Let be a -complete filter on . Use an propositional language with a sentence for every . Form a theory containing for , the Boolean identitiesand, for every ,
Every subtheory of size below mentions fewer than required members of . Their intersection is nonempty by -completeness; choosing a point in it and interpreting as membership of that point satisfies the subtheory. The theory is therefore -satisfiable. Strong compactness supplies a model. Thenis an ultrafilter, contains , and is -complete by the infinitary intersection axioms.
