A Prophecy Fulfilled
a numerical fit with history. The Byzantine Empire is a good start but does it fit with the other numbers 666, ten horns, seven heads etc.? We shall see but first we should check Daniel for the word number. In Daniel 9:2 number refers to years. Does the number 666? Historians do a fine job of staying away from that year but we do know that about that time Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople the capital of a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years.

A Connection
a common characteristic connecting history to prophecy independent of anyone’s interpretation. This is where you start. There are about 60 different English translations of the bible but they agree on “a thousand years” where they reigned with Christ. There is only one Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. The Byzantine Empire.

A Revelation
a prophecy. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of a prophecy. Only numbers can confirm your interpretation of prophecy. The Word of God has been corrupted by translators and scripture experts. Who or what can you trust? Numbers. Somehow all translations agree on numbers and colors to some extent.

A Prophecy
a servant of God. He comes quickly. The Lamb of God known only to John the Baptist. Who, what, when, and why are now clear. The first coming. Prepare the way for the second coming. The way is the same. Repent for the time is at hand. Paul said there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,

A Servant Named John
a pure river of water of life. The revelation is not so clear. Where is clear. Who, when, what and why are not clear at all. John? Three times he identifies himself as John. The same John? Consider three different Johns. John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and John Chrysostom have all been considered.

A Writer Named John
a confirmation that the Apostle wrote the Apocalypse was needed for it to be in the bible today. Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. Many didn’t believe it was written by the Apostle and therefore didn’t belong in the bible. Thanks to Jerome we have it in the bible today.

A Sacred Bible
a list of books that might not contain the Apocalypse at the end of the fourth century. John Chrysostom, who never quoted the Apocalypse, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century and Jerome was finishing his Vulgate. Was Chrysostom able to confirm that the Apocalypse was written by the Apostle?

A Revelation of Jesus Christ
a blessing for reading and hearing this prophecy. It must shortly come to pass. The first coming. Not the second. John the Baptist was preparing the way. John the Apostle knew this when he wrote to the seven churches. John Chrysostom, your brother, knew that when he was in Ephesus and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.

A Servant of God
a “lamb” and the “bare record” ties John the Baptist to the Apocalypse. Vischer holds the Apocalypse to have been originally a purely Jewish composition. It would not have included the seven churches that Eusebius and Victorinus failed to recognize. A reasonable explanation why they didn’t.

A Lamb of God
a voice crying is the wilderness. The word “lamb” is mentioned 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Baptist knew the “Lamb of God”. He was preparing the way for “the time is at hand”. John the Baptist did not know Jesus was the Lamb of God. John the Apostle knew that and was also aware of his following.
