look at the components of 560:

• 364 (year) + 70 (voting) = 434 (62 weeks) + 70 + 56.
• In turn, the 490 itself is 364 + 70 + 56.
• Broken down further, we have: 91 + 91 + 91 + 91 + 70 + 70 + 56.

These meters are all over Bible. 91 stands for 'quarter' and 'Tribulation' (Christ's 90th birthday, begins His 91st year), 70 for voting, 56 for voting in danger. All Bible writers use them that way, starting with Moses himself, both here and in Psalm 90.

h. Verse 21 (ending)

Verse 21b: 651 fifth day teeming sea and air life.

Since land vegetation needs time to grow, sea and air come first (birds can dive for fish, rest on land). God did it all supernaturally; but He uses sequence to teach principles man needs to learn. 651 + elided 7 = 658 = years from Abraham's maturation (1400 + 658 = 2058, counting from end maturation year to start writing year on autumnal fiscal, so 2058 = 2060). 686 is obvious: Genesis 12, God tells (= 35 meter) Abram age 75 to leave his dad, so maybe Terah went negative? (Abraham born 2160 BC – 75 = end 2086 BC = 1440 + 686). Note that sometimes ellipsis is used to make meter fit the text. Here, idea of profit, 'fifth'. Profit of listening to God (686 + 0) followed by the profit of maturation (651 + 7).

i. Verse 23

Verse 23: 700 fifth day ends with flora and fauna on sea and air, vegetation on land.

This makes sense too, as it allows time for the animals to figure out where the food is and get it (even if made by miracle). 700 - 365.25 = 334.75 days into a 'second' year. (Psalm 90 is 350 syllables spanning Decree of God regarding man, to Adam's vote, then Noah's vote, then Moses' vote, then that future hanging chad which is the last 70-year historical voting period pre-Christ). If calling Year One at 701 x 7, Adamic year would be 2450 at 1050 = end 5th contiguous 490, just before Ahmose I. Yet Decree to create man starts syllable 766. So:

• If 1050 - 765 = 285
• Then x 7 = 1995 = Abram's 49th year + 7 (ellipsis) x seven = 98th year
• If accounting from start 1st year to end last, then we get his 100th year

Moses writes 700 years after Noah died in 2100 BC. 350 (35 + 315) years later is 1050 from Noah's death; 1050 years after that, Messiah was to be born, 2100 years after Noah died. The Lord ends up, born 3 years prior due to David's late crowning and Solomon starting Temple late. The 735 dates back to when Terah took a still-too-young Abram and his brother to Haran, Genesis 11:31 (1400 + 735 = 2135 BC). Genesis 12, God orders Abram at age 75 to leave his father, 49 years later (686, implies Abram's family went apostate 14 years after Noah died). Again, theme is 'exodus' as a kind of 'birth', separation and dedication to God.

j. Verse 31

Verse 31: 1050 sixth day ends, fauna on land, then mankind.

Moses writes 1050 years after the Flood. 1050 x 7 = 7350, might be why Jews maintain total allotted time = 7000 years (as shorthand) in Sanhedrin 97-99 of Talmud. Yet it's the sixth day, not seventh. If we continue accounting 1050 as Year One, Abram renamed AvRAHam age 100: the 1050 actually starting then (David's crowning deadline met in 3096, but only over Hebron), makes a lot of sense now.

So Adamic year 2046, is here put on a new time track as Year One. 2100 years allotted to the Jews, begins 2046.5 from Adam's Fall. Moses uses 1050 equidistantly in Psalm 90, written 40 years later: there, he writes in the 1051st year after the Flood; when his 350(!) syllable = years (for the Judges, a second time track) ends, another 1050 years remain to Messiah's Birth, also originally based on Abraham's maturation: the Lord was to be born 4106, 2000 years after Jacob, die 4146, 2100 years after Abram renamed. By contrast here, Moses writes 1010 years after the Flood. The scheduled death of Messiah is also 1010 years after David will retire from Kingship over all Israel; the Lord actually dies 1000 years after David's retirement. See the Time Distance Chart, here.

The next issue: as noted above, this 'sixth day' meter also stands for 1050 + 7 : remember the ending 7 also in ellipsis (total of 2 sevens)? The idea is that God foreknows Time will run past the initial design and has made provision for it. So here you have mathemathical proof that God doesn't coerce volition, but instead Provides Freedom, and then makes good on it. Moses will do this same thing in Psalm 90, ensconcing 14 with the 70 to form an '84' as the tally for Psalm 90:1-4; Meaning? Decree, which all of the other Bible writers will tag. The extra 7 between 84 and 91 (seventh day meter, 1141 - 1050), will end up playing during Church. Its final provenance is Christ dying 7 years early, which goes undetected by scholars who use lunar years in Daniel 9:26. Bible only and always requires solar year accounting. So if they followed Bible instead of culture, they would all see the extra seven years as the 62nd week, ending 37 AD, and would stop being preterists or fellow dispensationalists, who shoehorn a lunar calculation that doesn't balance either. The Bible's calculation is instead, in solar years:

• 586 BC decree of GOD in Daniel 9:24, Jeremiah 25 and 29 that Daniel was reading per Daniel 9:2 (so no human king's decree to rebuild, only God's):
• 586 – 70 – 70 – 49 (= 397 BC, Malachi completed) - 434 = 37 AD.

k. Verse(s) 32, 34 (2:1, 2:3)

Verse(s) 32, 34 (2:1, 2:3): 1141 seventh day, 'rest', signifies provision to resolve Angelic Conflict is completed

1050 + 91 with 7 in ending ellipsis. God did HIS Vote. Now, it's our turn.

• 1141 x 7 = 7987
• 1148 x 7 = 8036
• 1155 x 7 = 8085

The 1141 is 163 sevens, which as days are = 3 years + 45.25 days. Now you know why 1335 - 1290 days in Daniel 12 (counting backwards from 2nd Advent) = the exit window at mid-tribulation (Revelation 11, when the witnesses are killed, last opportunity to get out during the chaos after the earthquake, before the Revelation 13:15 statue is set up, day 1221 of the tribulation through day 1266)

The 1067 in verse 21 using tsaba'oth = armies warring (צְבָאָֽם׃ in the text), is your deft clue that the seventh day involves the Angelic Conflict. It's unfortunate that the arrogance of religious humans won't allow for beings higher than themselves, to be the proximate cause of their creation; that we belittle these angelic beings made by GOD, into red horns and tail, wisps on the wind, or androgenous figures in trenchcoats; or worse, that our theologies are silent about bald passages like angels cohabiting with humans, in Genesis 6. The hoary heads explain that all away, just as atheists try to explain away a universe that clearly is not its own cause. So we miss the why of our existence, of a tribulation: to resolve the Angelic Conflict, not our own. Man is the stadium on which this trial is played, and how man votes for or against God, is trial evidence. Revelation makes that plain, using standard Greek drama style in Aristotle's poetics, so there's no hidden meaning, no hidden code, but a well-known rhetorical style any Greek reader would recognize immediately. But if you obscure it in translation or teaching, then your students, won't know. So God starts that trial theme, right here in Genesis, and all metered passages reference it.

Unfortunately, the childish and anti-semitic 'theologies' of the past 2000 years, so hungry to cut out the Jews, totally missed why Tribulation and Millennium: as a reward to CHRIST for beating Satan. This fact is trenchantly explained in Hebrews Chapter 1 onward. (Hebrews pins its text to Mark for flow-of-points outline, then on Peter for content, on Ephesians for 'walls' and the Church History prophecy, all tied back to Jeremiah 3, 31, and Psalm 110). We saw the Conflict in Genesis 1:2, Earth suddenly tohu wa bohu (see Isaiah 45:18-19 and the videos on the verses). Something went WRONG. Conclusion for us moderns, since our ancestors didn't pass on what they learned from Moses, is that the demons made this planet their home, and trashed it up. In short, this Conflict is on their turf. Coupled with Job 1 and 2, Matthew 4, Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28, you can well derive all you need to know regarding how this Conflict plays, why Satan's fighting, etc. Here though, we see the legal impetus for man's creation. It was intended anyway, given axiomatic language on the sixth day: Let us Create does not say, 'due to the Trial' as a legal preamble.

When you realize you're part of something far bigger than your normal 'world' of tea-and-baguette, then you look UP. We are in a war not our making, but we must choose sides. Thus begins the siring of the man to pay for a mankind He authorizes, exist. Meanwhile, that Love motive serves to answer Satan & Co. as to why going low, is better than standing atop some mountain beating your chest, chortling about how good you are. And we humans, well... we keep choosing that mountain of Satan, ignoring the mountain of sins Christ unilaterally absorbed so we could live on His mountain, instead

• John 17:20ff, known prior and explained in Hebrews 7~10, with 11 being about the trial, how Israel's time cannot resume nor Old Testament folk be resurrected until we are raptured, end chapter 'without us they will not be completed'.

Victory is not in numbers. It's in the quality of your life. Quality of life is internal, not external. Happy when hurting, Hebrews 12:2, vs. hurting when happy, Psalm 37, Matthew 16:26, Mark 8:36, Luke 9:25. Only God can give you the former, since it requires you think like Him. He's happy. All the tribulations hit Him first. So how can HE be happy? Learn to think like Him rather than like Satan, and you'll know. That dramatic theme starts right here: keyword tsabaoth, alerts you.

Meter Bookends / Palindromes / Patterns

The pattern and symmetry here is not at all like Psalm 90; yet most of these meters are used in Psalm 90, and all the two-digit meters are used in every Bible book I've parsed thus far (all of the New Testament datelines, for example). Each Bible book uses at least one of the three- or four-digit meters. So the Genesis meter precedent is followed. Whether the other books 'tag' Genesis 1 at these meters, I'm not yet sure. Genesis does establish doctrinal meaning for each meter. Of course, combinations of these meters and their totals, allow for many more usages.

Moreover, some of the meters are compounds, like 42 (28 + 14 above) = 3 x 14, which Matthew uses in his genealogy. 77 is visual shorthand for 490, used by Isaiah 52:13-15 for David's lifetime, and thus by Luke 3 for his genealogy. In short, there is a much proof that these meters are deliberate cross-reference and doctrinal shorthand tools, not arcane mystery numbers to wow the reader. They are meant to be learned and lived on, just like the text, and they interact with the text. Would be nice, if we all started learning them. Painful at first, but rewarding. If you want certitude that this is God's Word, you're looking at how to get it. For only God can orchestrate REAL TIME to match meter numbers in a book claimed to be from Him, over and over and over.

Here, the real total is maybe 1155, including both sevens in ellipsis (one beginning, one ending). 165 sevens. Same idea as adding 14 to 1141 at the end. For the start should have been 70, not 63. Somehow God's telling you the harvesting of history, this way. 1078 + 77 = 1155. But I'm not sure how to read all the meters, yet. It's real tempting to claim that allotted time including Church is 1155 x 7, but that's not necessarily true. If it were true, then the meter would have to be somewhere in the New Testament. All presently found New Testament meters go no higher than Peter's 483 which ties back to Daniel 9. Even Revelation 1's meter goes no higher than the 364.

Matthew 24 & 25 Poetic Meter
Prophecy of Christian Impact on World During Church Age

Majority of the meter documentation has been ported from brainout's Matthew 24 & 25 meter PDF. I've taken the liberty to update some of the dead links, formatting and text, therefore most of the commentary is not my own.

Luke 21 dateline meter plays on 28 (writing 28 years after Christ died, 35 years until pre-Church Millennium) and 63 (= 28 + 35), since Christ spoke Matthew 24~25 and Luke 21 63 years before the pre-Church Mill (excluding the year He spoke). Luke and Paul play on 63, the first meter in Bible (Genesis 1). Luke thus uses 1085 meter (1050 + 35), same style (Luke was 35 years from Mill at writing, and Christ was 63).

Matthew 24 ~ 25 anaphora parse as separate clauses; seems like ὅτι, when present, ends the clause; ὅτι introduces content, bullet point to be made, as in legal English 'that:'

• First occurrence of ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, is not counted. The anaphora count begins after it ends. Its 'map' is the Amen Anaphora.
• Second or middle anaphora is 'roped', the count beginning at its own beginning, and ending at the end of the 'end' of the last anaphora.
• Here, the 'middle' is at 1540 = 1570 AD, the beginning of the English Reformation. The 'roping' is an overlap of 430 syllables = years starting at 1110, and corresponds to the years Israel was in Egypt, Exodus 12:40-41. So an 'exodus' (of Bible, faith, freedom) seems depicted at the 1570 AD mark, which is the end of the third 490 after Christ's death, and is the second 70-year voting period (joining the two 490's in a 1050). You can see this in GeneYrs.xls. The 'map' overlap at 2006 (2036 AD), implies that Bible Freedom will be soon ending. Or something else spiritually bad.

This seems to be the chapter from which Paul draws his own anaphoric structure for Ephesians 1:3-14, which is also on the freeing of the Bible, the epainon anaphora from syllables = AD years 133-434, explained on pages 128ff. Paul uses the same roping style as here in Matthew, though Paul's epainon anaphora only occurs three times. Paul's middle is 320-334 (syllable = AD year), centering on Constantine, the precursor of Revelation 17 harlot political Christianity we see exhibited through MAGA and Christian Nationalism.

Here in Matthew, the phrase ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, anaphora occurs three times per chapter. Syllable/year counts between these phrases, are in trinity or sevening meter. Seven means promise, and three stresses the agreement of trinity on whatever is tri-metered (idea of Them watching it, protecting, etc).

If you subtract 63 (ending first use of ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, in Matthew 24:2) from the 1540 count in Matthew 24:47, result is you get 1477 = 211 sevens. Notice therefore the overlap 'in the middle', from 1110 to 1540 (1140 ~ 1570 AD). That period of then-future history is stressed as a turning point, so you know what the Lord is mapping in this timeline: Bible interest causing history for the better (orange differentials under 105), or worse (no orange or only rare orange, so only few individuals are growing). It serves to explain why the rapture doesn't happen; with the text serving, as well as the 'normal' meaning, to satirically comment on the history of Church apostasy worldwide, that year. For example, our '2017' = 1987 (convert to AD by adding 30 to the syllable count). What's that syllable? Matthew 25:11, foolish virgins clamour Lord Lord let us in!

Amen legw humin anaphora Judgment

Matthew 24:2: amen legw humin, syllables 58-63, sevens within itself and to verse 2 Blepw at 58-51; spans 88 ~ 93 AD.
The time when Domitian persecuted Jews, and when John was exiled to Patmos. The persecution was mostly to get money or to be seen as faithful to Rome. It wasn't expressly anti-Christian, but empire-wide, some used the mime plays lewdly mocking Christians then, to excuse, maltreating Christians, much the same as Trump voters maltreat Muslims or people of colour.

• Pre-Church, this was supposed to be the time of the tribulation, starting in 87 and ending in 94. Revelation, was then written to explain why it didn't begin as expected.

Matthew 24:34: amen legw humin, syllables 1111-1116 or 1118 (could place hoti on next line, as Codex Bezae for Mark 13), sevens to verse 33 idete at 1090-1111; spans 1141 ~ 1148 AD.
Christians were expecting Christ's return at the wrong time, so this period registers their attempt to reconcile the fact the rapture/second advent did not happen as wrongly expected.

Matthew 24:47: amen legw humin, syllables 1533-40, sevens from 1538-1118 and to verse 44 ho huios at 1533-1456; spans 1563 ~ 1570 AD.
Reformation and impetus for English reformation, which is the central anaphora. This especially matters due to the Adamic 1540 voting period which began 1570 AD, same year as the English reformation. So literally the world hung on the outcome of this period, whether Bible would finally free up for the common man, first time since the cross. Nexus is a pair: between English reformation here, and our own time in 2030 - 41 AD = anaphoric center. Two anaphora precede and two succeed Matthew 25:12, next.

Matthew 25:12: amen legw humin, syllables 2001-6, sevens from hoti at 2000-1538 and to verse 12 apokritheis at 2006-1999; spans 2031 ~ 2036 AD.
Notice it starts the year after the 2000th anniversary of Christ's death (per errant but used by scholars, Roman AUC by Varro/Dionysius Exiguus). Basic character: second reformation, to further what didn't get fixed prior. Specifically, more manuscript discovery needed, too many false doctrines didn't get fixed, Gospel essentially lost again despite widespread clear Bible, too much Popism by the Protestants as well, etc. Closest, nonetheless, to the Deuteronomy 6 and 30 conditions where everyone was supposed to have Bible in the head, promise of Jeremiah 31:31-34 in progress as per Hebrews 8:8-12.

Matthew 25:40: amen legw humin, syllables 2954-9, sevens at 2953-2001, and to verse 40 apokritheis at 2959-2945 (roping to the nearer keyword ho Basileus); spans 2984 ~ 2989 AD.
Whatever this period signifies, it depends on 'our' time now; note distance is doubled vs English reformation-our own time. That implies either a second reformation from now through 2041 will be so productive, another such period won't be needed for nearly 1000 years; or conversely, outcome will be dark. Given 2/3rds productive believer text in Matthew 25:13ff, the former seems more indicated.

Matthew 25:45: amen legw humin, syllables 3158-63, sevens at 3157-2954 and to verse 45 apokritheis at 3163-3149 (implying there should be hiatus); spans 3188 ~ 3193 AD.
Notice the distance between this last amen and the one prior, is half the distance, vs ours back to the English reformation. So again, time from English reformation to now, is of central import, to the future.

Apokritheis (answering as a ruling) Anaphora keyword

Matthew 24:2: apokritheis, syllables 42-5, sevens to verse 1 ho Iesous at 42-7; spans 72 ~ 75 AD.
Masada and other Jerusalem destruction aftermath.

Matthew 24:4: apokritheis, syllables 149-152, distance sevens at 42-147 (implies krasis needed in verse 4), spans 179 ~ 182 AD.
Changeover to Commodus, which for Christians and Jews was a reprieve of sorts. The Rome-First stress under Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, brought with it an 'enthusiasm' for targeting Christians, and the latter's arrogant rebuffs. This is the start of Christian institutionalisation, i.e., when Christianity started to politicize and terrorize its own. These are Commodus' good years, measured from when Aurelius became ill.

Matthew 25:9: apokritheis, syllables 1885-9, sevens at 1885-149, spans 1915 ~ 1919 AD.
World War I (fiscal year Christ uses might be vernal equinox so for our purposes the years are later).

Matthew 25:12: apokritheis, syllables 1995-8, sevens at 1998-1886, spans 2025 ~2028 AD.
Given the foregoing, this period should be one of intense upheaval, even leading to war. We're in about the same fragile psychological situation now, as was Europe just before Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated, tangled alliances, especially Russian and Chinese 'deals' globally.

Matthew 25:26: apokritheis, syllables 2454-7, sevens at 2457-1995, spans 2484 ~ 2487 AD.

Matthew 25:37: apokritheis, syllables 2856-61, sevens at 2856-2457, spans 2886 ~ 2891 AD.

Matthew 25:40: apokritheis, syllables 2941-44, sevens at 2941-2856, spans 2971 ~ 2974 AD.

Matthew 25:44: apokritheis, syllables 3097-102, sevens at 3102-2941, spans 3127 ~ 3132 AD.

Matthew 25:45: apokritheis, syllables 3148-53, sevens at 3153-3097, spans 3178 ~ 3183 AD.

Blepw/horaw Anaphora
(satire on seeing, they don't see)

Matthew 24:2: Blepw/horaw, syllables 51-3, sevens to apokritheis in verse 2 at 53-46 (implies latter should not be elided); spans 81-3 AD.
Start of Domitian. Matthew uses blepw satirically, to mark emperor death; here, Titus in '81. Ephesians 1, Luke, Mark and Revelation do the same, but not always with the same keyword (Mark and Revelation often use kai to play on kaiser cut off, Paul selects the eta in thelematos).

Matthew 24:4: Blepw/horaw, syllables 160-2, sevens at 159-54, spans 190 ~ 192 AD.
End of Commodus, and of course he too dies end 192. Yikes. This is when apostate Christianity normalizes.

Matthew 24:6: Blepw/horaw, syllables 219-21, sevens at 219-163, spans 249 ~ 251 AD.
Seven emperors came and went during these three years, known as 'Crisis of the Third Century'.

Matthew 24:15: Blepw/horaw, syllables 459-61, sevens at 459-221, spans 489 ~ 491 AD.
Only three die, most notably Zeno; triggering more musical chairs for the purple. The Ostrogoths and Odovacer were busy fighting over who rules Italy, too. So what you saw, was land being desolated by war and intrigue. Time to move out.

Matthew 24:30: Blepw/horaw, syllables 952-4, sevens at 952-462, spans 982 ~ 984 AD.
Otto II dies here; he is featured in Mark 13 and Revelation 17 as paradigmal for the rest of history (uncertain as to why).

Matthew 24:33: Blepw/horaw, syllables 1090-2, sevens at 1092-952, spans 1120 ~ 1122 AD.
In the Byzantine Empire, John II Komnenos consolidated power within his family, thus set about trying to recover lost territory (renovatio). In the West, Henry V finally relinquished the long-used power by kings over the clergy (to the extent of making them an arm of the government doing the emperor's bidding, institutionalized since Otto I). Consequently, the papacy and its many tentacles, were finally free of formal imperial control, perhaps for the first time since Pepin the Short or Charlemagne. In Jerusalem, the Latins were then ascendant, and Baldwin II was on the throne; yet during these years he captured the Temple Mount, only to find himself captured as well (and later freed). He was also in conflict with John, over Antioch. So what everyone saw was war, even though the Temple Mount should have attracted the most interest. The Templars were just founded on it; they end up being a thorn in the side of everyone. Presumably the booty they acquired, included Bible manuscripts which were disseminated?

Surely the monasteries were going through their third major reform, at least in France and England. Benedictine Rule which started in the 500s, collapsed; it was renewed as Cluny in the 800s and Cistercian by the 1000s; 20 years after this clause, the first Cistercian Pope will be installed; then he will spend most of his life chased from his own see, by rebelling Italians who wanted no more popes. Seeds of that later rebellion, are sewn here; due to monks and laity alike deciding, you know what, we just want to learn what Bible says. Hence these years see, birthed in the College of Paris, the advent of small Bibles with copious notes (refer to: Christopher de Hamel's "The Book: A History of the Bible" for more information), meaning of Hebrew names; pocket sized for the convenience, not only of ubiquitous Franciscan and Dominican friars whose orders commissioned them; but for the sake of many laity, too. Here begins what we would see as our modern Bible, replete with chapters and verses, concordances and indexes. It literally changed the world, to suddenly have your own personal Bible cheaply, which you could hold in one hand and read yourself. Thus began human independence from clergy hearsay, and the inevitable confusion which any newborn freedom will undergo. The Reformation thus becomes inevitable; in these early days of yet-hand-copied Bibles; its progress, perhaps mercifully, is slow.

Matthew 25:20: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2238-9, sevens at 2238-1090, spans 2268 ~ 2269 AD.

Matthew 25:22: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2322-3, sevens at 2322-2238, spans 2352 ~ 2353 AD.

Matthew 25:25: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2448-9, sevens at 2448-2322, spans 2478 ~ 2479 AD.

Matthew 25:37: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2875-7, sevens at 2875-2448, spans 2905 ~ 2907 AD.

Matthew 25:38: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2899-901, sevens at 2899-78, spans 2929 ~ 2931 AD.

Matthew 25:39: Blepw/horaw, syllables 2923-5, sevens at 2923-2902, spans 2953 ~ 2955 AD.

Matthew 25:44: Blepw/horaw, syllables 3113-5, sevens at 3113-2924, spans 3143 ~ 3145 AD.

Semeion Anaphora
(sarcastic, generation always seeking a sign verse)

Matthew 24:3: semeion, syllables 129-32, sevens at prior amen, 128-58; spans 159 ~ 162 AD.
Antonius Pius dies and troops begin to bring back to Rome, some form of plague. It will keep recurring, and is thought to have originated in China. Not sure what else to list, here. Once the plague starts, Christians and Jews are blamed as its cause, so persecutions begin; but they aren't ordered.

Matthew 24:24: semeion, syllables 727-29, sevens at 727-132, spans 757 ~ 759 AD.
Constantine V was in the process of enforcing his 754 Council prohibiting iconoclasm. Mark makes this text an anaphoric center, setting it a few years later: as a sequel, since the daughter-in-law of Constantine V renewed icon worship which Constantine V quelled. So here in 757-9, the Byzantine Empire is working with the aftermath of the Hieria Council which banned icon worship back in 754 (trying, the wrong way, to obey Matthew 24:24); Constantine V himself wars with the Bulgars (and wins).

• In the West, these years cover Pepin the Short, newly crowned a few years prior by the Pope, coming to rescue him; Pepin makes the so-called Donation of Pepin, which is really a quid pro quo; the papacy's satellite monasteries and clergy, come under progressive Frankish rule until 1120 AD.

Matthew 24:30: semeion, syllables 923-6, sevens at 923-727, spans 953 ~ 956 AD.
Constantine VII 7 years after he's freed from regents, but why these years? Arab temporary invasion started during these years, but was largely reconquered by the Byzantine Empire in 957-9. Whole reign is central in Mark 13 / Revelation 17, also via parousia tie, but how do their snippets intersect and elaborate on this one? Otto II is born 955 (dates vary 1 ~ 3 years by source); his father will become the Holy Roman Emperor 7 years later, which Luke 21, Mark 13, and Revelation 17 focus on. To his dad, the 'son born' would be regarded as a sign; daddy wanted to revive Rome. There was no Holy Roman Emperor during this time; the various princelings were all fighting both each other, and migrating tribes; Otto defeats the Hungarians, so consolidates.

Iesous Christos Anaphora
(savior = Iesous, anointed = christos; so sarcasm, regarding true vs. false christs)

Matthew 24:1: Iesous/Christos, syllables 5-7, ends at first seven; spans 35 ~ 37 AD.
Original deadline for His death, forecast since David died, was 37 AD (1000th anniversary of David's death, the end of Daniel 9:26 if you properly used solar years instead of lunar, properly parsed 2 Samuel 23). = The year Tiberius dies and Caligula begins, Pilate thus reprieved of his reprimand. 57 years later, was supposed to begin the millennium, had there been no Church. Ephesians 1:3d tags this, so align Paul's writeup starting here? But you see the 'leaving' wit, right?

Matthew 24:4: Iesous/Christos, syllables 153-5, sevens at 154-7, spans 183 ~ 185 AD.
Commodus and the Church turn very bad, lording it over others and (Church) seeking to persecute dissent, both thinking themselves as the 'savior' and everyone else as untermenschen. Same problem as Tiberius with Sejanus, during this time. Freed up to be goofball, by 185 Commodus begins to play up being a 'son of Hercules'. He taxed the Senate to give to the people, starting maybe 185?

Matthew 24:5: Iesous/Christos, syllables 192-4, sevens at 192-157, spans 222 ~ 224 AD.
Witty sarcasm, here. Expecting a savior, folks riot in Rome (refer to: St. Hippolytus and the Church of Rome in the earlier part of the third century : from the newly-discovered Philosophumena) claiming "the second coming is now!" based on an incorrect calculation of when the year 1000 was to occur (using Varro's ab urbe condita); a goofball Christian aims to rebut: oh, the second advent is far away, politically manipulates the date. Also, Origen was in the middle of entertaining the Severan mothers, causing others to entertain the idea they will save Rome by ousting the mothers; so Elagabulus is killed in 222, and a different boy who loves lares, is installed. Resulting purge of Christians deprives Callistus of his life; Peter gets put on a Roman pope (really bishop's, refer to: "Bishop Lists: Formation of Apostolic Succession of Bishops in Ecclesiastical Crises (Gorgias Dissertations)") list for the first time (to make Christianity look both Roman and old), ousting Paul who formerly was on the list: by Julius Africanus, maybe-buddy of Demetrius of Alexandria, who envied Origen.

Matthew 24:23: Iesous/Christos, syllables 694-6, sevens at 696-192, spans 724 ~726 AD.
Leo III, seven years after he started ruling, first iconclast (back-to-Bible) movement in the Byzantine Empire; verse wryly echoes their own arguments against icondules; Mark 13 makes this time an anaphoric center for the aftermath when Leo dies. Also, success in again repelling the Arabs so Bible isn't destroyed (from God's perspective that would be key).

Parousia Anaphora
(God 'appears' through you learning His Word)

Matthew 24:3: parousia, syllables 135-8, sevens to prior amen at 135-58; spans 165 ~ 168 AD.
Start of the Antonine plagues. Many would interpret them as a 'sign' of the 'end'. Jews and Christians were blamed by the mobs (the no-other-god tenet of both groups seen as impious, even 'atheist', in Roman eyes). Some persecution begins, thus reinforcing 'sign' and 'appearance' of Lord to those persecuted. Also the 'sign' of more Bible dissemination, as God 'appears' to you via His Word (aphorism starts in Numbers 6 based on Moses' face when Lord appeared to him, to provide yet more Word).

Matthew 24:27: parousia, syllables 822-6, sevens at 821-135, spans 852 ~ 856 AD.
Michael III finally gets independence in March 856, away from his regents. Unfortunately, he does it by means of murder in 855, so that's how he too will die. However, during his reign his counterpart Charles the Bald in the northwest, ends up conquering Moravia, asks Michael III for some missionaries who invent what we call the Cyrillic alphabet after one of them, thus evangelising via a new Bible translation not only Moravia, but most of the Balkans and what will end up being called the Russias. All that is about seven years future of this time's end, so the clause ends with the very year Moravians are evangelised; which year, is three years after Ruskies raided the outskirts of Byzantium especially the monasteries, while yet pagans, and likely made off with many Bible manuscripts the monks were then copying for customers; Bibles richly illustrated and bound, so booty the pagans couldn't read... until three years later when the monks sent who had maybe only the Latin to work with, owing to the theft... got those Bibles back, given them by a now-grateful and reading, set of Russian converts, to whom the Lord thus 'appeared'. And it all starts here, in 852-6, because Michael III is freed up to say 'yes' to Charles.

Matthew 24:30a: parousia, syllables 927-33, sevens at 927-822, spans 957 ~ 963 AD.
Yay, decenary of Constantine VII's own independence, maybe his son's 21st year, free of conflict with his erstwhile regents and brothers-in-law, no small thanks to his wife, the daughter of one of the regents who wanted to appear to 'New Rome' as its savior, for a little too long. As a result, Constantine VII keeps writing, and his wife runs the day-to-day. These seven years also mark, for the first time since Leo III, Arabs driven out of the Empire. Additionally, fresh Russkie royal conversions occur, to reduce their post-conversion raids on the Byzantine Empire. Constantine VII dies in 959, so his parousia is real and eternal. End is marked by his son's (Romanos II) death in 963; his widow marries one of the generals, to protect her babies; her name is Theophanu. Both Mark 13 and Revelation 17 focus on her 'appearance', with Revelation 17 ending its chapter on play of the two Theophanu's.

Matthew 24:30b: parousia, syllables 955-61, sevens at 955-927, spans 985 ~ 991 AD.
One of those babies, Basil II, undertakes to make himself the savior of the Byzantine Empire and reconquers much of the former glory, only to die childless and forever single. During these years, he puts down his many usurpers (story should be a movie); finally has independence; by the end, him faking his sister as bride to quell Bulgarians, was reversed; he instead marries her off to Russia, her appearance causing conversion of bridegroom Vladimir I, already many-wived. This sets up two or more centuries of attempts by both Bulgars and Russians to conquer Byzantium as now vaguely their right by marriage. Even Otto I got a Byzantine princess bride to 'appear' back in 972: yet another Theophanu, married to Otto II, who was obsessed with the millennium; he had his own parousia, two years before this clause begins. Mark 13 and Revelation 17 focus on this couple, with Mark 13:26 bracketing same text to prior parental source, Constantine VII (same language as Matthew 24:30 here). At ton huion, Louis V reigns and dies, ending Carolingians; Vladimir I seeks a new religion (page 22 of A History of Russian Christianity, Vol. I: From the Earliest Years through Tsar Ivan IV, with more detail). How biting. By tou, he converts and marries Anna Porphyrogenita, daughter of Romanos II and Theophanu.

Matthew 24:37: parousia, syllables 1214-25, sevens at 1214-955, spans 1244 ~ 1255 AD.
Trojan-horse sacking of Byzantium yielded inter alia, many Greek manuscripts going to the West, in no small part due to pecuniary needs of the Latin Emperors, resulting in Byzantine's 'kingdom' extent, now barely beyond Constantinople's walls. These years mark the turning point, when the Greeks begin to take it back. Meanwhile, the Latin rulers are busy selling every relic (of which Bible is considered), for money to fight Arabs and Europeans who want Byzantium too, especially the now-normalized Norman French and a few 'Fredricks'. So Bible manuscripts appear all over Europe, not incidentally Spain where the Reconquista ends everywhere but Granada. Jews appear all over too, as the Reconquista means their expulsion; so nations nearby... echo. So many Jews go to Milan, Poland: these areas end up exempted from the Black Plagues, which appear about 93-8 years after this clause. That mid-tribulation-millennium's meter irony goes unnoticed, as Europe is busy with its new toy's appearance: Paris/Milan Bibles (refer to: Christopher de Hamel's "The Book: A History of the Bible" for more information), precursor of our modern form; by-friars portable, cheaper, and thus so popular, there are laws restricting its sale; so widely read and discussed, now folks gab: "oh maybe the Lord will appear in 1260 AD, given Daniel 12"! Of course when He didn't, they stopped reading Word and started persecuting Jews for not converting in time. So those plagues will flood in waves, to wipe out the fourth generation saying no...

Matthew 24:39: parousia, syllables 1298-1309, sevens at 1309-1225, spans 1328 ~ 1339 AD.
Given the negative volition, God again becomes a political tool, so by the end of this period everyone starts warring in His name. The formal Crusades ended in the Levant by 1291, the Arabs victorious; so now the crusaders, who enjoyed cannibalizing each other in the prior two crusades, now ramp it up; calling everyone a heretic, while popes play musical chairs. Byzantium was retaken by the Greeks in 1261; by now, they decline to asebes-astheneia in the 1st Venetian war, so Mark 13 will end at its aftermath (1311). Patient terminal, waiting coup de grace by the Arabs. Meanwhile, Normans in Britain/France are busy claiming they ought to run the place. So this Bible clause highlights juridical impetus for the Black Plagues (many, first one worst then in waves after) that will halve Europe... yet not stop the Hundred Years' War. Oh well. Sevening here is key: back in 1255, God was popular to learn, though misinterpreted. By the end, He's just a flag you wave, to feel holy.

Matthew 24:44: parousia, syllables 1456-62, sevens at 1456-1309, spans 1486 ~ 1492 AD.
And that's why you have Joan of Arc. Not Word, not Bible, but a slip of a girl whose visions are given weight to deflect attention on her not-Word; ended, sorta, the Hundred Years' War. She appeared, not Him. Fortunately for us, not everyone was agog with her signs and wonders, but instead prepared the Word in all those monasteries collecting dust; so now 56 years later, comes a sizeable revolt against popes and kings telling 'us' how to worship, chaining Bible; so for every Wycliffe and Hus (marked in Matthew by the first kurios, q.v), are thousands of peasants or even nobles, who want to read scripture ourselves. So right on cue, mirroring the same span as Joan lived, arrives the real vision, movable-type printing press to churn out Bibles by the hundreds. So now Byzantium's Bibles largely rescued a century prior, can be printed; given a much-depopulated yet repopulating Europe, folks got time and means to actually read it. Clerics objected of course, and so again cannibalizing infra crusades refuel; but mass interest now too widespread, means to control distribution of Bible, too weak. And right on time too, there's a New World to colonize, handy escape from persecution; even if you were imprisoned on a boat sent there. Sometimes slavery, is freedom.

Matthew 25:14: parousia, syllables 2035-7, sevens at 2037-1456, spans 2065 ~ 2067 AD.
As we've seen in all previous parousia, there is a preceding period of positive volition to God turned negative, warring, then evangelization; as a result, He 'appears' to those evangelized. Here, that result will last 600 years, to 2668. So our time is pivotal, to that outcome.

Matthew 25:24: parousia, syllables 2406-8, sevens at 2408-2037, spans 2436 ~ 2438 AD.

Matthew 25:31: parousia, syllables 2632-8, sevens at 2632-2408, spans 2662 ~ 2668 AD.

Kurios/numphios/Basileus Anaphora Trio
(true vs. false spouse/ruler/christ and who you choose to husband your decisions)

Matthew 24:42: kurios, syllables 1373-5, sevens to verse 39 parousia at 1375-1298; spans 1403 ~ 1405 AD.
Oh, how apt the text: "what slave will become faithful and wise, willing for the 'Peggity' of the unwashed, to teach them?" Well, how about John Wycliffe and Jan Hus? So the latter, inspired by the former, launches real Bible teaching in Moravia; this, triggered the Reformation. These years, Jan Hus spent translating Bible from Greek and Wycliffe, into Czech; teaching the meanwhile, apart from and hostile to, the papacy. Concurrently in England, pressure to outlaw Wycliffe's first-ever English translation of the Bible, motivates King Henry IV who liked his Wycliffite, to ban it. Between both lands, awareness of alternatives to popes and monks, generates interest in Bible translation, as the Italian renaissance fruits Hebrew manuscripts Jews in Milan, avidly copy and sell. Thus the Lord has a renewed 'advent' in believer hearts. It would last long enough for Gutenberg and the official Reformation, to take off.

• All kurios references in Matthew 24 ~ 25 denote this theme, each occurrence marking a specific teacher, Bible translation or manuscript find. Notice how they are grouped. He's been Lord (God) forever, comes to earth as bridegroom, rejected by the firstborn, Israel; so now out on the highways and byways, to collect harem Church. Into which, anyone who believes is born again, whether Jew or Gentile of flesh. Belief in Christ is betrothal; when He comes to collect the bride, He's King of Kings. When He comes back to earth to inaugurate the millennium, He's King of Israel, and she's queen of the nations; she divorced Him, but not He, her. So like Vashti, she retains her position. Church the new Esther, rules beside Him, not over Israel. As a good wife, the Church will be responsible for keeping the gentiles peaceful, so that Israel will have the 1000 years' of promised peace from her enemies. In the final 50 of that last 1050, Satan & Co. having been jailed the meanwhile, are allowed one last time to attempt takeover, after which they all get their eternal home alone AKA the lake of fire, in their new universe.
• So the question becomes: which christ, which salvation, which doctrine, do you believe? Who husbands your choices? Who's your lord, and who crowns your thoughts?

Matthew 24:45: kurios, syllables 1485-91, sevens at 1485-1373, spans 1515 ~ 1517 AD.
Zwingli, Erasmus, Luther. Reformation starts (officially).

Matthew 24:46: kurios, syllables 1520-22, sevens at 1520-1485, spans 1550 ~ 1552 AD.
John Knox, John Calvin, focus on English Reformation's impetus. Both men were just beginning their ministries.

Matthew 24:48: kurios, syllables 1581-3, sevens at 1583-1520, spans 1611 ~ 1613 AD.
First three editions (page 60 of Henry Cotton's Editions of the Bible and Parts Thereof in English, from the Year MDV. to MDCCCL., Volume 2) of KJV and their teachers. The KJV will be revised every few years thereafter.

Matthew 24:50: kurios, syllables 1610-2, sevens at 1612-1584, spans 1640 ~ 1642 AD.
End of a successful historical voting period (else world would have ended), and end of English reformation. During these specific years, Charles I is deposed for trying to usurp how to worship, learn Bible. Begins satirical use of 'false lord/bridegroom' for Matthew 25. Also, first printed book in US, 1640 metered Psalms translation. So this meter could have been known since the Colonies founded.

Matthew 25:11a: kurios, syllables 1985-6, sevens at 1984-1613, spans 2015 ~ 2016 AD.
This is our time; still stands for Bible manuscripts discovery, major change in teaching, false lord Revelation 17 politics (Donald Trump). Sevens to prior numphios at 1986-1944, pregnant distance of 42. Can't be more obvious; same vile politicizing-fetus crowd from the 1960's, now touts Trump as the Anointed (search even in Youtube on 'Seven Mountains' + 'Trump' + 'Anointed', go to rightwingwatch.org and read their collection of apostate Christian snippets or subscribe to them in X (formerly Twitter)). Ann Coulter's: In Trump We Trust, blind to his lies and thefts; X (formerly Twitter) memes depicting him as a hero, Christian praise despite his lewdness and Bible ignorance; his utter disdain for veterans, women, minorities; everything Jesus said do not, he does. Yet mainstream media Christians on TV and radio, constantly praise him as the savior of America. Matthew 25:10-11 is on your TV and X (formerly twitter) feed. Daily. What you don't know, is that the 'Seven Mountains' movement backing Trump, including Rafael Cruz, reverses Revelation 17, thinking God wants to unite Church and State. So, start watching their own videos. Once I realized this, I had to do this Matthew 24 writeup. This is why this period is pivotal to the outcome of Church. Rapture can occur if Church is too apostate and must be recalled, analogous to first temple going down. In which case, Church will not be complete, and Satan wins. That's what Revelation 17 warns. But if you politicize fetuses God says are not yet human (Genesis 2:7, very obvious), then you will reverse Revelation 17 also, with but little satanic 'help' 😘.

Matthew 25:11b: kurios, syllables 1987-8, sevens at 1988-1610, spans 2017 ~ 2018 AD.
Now add growing proof of Trump in Russia's pocket, and Trump breaking the emoluments, relatives, and every other law in our land against self-enrichment of those in public office, especially that of POTUS. All just going on, daily worse, and the alleged 'Christian' GOP allows and even encourages it, defends him. So he's their Lord by acquiescence, huh. Notice especially that those defending him, are far less sane than say a year before they jumped on the TrumpTrain 🚂. Compare those same droolers to their talk, a year prior. Borg collective. So of course they can't tell their 'lord' is a false messiah, they prefer orange!

Matthew 25:18: kurios, syllables 2167-9, sevens at 2169-1987, spans 2197 ~ 2199 AD.
This is within the last 1050 that Christ maps. So it could represent future history during the millennium, the rapture and tribulation happening sometime prior. Since Revelation 1-3 basically explains the rapture happens due to Church apostacy coinciding with her completion, it can happen any day. Criterion for the rapture isn't event-based or date-based, but maturation/apostasy, maxing out. One more day of Church, won't help anyone believe/grow. So up she goes, Revelation 4:1.

Matthew 25:1: numphios, syllables 1717-9, sevens to Matthew 24:50 kurios at 1717-1612; spans 1747 ~ 1749 AD.
War of Austrian succession, the first truly world war, all over who would husband Europe, since the Holy Roman Emperor died with only a female heir. Sets the pattern for all wars through WWII, the major impetus for the American War of Independence (to separate from all those nasty European wars). Especially biting: Matthew 24:50 is the first sarcastic use of kurios, for the deposition of Charles I who wanted to lord it over England, how she should worship and what Bible she can have. All uses of numphios, and future uses of kurios add that sarcastic 'layer': it proves most relevant in 'our' time, Matthew 25:11ff. First Great Awakening.

Note the full-circle quality of history: 2000+ years ago, a woman in a dusty little country seems to have a Child out of wedlock, Who ends up being the predicted Messiah. So the legitimacy of such a claim retains its pssst-pssst character, as the first Christian empire is founded based on that Kid, by Constantine who himself might not have been legitimate, either. So those supporting him and those not, argue over legitimacy for the next 2000 years, all of them trying to re-create the alleged glory of Rome that existed when that Kid, was here. For his part, Constantine wanted to start a New Rome somewhat east of the old one, but then 1100 or so years later the Arabs took it over, and now the old Rome still limps along, many times reconstructed... until World War I, ends. Hitler tried to revive it, still the Europeans try, and Putin wants to rebuild the Constantine thing, ever the desire of the east (called renovatio, look it up). Now, via some goofball claim of past white Christian glory, it's a heady lie to be slurped in TrumpLaLaLandia, with blonde counterparts in Europe thirsty for the same. North vs. South now on global scale, whiteys against non-whiteys, just as vommunist Chinese foreign diplomats long warned their non-white counterparts in below-equator capitals.

So do you wonder, that in 1749, a guy wrote a metered translation of 2 Samuel 23, "The Last Words of David" (The Last Words of David, Divided According to the Metre. with Notes Critical and Explanatory. by Richard Grey)? Book's author missed how David sevened so you got to his age when he writes, 77. Which yes Isaiah 53 used for his meter, as did Matthew 1 (playing on Davidic 14s), and Luke 3, genealogies that confuse scholars who can't read either 1 Kings 6:1 or that 1749 book. This is why scholars think the Bible's dates are wrong: they don't read the Bible's dates properly, but use Josephus. Just in time for all those scholar tomes in the next century when Bible manuscripts were collated by the thousands; by then, hundreds of such metered translations would exist (Henry Cotton's Editions of the Bible and Parts Thereof in English, from the Year MDV. to MDCCCL., Volume 2); no one realizing hey, these syllable counts are divisible by SEVEN!

Matthew 25:5: numphios, syllables 1789-91, sevens at 1789-1719, spans 1819 ~ 1821 AD.
Seventy years later: first find of Codex Aleph (partial), first vision by faker-suitor Joseph Smith, and cult of Nappy-who-just-died-coming-back*-to-save-world**, begins. It's also the start of a massive pan-denominational fervor to find all the extant Bible manuscripts, collate and correct them, translate them. From here on, every year someone retranslates the Bible to take into account the latest mss scholarship. Theologies and divinity schools flourish, as do missions, even until now. 200 years ago, scholars were interested in Bible, not politics; it was a time of creating lexicons and translations that we still use today, never mind what milquetoast pulpits pander. Revival fervor also begins anew, culminating in the second Great Awakening. This is when Millerites, SDA, other experience-not-Bible movements are born.

Bible interest runs in 200 year cycles. We are at the end of one. If you look back in history, starting at the Cross, you can see Bible interest wax and wane; by 200 AD, no one wanted to learn the Greek (see Max Cary's History of Rome, penultimate chapter). Thereafter, as crises came and went (refer to: Christopher de Hamel's "The Book: A History of the Bible" for more information), Bible interest rose or fell; sometimes it took a bit longer than 200 years, but not much beyond that. The Paris Bibles were all the rage when first disseminated in the early 1100's; by 1300, while no one would discard his, no one wanted new ones. 200 years after that, is the Reformation; 200 years next is the Renaissance (so called because it was anti-Bible and therefore must be good); then 1900s.. and well, here we are.

Matthew 25:6: numphios, syllables 1815-7, sevens at 1817-1789, spans 1845 ~ 1847 AD.
Codex Aleph (main ones) found, Joseph Smith dies (1844), Mormonism founded in Salt Lake City. Intensification of the verse 5 trend, continues. Official second Great Awakening is usually tagged to 1857 et seq.

Matthew 25:10: numphios, syllables 1944-6, sevens at 1943-1817, spans 1974 ~ 1976 AD.
Codex Aleph (another one) found; 'prolife' Christians make Ronald Reagan and every other GOP candidate, a new groom. Fervor of apostolic revivalist 1820s et seq., institutionalized; every seminary contained their tomes and every demonation created its own Bible translation. Every false doctrine remains, and many corrected ones are known yet still debated. So politics inserted to deflect, even as Joan d'Arc. Thus prolife blasphemy flowers, ersatz scholarship of prosperity gospel with no Biblicity and less sense. Seven Mountains dominionism is born, from 3-way same 'vision' by three apostates:

1. Bill Bright
2. Loren Cunningham
3. Francis Schaeffer

All in 1975. It is the movement behind Donald Trump in 2015 et seq. Becomes the New Apostolic Reformation circa 1998 when text says the Lord shuts the door. (Many references in Youtube by the practitioners, and Google web searches). Word is tossed out in favor of 'apostles' and 'prophets' whose spoken word, is instead followed.

Matthew 25:34: Basileus, syllables 2739-43, sevens at 2743-2638 parousia or 2743-1945 numphios or 2738-1947, spans 2769 ~ 2773 AD.

Matthew 25:40: Basileus, syllables 2945-9, sevens at 2949-2743, spans 2975 ~ 2979 AD.

Mark 13 Poetic Meter
Prophecy of Byzantine Empire

Anaphora Keyword Notes

For Rome prior to Odovacer, I compiled a chrono chart of weblinks to universities, etc. to cross-reference and describe events Paul tags. It first has links to the contemporary/university authors, plus then a set of bracketed AD-year links to click on (here) for more specific info.

Mark seems to use classical Greek pronunciation, except for Hebrew names. He also writes in haste, so variants with extra kai's, gar, etc. in Matt24 or Luke 21, Mark likely omits. He counts their syllables, then changes the text to derive his own complementary counts. Sometimes omitting small words or changing tenses, is enough.

Mark plays on his own dateline of 24 years to Millennium (first clause), also at its end, which is 1050+224, which is the number of syllables in God's Reply to Daniel (9:24-27), 231, minus that last 7 years of Tribulation. Clever way to prove yes pre-Trib Rapture is valid. It would matter a bunch after the 1050 elapsed to know that, as folks from Rome to Kiev misread Daniel 12 to think that 1260 AD would be 'the end'. Matt24 is written 63 years-to-Mill; Luke 21 was written 35 years 'til the Mill. All Bible writers dateline their text via formulas of years from a past event and/or years to a future event (both well-known, to set tone of the new writing). So Mark follows convention. Still 30 AD for the speech itself (so add 30 to all meter numbers to convert to 'our' AD). So Mark too employs the 63 with dual-entendre: he writes 63 years after Judaea is a province. Equidistance number punning is common to all starts and endings of Bible books and as here, even chapters. Makes them witty, profound, easy to remember for folks who memorized large bunches of text so they wouldn't have to schlep around, heavy scrolls or codices.

Second dateline of 91 is even more provocative, being as Jerusalem is surrounded by armies when Mark writes, Pesach 69 AD. Otho will soon kill himself, (April 16, 69, so Pesach was 12 days prior). Herod's kingship officially began 40 BC, per the Roman Senate. However he had to fight for it once in Jerusalem, so the clever use of 91 dating back to when Herod HAD consolidated thus started to build his own palace and married Mariamne daughter of the high priest = the 18th year, if you count from 40BC not 37. Sarcasm is bald: human, all you build up will not have one stone left on another.. just as the text of the story, opens. Datelines always set text themes.

Third dateline (unusual) is 119, tags when Caesar crossed the Rubicon as Otho had just done (the latter went north). Civil war was in Rome equally at both times, as Mark writes in the Year of the Four Emperors; Vespasian just started his own bid. Exactly one year after Mark writes, Titus begins final Temple takedown; his dad Vespasian, would become Emperor 8 months after Mark writes. Perhaps Mark wrote Hebrews (dated to Chanukah, a few days after Vespasian's accession)?

In the Matt and Luke texts, syllable-count distances between anaphora (amen legw humin and parousia clauses), and keywords are each divisible by seven. So too, the highlights here. The first amen legw humin here is only in the Beza (D05) text, but it sevens and uses hoti in both places, which looks deliberate since the first amen legw humin in Matthew 24 didn't use hoti (on purpose, so the distance are always divisible by 3 or 7). The very end of the first Matt24 amen legw humin is where Mark (I submit) deliberately adds his first, adding hoti to cause syllables to seven at his second dateline, of 91. As a result, a clean sevening between both occurrences at 63, 91 and 1050 occurs: the 1050 thus balances to both Luke 21 and Matt24's, as well as to Gen1 (which also ends at 1050). So the first amen legw humin is not dittography. It has provably anaphora/choral meaning, given the text. Look how both 'bookends' concatenate:

Believe Me when I tell you that not one stone will be left upon another; this generation will not end until all this has come to pass.

Next, playing on Paul's meter in Ephesians 1:3-14, Mark uses anaphora keywords. Paul played on Matt24 and Luke 21 to craft his, but the satire linking to an Emperor's death was unique to Paul, who uses Emperor deaths to trace the death of Bible interest, which led to Western Rome's downfall. Mark thus does the same for the East, and he uses 'see' (which requires you be ALIVE) to mark their deaths. Bitingly.

Thus Blepw/ide/semion distances are anaphora keywords, just as Matt24 and Luke 21 SEVEN distances between theirs (i.e., amen, parousia, huios, kurios, numphios). The distances are doctrinally significant for the events benchmarked, to 'center' on the prophecy's historical nexus via their occurrences (i.e., if a phrase is repeated 5 times, the center is 3rd). If they seven, it's also likely that totals between are right; any syllable counting errors, offset by the end points. That narrows the search area for auditing counts.

Synonymally, ide (from horaw) is used, and also sevens. Those references will be interspersed here as ἴδε . So the reader can track the emperors while he reads, as Daniel did during his meter for his Chapter 9 prayer. 'To prove yes god knows what time it is for Eastern believers keen on relics, magic, 'signs'. I rarely see (heh) Bible-related events. Maybe you will.

Semeion is an object of sight, so it's a synonym and sevens, as well.

Mark 13:1, ἴδε syll 29-30, covers 59-60 AD. Nero kills his mom Agrippina for his own 21st birthday, at the start of 59. It didn't work the first time, so he dispatched assassins. Sets the tone: a Medea or Oedipal Byzantine history, follows. Since Paul centered on the Severan mothers for his anaphora, it certainly makes sense for Mark to start with Nero then newly DEAD when Mark writes, who isn't seeing any beautiful buildings; rather, Rome's own beautimous buildings are threatened.

Mark 13:2 Iesous @syll 45-47 and Blepw, syll 52-53, so covers 82-83 AD. Could tag Titus' end (rounding) and/or Domitian start (the good years), like Matt24 text does at its first Blep. Get the pun? Titus isn't seeing anything anymore, but it was under him that the Temple fell, and when he dies no stone is atop another on Pompeii, either; nor will he see the beautiful buildings Domitian will build to deify him and the dad. Everyone else sees Domitian in his early piety period (to make himself look good, deifies his family), before he goes wacko as a martinet. BTW, Mark follows Daniel 9's structure, as Matthew 24-25 did, except Daniel covered the past kings one syllable per year, through his verse 13. So Mark like Paul, starts with the past, but quickly goes future. Nero/Titus/Domitian is current, with few years past, when Mark writes: everyone knows who they are. To list some past, helps readers 'get' your style of wit; then, they read each year's 'news'. For the test of God, is that what He says, comes true: Deut 18:22. So now you follow annually, to see that the Word of God is true. Yet it's not boring. Everyone loves satire. Ergo, these anaphora.

Mark 13:4 to semeion @syll 150-4, covers 180-83 AD. Aurelius died 180, and his natural son Commodus, made Caesar since age 5, now rules alone. Matt24:4 benchmarks it with the apokritheis keyword. (Not sure what to say of Luke 21 yet.) Paul satirized Commodus' 177/78 AD promotion to co-emperor then accession, in Eph1:7 as κατὰ τὸ πλοῦτος τῆς χάριτος αὐτου, given that our boy would become famous for his greed by 183 (end of his good years). Since Mark's Gospel is all about signs of Christ which people ignore, to link up future Commodus with the deathbed discourse of Christ here as a sign, is wryly apt for a trend of history: 'sign' that all these things are always 'about to be' (μέλλῃ). Donald Trump is the current iteration of the Commodus 'sign' of greedy Christians politicking, so the Empire goes down. For this is the rise of Ireneaus, then Tertullian, and Origen as their most famous greedy proponent of false doctrine. This is when the pope myth is born, a device used to combat pagan claims Christianity was new and thus false. Bible goes right out the window, via these people.

Mark 13:5 Iesous @syll 166-69 and Blepw, syll 177-179. Sevens at 179-53. Runs 207-209 AD, when Septimius Severus became ill, upon arrival in Britain with his quarrelling sons. So first he sees death of any reconciliation, then they see his death in 211. Ouch. Sic transit gloria mundi. Severus, very deceived, convinces himself that Caracalla won't kill Geta when Daddy's gout ends; his own wife and her sisters will claim incest in his name, to raise unrelated kids to the purple, 7+ years after Daddy dies.

Mark 13:9, Blepw syll 296-298. CENTER of Blepw anaphora: sevens at 298-179 and prior. Spans 209-328 AD, the word running 326-329 AD, like Paul does with his anaphora, except that Paul used Trinity meter. Again, as did Paul, the Mark text describes what actually happens (persecution, infra-Christian). Constantine killed Licinius 325 despite telling his sister he wouldn't, then killed both his own wife and son Crispus; his mom died in 329, he dedicated Nova Roma in 330, but started building it supposedly four years prior (seems too short). Lots of Christian fighting, proverbial that you couldn't have a haircut w/o debate over whether Christ was Divine or merely human.

So of course Mark's repackaging of Christ's wording keys off Ephesians 1:11-12, re bringing together under one head, making a first fruits offering, in Mark 13:9-10; cuz first the Gospel must be preached! So Constantine's own death must be satirized -- Paul reserved middle of proelpikotas in Eph1:12 for it, so Mark tags the same death in middle of παραδώσουσιν here -- C's firstfruit kiddies then kill many of their relatives within 91 days after Dad died; then began warring over whether God was One or Three, coupled with Christian prelates cannibalizing each other; resulted in everyone betraying his brother for a witness: flaying, extra.

Mark 13:14, ἴδε syll 511-13, covers 541-43 AD. Justinian I (wife Theodora). Two Ostragothic kings, Ildibad and Eraric war with Byzantium, die in 541. Next, 542-3 AD, bubonic plague hits; J himself nearly dies from it. Plotters for his alleged successor, die. Wonder if Justinian noeito'd he built an Abomination temple to mary atop the Holy of Holies 527 AD et seq. 3rd year of Justinian bid to revive Rome Empire, seek alignment with Pope, beats Goths, rejects Three Chapters. In 551, Beirut earthquake takes thousands.

Mark 13:21, ἴδε twice and seven apart with ho christos baldly in between, syll 749-50, then 756-7, covers 779-80 then 786-7 AD. This is the center of the chapter. One more way to know 'or' isn't between the ides. Bad news bears Irene, schemes to capitalize on her husband's death, Leo IV (780). Wash rinse repeat with her kid Constantine VI, cuz now mommy Irene is Regent. She worms her religious way into the prelates' hearts, so that by the time VI was 16 in 787, she wouldn't yield her regency. So it's a type of death, but not physical. Yet. Meanwhile, much inner death results from venerating all those statues of alleged saints alongside Christ, rather than His Real Book.

To get back to Blepw in v.23, the sevening distance is cutely 755 to 811=56.

Mark 13:22 semeia kai terata @syll 785-91, covers 815-21 AD. Sevens at syll 785-757 in v.21. Terata gets included, as it is the type of 'sign' which makes people marvel and polarize, resulting in controversy between those who believed the wonder, and those who do not. Since our gal Irene died in 803 AD, it's a result of her. This one, is Leo V (covered in v.20 and hostile contemporary account in Chapters 1-2, here), who assumed power via coup in 813 over Michael I Rangabe (also covered in v.20). Leo of course dies violently at the end, on Christmas Day, 820, murdered while in church. Sign of the times. All greedy for power like Commodus was, but in the name of God!

Mark 13:23, Blepw syll 809-811. Sevens blepw-blepw, at 809 (blepw inside the nest, here v. 23) -298 (center blepw outside the nest, v.9) =511, same length as kurios 'nest'. Ends first internal nexus. Spans 839-841 AD. Covers Theophilos, son of Michael II (820-829, v.22's τα πρὸς τὸ ἀποπλανᾶν, εἰ δυν, hostile contemporary account in Chapter 3-4 here and v20, largely marked by a 'deceiver' Thomas, who claimed to be a still-alive Constantine VI), a rabidly-iconoclast ruler. So that's pro-Bible (as pro- as the Byzantines ever got). Focus is on Anatolia and especially how Arabs lost in 839+ due to internal plots; caliph al-Mu'tasim dies (from illness) in 841. So All-Seeing God Who Told You In Advance, has Mark keep on marking deaths of rulers and reversals.. but not always Roman Emperors, huh. Theo himself dies JANUARY 842. The following year is considered by historians to be the end of the 'reconstruction' period for Byz, and its 'golden age' then starts, ending in 1071. Text here seems to say the opposite.

Michael III's his kid (contemporary account in Chapter 5 here), rules to the end of v.24a (murdered in 867 by his best friend, Basil; covered in Chap 6). Resurgence of Irene-like mother-son fighting & icon worship starting 842 due to his dad's death. So the bookend parallel is made to Constantine I killing his own mother, son, and his own sons fighting with each other over 'God' (verse 8). That kind of reversal, here. Told here in advance by Christ then history. So we're not surprised that language similar to v.24b, corresponding to Leo VI's reign, heads Chapter 7, Sections 8,28 & 34, footnote 103 of the life of Leo VI (p200 & 211 of pdf), penned by Scylitzes.

Mark 13:26, ἴδε syll 893-5, covers 923-5 AD. Since it's hooked up with huios, click here for the details. This is the END of a second internal nexus, as it both sevens to, and hooks up with, both kurios in v.20, and blepw/ide in v.21. On its own, it also starts the huios anaphora nest within kurios. This endpoint is made bald by sevening the cumulative totals (here, at 910). V24-26 end in a sevening, and v20-23 end in a sevening. Somehow v.23 and this v.26 are turning points in history.

Mark 13:29, ἴδε syll 1019-20, covers 1049-50 AD. Purple-born Zoe (daughter of Constantine VIII) dies 1050; her third husband Constantine IX survives her as the Emperor not a mere consort; he lives another five years. Zoe's purple-born co-empress sister Theodora, also survives another six years (end of Mark 13:29a), end of Macedonian line; Empire declines (so yeah door is engus=1083; of fighting noble families, Komnenoi finally win; Alexios I Komnenos consolidates his power; to defeat the Seljuks, he invokes Western support, becomes Emperor of 1st Crusade (v.30b here), himself dying at mou in v.31). How ironic: Bible gets out, away from political domination; her mistakes make her territory look ripe for plucking. 21 years later, an Arab nearly does -- then his son decides on fig-tree Jeru, instead.

Mark 13:33, Blepw syll 1134-1136. Sevens at 1134-812, so runs 1164-1166 AD. Manuel I, son of John II Comnenus (who dies end v.32), so born to the purple (literally). Big reformer, high on the arts and learning, good negotiator, solves problems without violence as a preference, kinda like the eastern equiv of Charlemagne. Iconoclast, but apparently not rabid. His big problem was no heir. His first wife dies and he marries another. He was big on letting the monasteries be autonomous and tax-free; but in so doing, he depletes the full treasury his dad left him. Worse, he has a son Alexius II born 1171, gone by puberty (1183), run by his mom; so usurper Andronikos I (nasty cousin of Manuel who escapes prison for treason against Manuel, in 1165) took over, killed the boy. Massive palace intrigue and wars still continue, so will bring on the sack of Constantinople. For Manuel I had died 1180 @start of ἐστιν, get the pun? Under him, the alleged 'golden age' of Byzantium, quickly unraveled when he died, an hour no one expected.

All five Blepw anaphora keywords have same 'reversal' quality as Paul used for the eta in thelematos, but focus on undoing of predecessor's achievements due to incompetnce/corruption in successor or vice versa.

The other keywords are nested in pairs, and seven to each other. They 'contain' the last two Blepw verses. This is just like Paul's style. Kurios forms the outer 'shell at v.20 and v.35. In between, are verses 26 and 32, which contain the huios references. The two v.23 and v.33 Blepw verses in turn, 'sandwich' the huios referenes, making for a third 'nest'. Amazing. From this structure it should become obvious how God interrelates the events depicted by the keywords' order of occurrence: God Sees the Son. Clever PREGNANT way to remember the outline of the text! Since Mark was around Paul so much, he would have been familiar with Paul's constantly using pregnancy as a style in all his letters (i.e., Romans 8:22 is theme of that chapter). So think: now you know EXACTLY how Christ's nature works, no need to FIGHT or hold councils to argue! Clear proof that the folks who had the original mss, whose tongue was a version of the same language.. couldn't even count syllables. But you can.

Kurios refs (in Matt24-25, these are keywords for Bible translations, manuscript finds, reformers):

Mark 13:20, sylls 702-4, 1st kurios creates the 'center' nexus for all three 'nests' starts 732-734 AD. (See also verses 35, 21, 26 ; verse 23 ends first internal nexus.) We can call this 'center' for two big reasons. First, it's synonymal to Ἰησοῦς (and sevens to its v.5 occurrence, 701-169 or 705=166+539=77 sevens, age of David @ death, Christ 77th Son in Luke3, and 490, lol), which was used twice before (verses 2 and 5), so this kurios is third instance; its companion ho christos in v.21 makes this a pair. Since there are 8 total occurrences of Iesous or synonyms of Him, only a pair works to get center (so that both sides are equal). So that center, must be verses 20-21.

Add now, fact ὁ υἱός is used thrice, first as τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου in verse 26, then simple nominative ὁ υἱός in v.32; finally, ἄνθρωπος in v.34. So v.26 starts huios anaphora -- which is wholly nested inside kurios. He's the Center of history, get the pun? So Mark uses the same roping anaphora style as Paul's epainon, linking from the center (which incidentally is yet another proof Mark's Gospel, is third). That was Ephesians 1:12, focusing on Constantine, 320-334 sylls=AD. So Mark does that too, shooting over this v.20, to hook Constantinian meter in v.9, to v.23.

So note how the distance from the end of the kurios keyword here in v.20, to just before the start of v.35's kurios, is 511. So the distance between, sevens. Thus our next task is to find where is the overlap. To do that, we need find the center of the only other keyword left, blepw (ide being synonymal). The internal center of blepw alone, is verse 9 (3rd of 5 occurrences). The internal center of blepw+ide, is a pair within verse 21 (6th of 11 occurrences). Note also that ho christos is sandwiched in between, creating another sevened roping from kurios (distance is 49, between).

So why this period? Battle of Tours/Poitiers was 732/3. In the East, Leo III (deemed the restorer of Empire, a major cultural goal among folks living in the East), was a big reformer, instituting helpful reduction in tax burdens and serf suffering; he was also against icon veneration (little dolls like ancient lares, but supposedly of Christ and saints, also relics and paintings of same), so he waged war against the clerics; so in 732 the Pope anathametized him and his fellow iconoclasts; so Leo took Papal territory in Italy. In 740 he stopped the Arabs, cutting their days in his land.. short. But he maybe was pro-forced conversion of Jews? His son will be famous reformer-successor in 741, Constantine V, who was crowned at age 2, in 720 (690 in meter, haha). So Bible frees up during this time.

Constantine V, like his dad Leo III, was an avid reformer. He wanted back to the bible and most of Constantinople did too, rather than icons and rituals, summoning a (Hiereia) council to reason out why icons should be banned, in 754. In short, he wanted to rid Byzantium of falsehood built up over the centuries, resulting in monasteries and monks who invented a host of heaven to worship, not the real Word. So yeah, Bible frees up a lot during this time, as the council was attended by like-minded prelates. These three years were their strongest period. After C dies in 775 AD, they will be reversed by his power-mad daughter-in-law crowned Irene, a Pulcheria-type schemer, when her husband (CV's son) Leo IV, dies 780 AD (see v.21). At that point she takes over as regent for their son Constantine VI. All his short life (he dies in 797), they fought; she dies five years later. So again, this shows the closest thing to a 'reformation' happening in the East, the back-and-forth of icon veneration. So Bible is freed up during the no-icon ascendency periods.

Then arrives Nikephorous, ruled 802-811, start of v.22. Cute for Mark to tag him as 'rising' and a pseudo-christ in v.22. He is unrelated to the dynasty, was an official under Irene, staged a coup d'etat against her. He rules until 811, when he dies and his son replaces, only to be overthrown again. Nike was 'neutral' to the iconoclasts. That meant Bible was freer to move around.

But the Empire was in financial straits. So flipside, Nike instituted massive, mainly tax-related reforms to get money, called 'vexations' by his critics. But his foreign policy essentially protected Anatolia (where Paul spent much of his missionary time) from the Arabs, starting in 809 when the Arab ruler died. Exit window. During that same time he bested Charlemagne re territories in Italy and Dalmatia, getting peace in 810. He dies the following year, after a nearly successful campaign against the Bulgars; but after winning, he gets trapped by their retreating army, and dies. This too needs to be a movie. Why it matters: after Nikephorous' son dies, there is an interregnum followed by a tug-of-war with pro-icon and anti-Rome religiosity, which threatens to close the Bible door. Makes sense, as Nikephorous' son-in-law Michael I Rhangabe ruled next, ending spring 813. Replacing him (by coup d'etat) is a former general, Leo V, representing a victory for the iconclasts, 813-820. Then on Christmas Day, he's murdered brutally in a church by his former friend who Leo jailed, Michael II (hostile contemporary account in Chapter 3, here, note icondules/iconphiles were very anti-semitic); so now a new dark period, ensues.

Next, Mark 13:35, starts at 1216 thru 1219 (incl. article), sevens from kurios to kurios, @1215-704=511 again (see also v.23), =1246-1249 AD. This covers Latin Baldwin II in the East, the last Latin Emperor, who kept selling priceless religious artefacts to avoid takeover. So he probably sold Bible manuscripts. The 'empire' was little more than the city of Constantinople at this point. The period focuses on his time in France (which I can't research), trying to raise money to defend against the Mongols, Arabs/Turks (Crusades in last phase), the Bulgars, etc. Above all, to defend against the Palaiologoi, who aimed to retake Constantinople and restore the Byzantine Empire in his stead. This also happens to be the heyday of Bible collection, translation, publication, as little Bibles were wildly popular; Paris was one of the centers for making those Bibles, along with Milan. Baldwin II has a bunch of them to sell. Irony here is that the popularity of Bibles was too often due to people drooling over the Rapture/2nd Advent based on a misreading of Daniel 12's 1260, thinking it signified the AD year 1260. So when it came and went, they lost interest in Bible. So the Lord suddenly came home to them via the Word, but oh well...

Yet due to Baldwin's mendicancy he forms alliances in the West (being himself from Flanders) that will later nearly topple Michael VIII (who retook Constantinople in 1261). Point is, Baldwin II's straits led to much freer dissemination of the Greek mss than had hitherto been possible. After 1261 for decades, Michael and his successors will be boxed in a simmering two-front conflict (Arabs/Turks, Mongols on East and Papacy coalitions in West).

Empire falls apart after MVIII dies; Mark 13 ends at just after the 1st Venetian war w MVIII's son Andronikos II; he had to play the Daniel 11 trick of strategic marriage, and marry off even his baby daughter to get the backing for fighting or stop hostilities; on the heels of all that in 1305, unofficial then official civil war started w his grandson (who wins, so II ends up a monk). Someone should turn the story into a movie. Bottom line, the West got a lot of mss out of this, both when they sacked Rome and when they were driven out.

Meanwhile, there was a 'kingdom' of Nicaea, which John III Vatatzes rules. His empire was northwest 1/3 of Anatolia, Paul's old stomping grounds. By 1246 he'd been in power 20+ years despite opposition by his fellow Byzantines (for the old Empire split up during the Latin control of Constantinople). During 1246-1249 he managed to capture territory surrounding Constantinople on the other side of the Bosphorus. During the interim, he'd been in talks to reconcile with the West, but they didn't work due to doctrinal differences. So it's safe to assume that with all the warring, changes of territory, etc. that many Bible manuscripts got out. It's also safe to assume that any Bible-reading Christians were either protected or left the area during the takeovers. This matters much during this time, as it was the heyday of Bible learning in the West, and both Paris and Milan were hungry for mss. Same was going on in Spain, even among Muslim rulers who remained during the Reconquista (Granada, I think?) so that trade in Bible would be higher than normal.

Huios references (in Matthew 24-25, these are keywords for missionaries, Bible translations):

Mark 13:26, ἴδε and huios, starts syll 896-8. The huios sevens to prior kurios as 898-702=196; period spans 926-8 AD; it's coupled with ἴδε anaphora, so period runs 923-8. This period covers Constantine VII and his regent, Romanos I Lekapenos (who started rule in 920; Chapter 10 here, but start in Chapter 9 for context; CVII himself ruling alone, is in Chapter 11). These years 'saw' Bulgarian independence (who won added territory). Simeon I the Great of Bulgaria, was consecrated as Basileus by Nicholas Mystikos in 913, but the regents wouldn't recognize Simeon; so the latter renewed war against Byzantium; Romanos, after becoming Emperor, in 924 negotiates a peace with Simeon, who then dies in 927. Mystikos himself, dies in 925. Contemporary account, is in Chapters 9ff, here.

Mark's 2nd Advent language here is baffling, especially as it sevens in 26a, dysyntactically. However, when you read Chapter 9 Section 2 here, you see Mark's prophetic satire on their thinking (starts at p.222 of the pdf linked). 'Savior' musical chairs, all in the name of a 'son' in his minority. See the Son be Mocked.

Puppet Patriarch of Constantinople, Stephen II Amasea, died 928, replaced by Tryphon, appointed by Romanos I until the latter's son Theophylaktos -- castrated to help his career in the church?! -- to be of age (16!) for the post, three years later. So Mark mocks the blatant manipulation of state vs. church.

Backstory: Leo VI married his mistress Zoe in 901 and then-patriarch Nicholas Mystikos, refused to consecrate the marriage. So VII was indeed born four years later in the purple chamber, but shouldn't have been allowed there. So Leo ousted Mystikos, installed someone else, but then died; so Mystikos returns as one of the regents for VII. War with Bulgaria ending 913 included a deal of VII marrying a Bulgarian princess; 'the people' got upset with that; so Mystikos was ousted again, and the marriage didn't happen. Zoe then plays games, so Bulgarian war restarts, has setbacks, so enter our admiral Romanos to save Byzantium; so he becomes the head regent in 919 (competing powers, shaken!), ensuite emperor; VII's married off to Romanos' daughter, right where Mark 13:26's 'ton huion' begins. Aha. So Romanos is the Savior arriving with the clouds, four corners depicting the four co-emperors by 926, his own sons plus oh yeah that's right, we almost forgot.. Constantine VII. Yikes. So what goes around comes around, lo! By 940 AD a son is born to CVII; now the bros must oust daddy, who regrets how he treated CVII?! Worse, a year prior Otto I wanted to make a marriage alliance with VII (and did, see OttoII), just as CHARLEMAGNE tried in 780s et seq. Off again on again, Daniel 11-type behavior. Cuz Satan's trying to CREATE Rev 17 conditions, get it? (Romanos II is covered in Skylitzes Chapter 12.)

Epilogue: by the end of μετὰ δυνάμεως in Mark 13:26b (Romanos I tonsured mid-δυνάμεως), start 946 AD, everyone's gone but Constantine VII; by 949, the arranged marriage Romanos made for CVII's son back in 945 (to illegit daughter of Hugh King of the Franks), also ended (the girl died at kai, when she was 9-10 years old). Kinda like the Elizabeth I story. So with power, alright. God doesn't like it when duly-constituted authority is usurped, even if that authority is bad. Over the next 13 years VII's cordial with Cordoba (where Jews who copied OT lived), and with Kievan Rus. So maybe some Bible mss got out and taught? I can't tell. VII dies in 959, at v.27's λεῖ. His son Romanos II dies at the end of the verse, and the 'angel' who replaces him, is Nikephoros II (Chapter 14, Scylitzes). Ha: at end of v.27's ἐπισυνάξει, he dies.

Now for the punchline: Nikephorus II takes over next, marries the widow of Romanus II (stories contradict, Psellos' vs Scylitzes Chapters 12-16). Her name was Theophanu or Theophano. Romanus had picked her as his second wife, his first dying when he was age 10-12 and she about 9-12, supposedly illegitimate child of Hugh, the king of the Franks. His second marriage was about 956, so he was about 16-18, and Theophano (nee Anastaso) was about two years younger. When RII dies in 963, she had three kids by him, one newly born; she either solicited Nikephorus' hand or he insisted on it to legitimate his usurpation, that same year. So now Nikephorus II reigns, his taxation and alleged cruelty being so onerous, a relative John Tzimiskes, alleged new lover of Theophanu, hacks NII to death in his sleep. Whereupon John takes over; but the monks intervene and disallow him marrying Theophanu; so he sends her to a monastery, marries someone else, but since her boys were already crowned, he rears them as his successors: Basil, Constantine, Anna. John defeats the Bulgars and Russians; then sends his niece to marry Otto II; her name is also.. Theophanu. Thus he solidified his own legitimacy and kept Byz Italian territory, with better peace.

Revelation 17's meter often tags Mark 13, and ends on the punchline, the RII-Theophanu marriage in 956. It can't be coincidental; from Constantine VII onward, the imperial deaths, births, marriages of both East and West 'Rome', converge repeatedly.

Mark's biting use of 'son' for Constantine VII deftly tags a Henry VIII-Anne Boleyn kind of split with the Byzantine equivalent of the papacy. But this time, a son is born, his dad replaces the 'pope', then dies himself, only to be replaced with someone outside the family as regent for that same son; the outsider, like Stilicho, marries off his daughter to that son to legitimize himself; with the one who refused to consecrate the marriage having also been and remaining, regent for that son. But the real son himself is never seen; or, is only seen with his supposed guardian-messengers gathering everyone; that son instead really spends his life writing books no one reads (hint hint, no one's reading the Bible in Byzantium, though they preserve it in Greek).

You can't make this stuff up.

So Mark's sevening blocks off the period from 850 (start verse 24) to 940 AD (end verse 26a) as full of apocalypse-ending signs: darkened sun and moon, falling stars, powers of the heavens shaken, then deux ex machina in comes the outsider with his many servants, gathering the remnant back to a new rule, and a new peace. So that period in Byzantium, spans Michael III and his disastrous mother, to Romanos I who rises due to another disastrous mother. Consistent with all the ide references, always playing on Ephesians 1:9, 12 prophetical meter-mocking of Severan mothers, then Constantine I.

Mark 13:32, syll 1126-1128, which corresponds to 1156-1158 AD. Earlier part of Manuel I (see also v.33), centers on him avenging the Cyprus invasion; frankly there was a lot going on during these years. Afterwards, he contracted marital and political alliances with Hungary, then the Russians, as he had no son (haha); so it was more important than usual, to keep Fredrick Barbarossa of Italy, at bay. I don't see any missionary data other than Christianization of Estonia. However, Roman church was undergoing schism, so too the always-contentious prelates in Constantinople; with Manuel, successfully mediating.

The huios refs seven to each other at 1127-896=231. That's the same meter as God's Reply in Daniel 9:24-27. Here it seems unusual, maybe syllable count is one off within the section. Common theme might be Emperor as Reformer (the 'mission'). Sadly, I can't find anything special in Bible translations or mss. In the East, Greek mss were common. It wasn't so much that the texts were kidnapped, as in the West; but rather, people cared more for the emotional ritual and icon junk. Or so it seems. If East also kidnapped Bible, Mark 13's telling yet another dark story but right now, I don't see it (pun intended).

There's another huios reference in v.34, which is anarthrous, so Bibles translate it as Son of Man; so let's count it, too.

Mark 13:34, anthrwpos, syll 1154-1156, which corresponds to 1184-1186 AD. Click here for the details that precede. The ruler in question during this v34 time is the guy whose rule is the cause of Byzantium's sacking 20 years later, Andronikos I. Technically, Andy consulted some diviner who said he'd be succeeded by someone named Isaac, so Andy tried to get Isaac Angelos killed. At the time, the latter was no threat at all, but the publicity made him popular with the people who hated Andy, so now they wanted to make Isaac emperor.. and did, killing Andy in Sept 1185 in the middle of anthrwpos. Cute play on his name: andros means noble man, whereas anthrwpos can mean any man. Here, the term is anarthrous, stressing quality. But Andy's quality was violent, so that's how he dies, too.. going away one hopes still to heaven, where he's a spiritual baby for eons. Note the pic in that wiki article: women are cutting him; one has cut off his FOOT (pous means foot).

Ten years later, civil war and pretenders in his family put Isaac back in prison, then bring him out 8 years later, fight some more by enlisting the Latins, and then renege on the promise to pay the Latins for their help; so the Latins sack Constantinople; they installed their own rulers from 1204 to 1261. So yeah, it's like a man going away entrusting his servants to keep alert, especially to guard the door.. and they didn't. Yikes, can the satire be more biting? The sack starts at the middle of the first autou in v.34b. Ouch. Guess they're not HIS servants anymore, huh.

Next big question: how might consistency of pronunciation be an issue? What if the writer intends to slur or ellide, as in movies? Accent identifies important information about the speaker (dialect of a hillbilly versus a foreign accent, etc). Right now only partial consistency is reflected within in the metering: the author's own style. This is especially true of ellision and Hebraisms. Matthew seems to prefer Hebraic dipthongs, so kurios is always two syllables versus the usual three found in Paul, here in Mark, etc. So far, am allowing the meter to demonstrate a pattern and then deciding the pronunciation, based on that. So it's subjective.

8	Τὸ θηρίον📝 ὃ εἶδες📝 ἦν		8	370	End = 451 infamous, cannibalizing Council of Chalcedon, year after Theodosius II dies. So he was but is not, now. Marcian marries Pulcheria, takes Theo's place.
	καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν		4	374	End = 455 Valentinian III dies, somewhat 'aided' by the Byzantine Empire. Effective end of the West. So he is not now, either. So too, Attila, who dies 454, interesting story here.
	καὶ μέλλει ἀναβαίνειν ἐκ τῆς ἀβύσσου		12	386	End = 467 Anthemius in the west, put there by Leo I in the east, to ward off vandals.
	καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγει,	Anthemius dies at λε & Leo, at ὑ, respectively.	9	395	End = 476, official end of West Roman Empire, led away because the Byzantine Empire wouldn't help.
	καὶ θαυμασθήσονται οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς,		15	410	End = 491 AD, tags 490 from Christ's birth as Ephesians 1:3 does. Covers Zeno's reign.
	ὧν οὐ γέγραπται τὸ ὄνομα	Odovacer dies at 'ou'. Clever. Anastasius rules.	8	418	End = 499, all in name of God: east vs. west pope (Acacian) schism, warring, intermarriages.
	ἐπὶ τὸ βιβλίον τῆς ζωῆς ἀπὸ καταβολῆς κόσμου,		17	435	End = 516, Byzantine / Persian wars. Still Anastasius to 518.Then, Justin I.
	βλεπόντων📝 τὸ θηρίον📝 ὅτι ἦν		10	445	End = 526 when Justin I dies, was; dies August 527, so rounded down or plays like Mark 13 does, former kaiser now merely kai (next word). End of 490 is @ 'the [beast]', 520 AD (490 years post-Cross, tags Matthew 24:15b).
	καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν		4	449	End = 530, the new kai, Justinian I, takes throne in 527, no more underneath.
	καὶ [παλιν] παρέσται	Nika revolt, 532 and brutal showdown, Justinian wins.	4	453	End = 534, bad weather, cold, famine in the 530s, fighting in Italy.
9	ὧδε ὁ νοῦς ὁ ἔχων σοφίαν.		10	463	End = 544, from 542ff 'plague of Justinian' deemed as bubonic.
	Αἱ ἑπτὰ κεφαλαὶ ἑπτὰ ὄρη εἰσίν,	Justinian's command required for anything regarding Church, 553	12	475	End = 556 In 551 Beirut earthquake and tsunamis.

	καὶ βασιλεῖς ἑπτά εἰσιν·		8	494	End = 575. In 574, Lovable madman Justin II retires, knowing he's wrong and mad, with wife Sophia 😏 helping him to do so. Justin II was hung up on living up to, Justin I.
10	οἱ πέντε ἔπεσαν,		5	499	End = 580. Perhaps 5 fallen = Babylon, Persia, Greece (from Daniel 2, 7), + Constantine and Justinian, who both wanted United Church and State, the harlot here depicted.
	[και] ὁ εἷς ἔστιν	580-584 bribing Franks to attack Lombards (page 154, of The New Cambridge Medieval History: Volume 1, C.500-c.700)	4	503	End = 584. Maurice uses Church to halt Lombards. Ostrogoths/Franks have West. 490 + 6, same style as Matthew 24, Luke 21, Mark 13; John tallies to pre-Church schedule for Millennium start from when he writes, 6 years prior. Tribulation on pre-Church schedule was to start in 87; so John here stresses that he writes a year late, to show why late.
	[και] ὁ ἄλλος οὔπω ἦλθεν,		7	510	End = 591, start of new 490 after voting period, 1st 490 measured from the Cross.
	καὶ ὅταν ἔλθῃ ὀλίγον αὐτὸν δεῖ μεῖναι.		13	523	End = 604. Temporary Persian victory in Levant, Lombards in Italy, end Senate.

	καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν		4	534	End = 615. Byzantine Empire and Persia exhaust each other in Jerusalem, Persia temporarily wins.
	καὶ αὐτὸς [ὅ] ὄγδοός ἐστιν		8	542	End = 623. Muslim Hegira to Mecca (their 'exodus') is @ estin, get the pun?
	καὶ ἐκ τῶν ἑπτά ἐστιν,		7	549	End = 630. Under Heraclius, Byzantine Empire regains Jerusalem and slaughters Jews.
	καὶ εἰς ἀπώλειαν ὑπάγει.		9	558	End = 639. Islam rises, Muhammad baby dies 632 at kai eis, last speech urged Muslims attack Jerusalem. 637/8, Muslims do so and 'lead' it to destruction. Qur'an is a play on Bible, claims to be its final update, references Bible in every Sura. So is of the seven.
12	Καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα		10	568	End = 649, Christians on both sides argue wrongly regarding Christ, nearly kill Empire.

	καὶ [την] ἐξουσίαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ📝 διδόασιν.	Muslims invade Spain, 711.	14	639	End = 720. Arab second seige of Constantinople 717 @ θηρίῳ makes Byzantine Empire want to get right with God; so iconoclasm ramps up under the victor, Leo III.
14	οὗτοι μετὰ τοῦ ἀρνίου πολεμήσουσιν		13	652	End = 733. Arabs πολεμήσουσιν: Battle Tours / Poiters 732/3, Leo III drives out Muslims by 740. Back to the Bible (AKA iconoclasm).

	καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ κλητοὶ καὶ ἐκλεκτοὶ καὶ πιστοί.		14	695	End = 776. WITTY: @ κλητοὶ, Charles was indeed 'elected' King of the Franks.
15	Καὶ λέγει μοι·		4	702	End = 780. Alcuin says to Charles he cannot kill those he conquers for not converting to Christianity.
	[ταυτα] τὰ ὕδατα ἃ εἶδες📝 οὗ ἡ πόρνη📝 κάθηται,		14	713	End = 794 Charlemagne's education reform, forcing Bible learning.
	[και] λαοὶ καὶ ὄχλοι εἰσὶν καὶ ἔθνη καὶ γλῶσσαι.		13	726	End = 807 Charlemagne crowned Holy Roman Emperor @ εἰσὶν on Christmas 800, yikes!
16	καὶ τὰ δέκα κέρατα ἃ εἶδες📝 καὶ τὸ θηρίον		15	741	End = 822. Charlemagne dies end κέρατα. His heir's relatives fight over their 7-10 horns (including partisan clergy, excluding Gisela).
	οὗτοι μισήσουσιν τὴν πόρνην📝		9	750	End = 831. Young Theophilus vs. Arabs; Louis Pious contra his own kids.
	καὶ ἠρημωμένην ποιήσουσιν αὐτὴν		12	762	End = 843. Louis dies brokenhearted at ποιήσουσιν. Theophilos dies at αὐ.
	καὶ γυμνὴν καὶ τὰς σάρκας αὐτῆς φάγονται		12	774	End = 855. φάγονται = Lothair I abdicates / dies fighting with family; = Theophilos' son Michael III hires murderers to free himself from regents.
	καὶ αὐτὴν κατακαύσουσιν ἐν πυρί.		12	786	End = 867. = Michael III dies, hacked to death via best friend. Lothair's kid Louis II inherits from dying brothers, gets a little peace after defeating Saracens.
17	ὁ γὰρ θεὸς ἔδωκεν εἰς τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν		14	800	End = 881. Louis dies @ εἰς; Basil I grieves to appoint Leo VI successor while alive.
	ποιῆσαι τὴν γνώμην αὐτοῦ		8	808	End = 889. Last Carolingian Holy Roman Emperor Charles III the Fat deposed / dies @ μην au, & Basil @ γνώ
	καὶ ποιῆσαι μίαν γνώμην		8	816	End = 897, one mind, to eat each other, in west; Leo VI sought one son & one law
	καὶ δοῦναι τὴν βασιλείαν αὐτῶν τῷ θηρίῳ		14	830	End = 911 Lambert I dies @ kai; end of West Carolingian 'beast' male line.
	ἄχρι τελεσθήσονται οἱ λόγοι τοῦ θεοῦ.		13	843	End = 924. Leo VI dies @ ἄχρι, then Constantine VII under regency. = End of Holy Roman Emperors with Berengar I (@ τελεσ through θεοῦ) until 962 under Otto I. Magyar invasions, many.
18	καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἣν εἶδες ἔστιν ἡ πόλις ἡ μεγάλη		15	858	End = 939. Constantine VII under thumb of Romanos Leka. So that's the Great City.
	ἡ ἔχουσα βασιλείαν		8	866	End = 947. Constantine VII has son Romanos II at he, then free! @ βασιλ
	τῶν βασιλέων [ἐπὶ] τῆς γῆς.		9	875	End = 956. Romans II marries Theophanu; her marriage(s) + life personify Revelation 17 theme. Also, the very year she marries is born another Theophanu, niece of the elder Theophanu's lover; by his grant, the younger will marry Otto II, thus also become Empress of the West. Final punchline: their lines end in 1024 (Henry II) -1025 (Basil II); both Empires' rulers chose to remain childless.

Anaphora Keyword Notes

Anaphora is a prominent feature in Matthew 24, Ephesians 1, Luke 21, Mark 13. Here in Revelation 17, the anaphora are: see, harlot, and beast. Distances between them are divisible by seven, as follows.

'See' / 'Witness' References

Mark 13 and to a lesser extent Luke 21 prior, Ephesians 1 prior (via thelematos) and Matthew 24 as the ultimate parent prophecy, sarcastically use 'see', to show how political power dies; word placement for seeing is matched with a future emperor's death, stressing both the one dying, and his successor. Revelation 17, apes this.

Revelation 17:3 εἶδον syllables 107-8 = 195 ~ 196 AD.
First instance, no native sevening, but is divisible by seven (108-38) to prior verse 1 τῆς πόρνης, which is the first anaphoric word. This, is the second. Time here, refers to when Septimius Severus defeated his rivals for the purple, promulgated the myth he was the son of Marcus Aurelius, to create uniting faith (here as philosopher-king) and state. His wife and her sisters would later capitalize on this to regain power after Macrinus killed Caracalla. So 'wife' is trenchant, evokes Ephesians 1:9 (q.v.)

Revelation 17:6 εἶδον syllables 254-5 = 342 ~ 343 AD.
Sevens at 255-108. Here, focus is on Constans who survives his brother's attack, only to die himself by the end of the clause. The remaining brother, Constantius II, will end up inheriting the whole empire then. The brothers had first killed their siblings/cousins/uncles as potential rivals, then warred with each other over the definition of 'God' and 'Christ'. During these two years, Constans had to battle in the West to solidify his gains (due to his brother's death in 340 AD). These years also span start of the religious dispute which would poison his relations with CII.

Revelation 17:6b εἶδον syllables 290-1 = 378 ~ 379 AD.
Sevens at 290-255. Precursor to official split: in 375 AD owing to the death of Valentinian I, the baby Valentinian II is crowned in the East by the army, though his half-brother Gratian is still Emperor in the West. In 378 ~ 379 AD however, Gratian instead appointed Theodosius I as the Emperor for the East.

Revelation 17:8a εἶδες syllables 361-2 = 449 ~ 450 AD.
Sevens at 361-291. Valentinian III in the West, Theodosius II in the East. Latter dies in 450. Karma, because VIII titled Attila, encouraged the Huns to invade the East; so in 449, VIII's sister invited Attila to invade the West, take her so she could avoid marrying some guy VIII imposed on her; so in that same year, he invaded Gaul (dates vary). You can't make this stuff up.

Revelation 17:8b βλεπόντων syllables 429-31 = 517 ~ 519 AD.
Sevens at 431-361. Anastasius, a Miaphysite aka (somewhat inaccurately) Monophysite, defender of Zeno's Henotikon, faced opposition to it among his rival Chalcedonians, yet brought the empire back to some good governance and economy, died in 518. Dissertation on him: The Reign of Anastasius I, 491-518. Next, Justin I ascended, finally beat his religious enemies, then reverted strongly back to Chalcedonianism. Nephew Justinian would end up on the throne 10 years later, but was active in his uncle's administration from its start.

Revelation 17:12 εἶδες syllables 563-4 = 651 ~ 652 AD.
Sevens at 564-431. Constans II finally orders the ongoing Chalcedonian-Monophysite debates to stop, in attempt to allow freedom of faith, in 648 and repeatedly after that. He seems to have finally won during these two years, getting the pope arrested. So the 'death' here is more like a breach, designed to provide free faith.

Revelation 17:15 εἶδες syllables 698-9 = 786 ~ 787 AD.
Sevens at 698-565. Last two years of the impending marital alliance between Byzantine widow Empress Irene's son Constantine VI and Charlemagne's Rotrude, broken by Irene. That 'death', begins rift that results in Pope replacing Irene with Charlemagne as the true Holy Roman Emperor in 800 (Constantine having died in 797). Then Charlemagne proposes to marry Irene, but she finally says no (search on Aetius, here: The Chronicle Of Theophanes, Trans. By Harry Turtledove (1982)); then, Byzantines rise against her; Nikephorus I deposes her; she dies in a monastery.

Revelation 17:16 εἶδες syllables 727-8 = 815 ~ 816 AD.
Sevens at 728-700. Louis the Pious, taking over at his dad's death in 814, is not crowned Holy Roman Emperor until 816 AD. His is a sad life, his children always rebel against him while he tries to unite Church and State.

Revelation 17:18 εἶδες syllables 842-3 = 930 ~ 931 AD.
Sevens at 841-729. Otto I, ascends the throne in 929/930 when his dad died. At this point there is no Holy Roman Emperor, but there will be in 962, and he'll be crowned Holy Roman Emperor then. Meanwhile, he has a son Otto II, who he'll marry off to Theophanu, the niece of Byzantine Emperor Tzimikes, who himself allegedly had the former Byzantine Empress Theophanu as a lover, who married Romanos II back in 956 where Revelation 17 ends. That was also the year, the niece was born. Otto II, was born the year prior. All the other anaphora keywords stress this witty convergence. Here, it's traced back to the dad at his own accession.

'Whore' / 'Gune' References are to False Teaching that Politicizes

Whose false teachers end up calling themselves 'pure' (katharos, from which comes 'catholic')

Paul, in Ephesians 1:3-14, keying off both Matthew 24 and Luke 21, twines the prophetic rise and fall of Rome with the rise of Church apostasy in his meter, which is in 'our' AD format: for they had the same 3-year problem we do; a guy named Varro accounted ab urbe condita as net 3 years too high when Christ was born (not due to His Birth, just did it that year), vs. Livy who accounted the years rightly; Claudius made Varro's tally, law. As a result, Bible writers all had to make adjustments just as we do. Their meter shows it. So use the AD conversions here to 'mate' to Paul's tracking, which is mapped in the Ephesians 1 Chronology Chart. It functions also as a syllabus: there are many independent websites linked there, with contemporary or modern Roman historian sources.

Revelation 17:1 τῆς πόρνης at syllables 38-40, runs 126 ~ 128 AD, first instance. Rise of the false doctrine of apostolic succession, first tried that we know of, by Clement of Rome. Further reading on this topic at: Pope Myth, Part IVa Inset, Lord vs. Satan: SupCtHeaven. Rise of virulent anti-semitism at the same time, more samples: ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus: Chapter IV.—The other observances of the Jews, and ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus: Chapter I.—Introduction.

Revelation 17:3 γυναῖκα at syllables 109-11, runs 197 ~ 199 AD, sevens at 111-41. Tags Matthew 24:4b. Popular writings by the disgusting Irenaeus preceded this verse 8's vile 'gal', Tertullian, who converts in 197 and mothers myths and Daniel 9 miscalculation. Meanwhile, Mater Castrorum and other emotional titles are being created by the Severans: the women end up controlling politics through 235 via incest and religious claims started during 197-9, when our boy finally defeated his last rival for the purple. Which is hilarious, since Aurelius' wife Faustina was rumored to have a 'Tertullus' (iam tibi dixi ter tullus) as a lover, and now Julia Domna was 'inheriting' Faustina the Younger's title. Maybe tags Ephesians 1:8b covering same years, as that's what they were saying about Severus at the time (and even now).

Revelation 17:4 ἡ γυνὴ at syllables 148-50, runs 236 ~ 238 AD, sevens at 112-147, in between. Tags Ephesians 1:9d. Roman Christians fought with each other over whether Christ was coming back, inter alia, so finally were expelled from Rome and Alexander Severus murdered, in 235. Heyday of Bible-illiterate Origen whose attempts to convert Severans, helped them get killed. This guy reads emasculation metaphor literally, but literal Revelation 7 tribes of Israel, allegorically. Not to be outdone, another instigator arguing in Rome and hence purged, is Hippolytus, who dies then. He has heavy competition from anti-Semite Cyprian. The number of jerks writing long meaningless tomes during this time is uncountable. During this time, Peter is first put on a pope list, by comrade of Demetrius of Alexandria (who hated Origen), Julius Africanus.

Revelation 17:5 τῶν πορνῶν at syllables 242-44, runs 330-2 AD, sevens at 151-242. Tags Matthew 24:9b, Ephesians 1:12 (heart of Paul's anaphora), plus Luke 21:12c, which say 'they will kill you' and 'take you to jail', respectively. Focus on the dedication of 'new Rome' (Constantine's name for it), which solidified the 'justification' for persecuting anyone not adhering to whatever flavor of Christianity the 'new Rome' favored that moment. So yeah, Constantine's rule produced massive laws against anyone not of his prelate preference, damned as heretics or worse. Time also covers liar-in-chief Eusebius. Name means 'spiritual life', which he had NONE. NO, zero, nada, zip compunction about lying. Can't add or subtract numbers or Scripture if his life depended on it. Even until now, his obvious math errors keep repeating, wasting millions of dollars and countless spiritual profit; so that to this day, Daniel 9 is still misaccounted, even by Dispensationalists. For Eusebius was the chief chronicler of vile Constantine, who himself was pretty adept at lying. Which lying, you can read for yourself at that link. His fellow liar Lactantius died just prior to this particular whorific period.

Revelation 17:6 τὴν γυναῖκα at syllables 256-9, runs 344 ~ 347 AD, sevens at 256-242. Anaphoric center left. Tags Mark 13:9, Ephesians 1:12b, and Luke 21:12; vileness of religion on and by rulers post-Constantine, starting with his murdering sons, the tie to Ephesians 1:12. This first 100 years or so sets the whorifying apostate 'unity' pattern. Most poignant is how Paul closes Ephesians 1:12 marking Constantine's death as half-baked proelpikotas (first fruits, aka Pentecost, which was the day we are told Constantine died in 337). Ephesians 1:12b ends at 343 AD. John here adds the horror of persecution, connecting it to completion of firstfruits in those martyred (who are not the ones listed by the lying Church Fathers; or if martyred, what is said about them is a lie by the Church Fathers, who were completely apostate)

Revelation 17:7 τῆς γυναικὸς at syllables 323-6, runs 411 ~ 414 AD, sevens at 326-256. Anaphoric center right. Tags Luke 21:15b. Evil Pulcheria's initial push to make a cult of herself. Note that the number of claimants against Honorius also are 10.

Revelation 17:9 ἡ γυνὴ at syllables 471-3, runs 559 ~ 561 AD, sevens at 473-326. Tags Mark 13:14. Last Years of anti-semitic Justinian I, who like Trajan, overextended the Empire, rendering its treasury, empty; so it will soon lose territory. Worse, Justinian I codified his own religion into Law, trying to unite with Rome; dissenters were persecuted. So now Harlot sits astride the Beast as the Empire's legal code. So in these particular last years: earthquakes, plagues, famine, roof of Haggia Sophia (verse 6a here plays on no wisdom in Byzantium by its falling), invasions... Just as Leviticus 26 promises... Which no one reads. Granted, Procopius wrote against Justinian I for other reasons, but here we have God's.

Revelation 17:15 ἡ πόρνη at syllables 701-3, runs 789 ~ 791 AD, sevens at 703-472, in between. Rise of the Carolingians, especially with Pepin getting the Pope's help to replace the Merovingians, not a good thing. In particular, at this time Charlemagne has just helped the Pope be free of Lombard dominance, taking it over himself. For which, he will shortly be crowned by the Pope, in part due to the iconoclasm movement being repulsed by evil Irene in the East, but she was the ruler and the Pope wanted to make her pine for his support. Charles had also proposed marriage after he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor, so Irene's advisor Aetius talked her out of it, per chronicler Theophanes. Charles also began his education reform, which involved how to teach Bible, i.e., the Admonitio Generalis in 789 (can't find a good translation online). This is a 'whore', cuz the king is regulating Bible teaching and interp. Tags Matthew 24:25. So of course, Charles did a lot of bad lawgiving, just like Diocletian.

Revelation 17:16 τὴν πόρνην at syllables 741-3, runs 829 ~ 831 AD, sevens at 743-701. Tags Mark 13:20-23's first nested anaphora, centering on Theophilus, who takes power this year, son of a murdering usurper named Michael II, who murdered his erstwhile friend, the prior Emperor who had also murdered to get the purple, Leo V. Theophilus was a back-to-the-Bible guy, so warred with the harlot iconophiles. He had good victories against the Arabs which can be considered miraculous, and historians consider the 'reconstruction period' ends with Theo. These first three years cover him seeking punishment against Leo V's murderers (since his own dad was dead), and initial mixed success defeating the invading Arabs. With the people he was regarded as so just, they quipped he'd be a judge in the afterlife.

God doesn't quite agree. Can't outlaw faith, even if it's wrong. But this shows how the horns hate the harlot. Same went on under Charlemagne, who at this point has been dead 15 years, for he sought to control and dictate to the clergy how they should behave, what they should teach, etc. That is whoredom.

Revelation 17:18 ἡ γυνὴ at syllables 838-40, runs 926 ~ 928 AD, sevens at 840-742, in between. This also exactly intersects with Mark's huios nest in Mark 13:26, which is discussed in Mark 13 future-maps Byzantine History, covering Constantine VII just when the boy is now age 21, which then as now was regarded as 'adult' (never mind the toga virilis), but his regents weren't relinquishing power to him. The sevening of 98 shockingly accords with Mark 13:26's text, which is how all eyes will see The Son of Man coming in the clouds at the Second Advent. Maybe it's satire on the fact that huios means adult adopted son (both adult and adopted are inherent in the term), but like Christ, Constantine VII wasn't regarded at his own advent. By contrast, if we add in the 908-911 beast clause: same period in Matthew 24:29b covers his birth to age 20 (born 905, end of Matthew 24:9a) runs: καὶ ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς, καὶ οἱ ἀστέρες πεσοῦνται ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ. Zechariah 14, idea of total darkness just before Second Advent, whereas Mark's language is Second Advent (see Hebrews 12).

I'm not sure why these years are stressed with the religious harlotry theme; they must be important, for John to deliberately overlap the exact same years with Mark 13:26's exact occurrence of huios; which proves, John was counting syllables, too. Constantine's mother was his regent until 920 when Romanos I took over that job, promptly married his 9-year-old daughter to the then 14 years old Constantine VII... And remained head regent far too long; eventually deposed by his own kids.

Of course, the gune at the end of verse 18 ends up being Constantine's own daughter-in-law Theophanu, ersatz daughter of an innkeeper, loved wife of Romanos II, marrying him at the end of the verse... So there's that. She does end up prostituting herself when Romanos dies in 963, by marrying Nikephoros II Phokas, to protect her young children by Romanos. One of these, Anna, will become the object of distastrous marital negotiation; ironically, another Theophano, niece of widowed former Empress Theophano's alleged lover and next Emperor John Tzimiskes, will end up marrying Otto I's kid. Do you think God has a sense of humor, to end Revelation 17 on this prophetic, punning note?

'Beast' References

Focus on the rulers of the polities: beast = polity or ruler of it (contrasts with seraphim 'beasts' in Revelation 4)

Revelation 17:3 θηρίον syllables 117-9, runs 205 ~ 207 AD, first instance. Downfall and Severan recovery after Plautianus. Not sure what it addresses, other than Severan institutionalized deceit: Septimius claimed himself a son of Marcus Aurelius, though everyone knew he was from Lepcis; Matthew 24:4b&5a content tie, but years don't match enough. By contrast, this Revelation 17:3 tags Ephesians 1:8b and Mark 13:5.

Revelation 17:7 τοῦ θηρίου syllables 328-11 runs 416 ~ 419 AD, sevens at 327-117. Clearly tags Paul's Ephesians 1:9 using musterion to satirize Severan mothers who claimed incest with Caracalla to get back in power. Now, 200 years later, two other women scheme using Church specifically: Byzantium anti-Semite Pulcheria, starts up a cult of herself at this point (search for "414" regarding "The Regency of Pulcheria": which is a followup to the gunaikos tag earlier in verse 7). In the West, the other woman who'll be centered in verse 8a, Gallia Placida; her brother Emperor Honorius married her off to a general. Then he dies childless, so her son takes the purple. Again, corresponding years in Matthew 24:12 text are biting, but not aligned.

Revelation 17:8a Τὸ θηρίον syllables 356-9 runs 444 ~ 447 AD, sevens at 356-328. You can say Matthew 24:14's first six syllables tie, in withering sarcasm; yeah, the beast John saw was not, in his day; it would take the rise of Christianity, to create such a monstrosity. Story of the dominating women 'preaching', one over Valentinian III in the West, and in the East... Still ugly Pulcheria who ramps up a cult of herself during these years, to compete with Theo II's wife (who she picked out 😂). Historians consider Valentinian III's rule to be the turning point breaking down the West irrevocably (loss of Africa, and here in 444, Spain), which created the inability to raise sufficient taxes to defend whatever territory was gained. As for the East, this business of women taking over young men becomes a Byzantine refrain, and frankly all their history is tainted by it, e.g., later rise of iconoclasm to get back to the Bible; but women ruling over young emperors, reversed it.

Revelation 17:8b τὸ θηρίον syllables 432-5 runs 520 ~ 523 AD, 490 years after Cross (which Matthew 24 marks as 490); sevens at 434-357. Long before Justin I died, his heir Justinian I got law changed to marry Theodora, in 523. He's first consul in 521 (suspected of murdering consul in 520); already acts as if Emperor.

Revelation 17:11 τὸ θηρίον syllables 518-21 runs 606 ~ 609 AD, sevens at 518-434. Anaphoric center. Turning point, because Justinian I had overextended the Empire much as Trajan had the West. So too, after Justinian died, there ensued a series of financial and invasion problems usurpers used, to grab imperial power. One of these was Phocas, which this verse 11 tags. The family will rise again and again in Byzantine history from this point on. Ten years later, the series of purple musical chairs without solution to her overstretching financial problems, will reach its nadir when Byzantine loses Egypt, under Heraclius. Byzantine was by then, under attack from all sides, lots of internal religious strife with various prelates arguing whether Christ was one nature or two, greatly exacerbated the period (to 641 when Heraclius dies). It will continue to characterize Byzantine Empire for its lifetime.

Revelation 17:12 τοῦ θηρίου syllables 601-4 runs 689-92 AD, sevens at 602-518, seems wrong? Covers Justinian II from age 21 (he became Emperor at 17), early good years of his first reign. However, he persecuted the Manicheans and apparently went against cherished traditions, though still Orthodox to the point of convening councils to see if there could be rapproachment with Rome; when the Pope rejected those councils, Justinian II wanted to arrest the Pope in Ravenna. After Justinian II was deposed in 695, he got help from the Bulgars, regained the throne in 705, then:

1. tried to unite with a new pope he appointed, and ~
2. warred against those who helped him regain power.

In between both reigns: another Byzantine Constantinople plague outbreak (first one happened under his namesake, Justinian I, around 542), symbolizing political plague of musical emperors, which historians now call the Twenty Years' Anarchy; which his first deposition, triggered. Clever text, verse 12, as there were indeed 10 horns but no power, all fighting with the beast. 7 of the 10 are listed in previous link: the other three are Justinian II first time and his son second time, plus Leo III, who ended the anarchy.

Revelation 17:13 τῷ θηρίῳ syllables 626-9 runs 714 ~ 717 AD, sevens at 629-601. Start of the iconoclastic movement in the wake of Siege of Constantinople 717 which Leo III won... But barely. Mark singles him out, using him to start a kurios anaphora nest, at Mark 13:20. These years close the Twenty Years' Anarchy (see verse 12's end note), include reluctant usurper Theodosius III, with Leo defeating him in in 717 without harm to Theodosius III. Immediately, Leo III was faced with the second Arab siege; his bare win resulted in him gaining popularity as the 'restorer of the Empire', enough to launch the iconoclasm movement in earnest. The Pope wasn't happy with it at all. But the Ostrogoths were; so too, the new mayors of the palace, over the last Merovingians. For they all had 'one mind' regarding: problem of the Arab invasion; the papacy, was a burden.

Revelation 17:16 τὸ θηρίον syllables 731-4 runs 819 ~ 822 AD, sevens at 731-626. Seems to tag Matthew 24:26c. Aftermath of Charlemagne's death. In the West, fighting by his grandsons over who gets what. Each faction tried to get papal support. The lone son surviving was Louis the Pious who would end up spending the rest of his life fighting with his own sons. The impetus for those fights began in 819, just after Louis' beloved wife died, and he was in deep mourning for her. He himself had also had a close brush with death, so formulated a succession plan which granted more to the son of his wife than the other kids; so Bernard rebelled, Louis had him blinded which caused B's death, and by 822 Louis was so conscience-stricken, he made public atonement before the Pope; his subjects saw this as weakness. By 820 also, he remarried and had yet another son, revised his succession plans accordingly, to the consternation of his other sons. So by 823, they conspired to depose him, with some clerics granting support for Louis' downfall.

In the East, again Revelation 17 tags Mark, this time at his 13:22, semeion anaphora. Irene got ousted in 802, then musical-chair usurping emperors killing each other. Here, the one killed, himself got into power by killing, Leo V; he's murdered in 820 on Christmas day inside a church by his former friend, who then takes over as Michael II.

Revelation 17:17 τῷ θηρίῳ syllables 820-3 runs 908 ~ 911 AD, sevens at 823-732, in between. See also the gune note for verse 18. Charlemagne's male line in West or East Francia dies out in 911. The next year, a baby boy is born later known as Otto I, the first be legally Holy Roman Emperor since Charles the Fat was deposed in 888. In the East, 908 saw baby Constantine VII crowned; yet in 912 when Otto was born, Constantine VII's dad Leo VI died. Two births. Two deaths. The deaths cause the born, to inherit. Had the Carolingians not died in 911, fat chance Otto would have been crowned; there'd have been no pope offer to crown his dad, when Otto was 3. Constantine was 3 when his Emperor dad died. Good Greek drama: John counts syllables for a dramatic future pairing (or God had him do it that way and John didn't know why).

Here's the punchline: Otto I's son will marry the niece of the Byzantine Emperor whose accession depended on him exiling (Constantine VII's) the Empress mother, on the grounds she was his lover (true or not, no one knows). The niece will have the same name as the mother, becomes Holy Roman Empress; her son will be Otto III, also a Holy Roman Emperor.
