John,

In Revelation 6 there are 1/4 killed on the earth and then in Revelation 9 there are 1/3 killed. This is the first time that the math works out perfectly in Revelation.

3 1/2 is key. Jesus walked on water 3 1/2 miles across a 7 mile wide lake per facts in Mark (i.e. middle) and John (i.e. 3 or 4 miles).

7 Billion times 1/4 is 1.75 Billion. This leaves 5.25 Billion. And then 5.25 times 1/3 is also 1.75 Billion. When you add 1.75 and 1.75 the result is 3 1/2!

Time, times, and half a time.

I'm just saying . . .
