A capital of an empire that lasted a thousand years. Constantinople is Babylon the Great. The Byzantine Empire lasted a thousand years and its capital was Constantinople.

A Prophecy Fulfilled –
A reliable connection with numbers and colors. Without them, your interpretation cannot be trusted. Translators cannot be trusted. What can be trusted? A literal sense of the word if it has been translated as such. The meaning of a word does not translate well which makes interpretation nearly impossible. It must be revealed. The wise will understand.

A Good Question –
A mountain is preferred. Dry air is best. Why do people live in the desert? It feels good. My first trip to Palm Springs proved that. My sinuses love it.

A Storm and Thunder –
A Russian astronomer claimed John Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse in 395 based on astronomy. This John was in Ephesus at the beginning of 401. He could have said, “there are seven kings: five are fallen.” At the time, five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had fallen. Really.

A Color –
A connection with history and prophecy. The translators didn’t know the meaning of numbers and colors so they were forced to use the literal sense of these words. With many of the other words they were able to translate the meaning and that is why we have so many different versions of the bible. We can’t understand any of it until it is revealed to us and when it is we will know that the end is near. And that’s the truth.

A List Of Three –
A family no more. Separate meals is the norm. It is pizza, my chili, and take out when we do eat together.

A Brother on Patmos –
A third John who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate that included the Apocalypse. At the time it was not clear if it would be. Jerome had to be convinced that it was written by the Apostle. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops at the beginning of the fifth century.

A Meaning –
A tool for communicating. The translators couldn’t agree on the meaning of certain words. That is why there are 60 different English versions of the Bible. What do they agree on? Numbers and colors. This may be the only reliable connection of history and prophecy. Our interpretation of what has been prophesied must take this into account. Trust numbers and colors.

A Military Figure –
A thousand year reign. Constantine made the world safe for Christianity. For a thousand years. Prayer isn’t sufficient. It takes a military force to protect the Church.
