A Number of Years
A reign with Christ. There is only one Christian empire where they reigned with Christ a thousand years. You won’t find “reign of Christ” in the bible. It can be found close to 8 million times on the internet. “Reigning with Christ” has been turned into “reign of Christ” which is a serious misinterpretation of the bible.
A Great City
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. At the start there were the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. At the end there was the tenth dynasty of Islam. All the pieces fit.

A Number
A connection with prophecy. Different interpretations have led to over 60 different English bible translations. They all seem to agree on numbers. They all agree on a thousand years, 666, ten horns, seven heads, and five are fallen. Numbers can be used to connect history with prophecy which is the only way to verify the fulfillment of prophecy.

A Dome of the Rock
A desolation. What is in the holy place now? The Dome of the Rock is preventing the third temple and that makes Islam a beast different from all the others. The “ten horns” are the ten dynasties of Islam. Counted by Islamic sources. The Ottoman Empire, the tenth dynasty, ended the thousand year Christian empire, The Byzantine Empire, in 1453.

A Prophecy
A number to connect them. Can’t trust anyone’s interpretation. Only numbers and history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy. There are 60 different English translations of the bible but they all agree on numbers like a thousand years. They also agree on “ten horns” and “seven heads”. Numbers and history won’t mislead you like interpretation.
A Fit with Numbers
a thousand year empire starting with the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire and ending with the tenth dynasty of Islam. The first beast, Rome, whose deadly wound was healed was replaced by the second beast Islam. The Byzantine Empire fits with all the numbers you can trust. You can’t trust interpretation.

A Beginning
A year or date. I started with the most famous number 666. In Daniel 9:2 number refers to years. From Wikipedia AD 666 we find the Byzantine Empire a Christian empire that would last a thousand years. What we don’t find is they were about to be attacked by a new religion, Islam. A closer look is warranted.
A Reign with Christ
a thousand year Christian empire where they gathered in His Name and they reigned with Christ. The Byzantine Empire. Totally ignored by the Premillennialists who are looking for the “reign of Christ” which you cannot find in the bible. Why not start with history and see where it takes you? See if it fits.

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.
