that fits what has been prophesied. A thousand year Christian empire: the Byzantine Empire. Started by one of seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. It was ended by the tenth Islamic dynasty. The year 666 of the Julian calendar would mark the beginning of Islam. This is just the beginning.

A Big Number
to be connected with a thousand. Stick with years and see if they fit. What happened in the year 666? Islam with ten dynasties was preparing to attack Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years.

A Significant Player
who made the world safe for Christians. He started a Christian empire where they reigned with Christ a thousand years. He started the fifth of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. He was the rider of the white horse and his bow was a covenant with God.
A Big Number
and a good place to start. There is only one Christian empire where they reigned with Christ a thousand years. – The Byzantine Empire – How do you interpret a thousand years? Nearly all the bibles agree here. So why not take it literally? A good place to start. See if it fits.

A Distraction
from a literal interpretation. What does a thousand years mean? A thousand years. This should be our first guess. Numbers may be the only literal part of prophecy. Something the translators couldn’t get wrong. Everything else in our 59 different English versions of the bible might be suspect.
A Number
a big number like a thousand. All bible versions agree on a thousand years. A thousand year empire where they reigned with Christ is easy to find. The Byzantine Empire. The problem for most is that it doesn’t say “reign of Christ” which gets over six million Google hits. With the bible you get zero hits. How do you explain this?

It ignores two thousand years of history simply because it doesn’t fit with preconceived interpretations. History is the only advantage we have over the early fathers of the Church so why not use it? How can we use prophecy to search history without first interpreting it? Numbers. Numbers and possibly colors don’t require interpretation. Start with numbers. Big numbers like a thousand.
