A History of the Church –
A dog that didn’t bark. Eusebius never associates the churches with the Apocalypse. He does mention six of the seven churches but does not connect them with the Apocalypse. Since Victorinus has the same problem, it suggests that there may have been a version of the Apocalypse that didn’t have the seven churches.

A Bear –
A leopard. A connection with the beasts of Daniel. John knows Daniel knows beasts. Also in common are the ten horns. John’s beast was like a leopard, a bear, and a lion. Daniel is the key to understanding the beasts of the Apocalypse. What do the beasts of Daniel have in common? The Temple. Don’t mess with the Temple. This is new.

A Commentary on the Apocalypse –
A dog that didn’t bark. Victorinus didn’t mention the churches. He does mention the seven churches that Paul wrote to. So why not mention the seven churches that John wrote to? It is possible that his version of the Apocalypse didn’t have the seven churches. We need to look at Eusebius to see if he has the same problem.

A Revelation –
A book of what is to come. Only history can verify what has been prophesied. History based on numbers. Not on interpretation. You can only trust numbers. Numbers do not have to be interpreted. Start with the big numbers like a thousand and it might lead you to the Byzantine Empire that fits with all the other numbers. And colors.

A Need To Know How Long It Took To Get Here –
A time of travel would lead to where they are from, how they got here, and why we didn’t know anything about them. If the answers do not make sense, we would have to conclude it is a hoax.

A History –
A witness to what no longer exists. What was Victorinus looking at when he wrote his Commentary on the Apocalypse? What was Eusebius looking at when he wrote his Church History? We can only speculate based on what they wrote, what they didn’t write, and what is reasonable. Can we make sense of it? It makes more sense than most interpretations.

A Premillennialist –
A thousand year “Reign of Christ”. They “reigned with Christ” is what is in the bible. That is a big difference. Look for a thousand years where they reigned with Christ. They did the reigning in a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. Like the Byzantine Empire. It’s the only one. Check it out. It fits with the other numbers. And colors.
