A Reasonable Explanation
A history of the Apocalypse. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. It would become the official bible of the Church. It would confirm once and for all that the Apocalypse belonged in the bible. Before that the jury was out. Chrysostom was just one of those who didn’t accept the Apocalypse. What could be the reason?

A “Reign Of Christ”
A phrase not found in the bible. “Reigned with Christ” can be found. A thousand years can be found in history. Your interpretation, “reign of Christ”, can be found on the internet but not in your bible. This is why you can’t trust your interpretation. Trust the numbers.
A Reading Of This Prophecy
A blessing if you have an ear for this prophecy. The time was at hand. That was then. Now we have history. That is where prophecy is fulfilled. Look for it using numbers which you can trust. Not your interpretation. Not even your version of the bible. Somehow all translations get the numbers right.
A Third John
A place called Patmos. This is all we know. Everything else is speculation or interpretation. Is yours better than the others? Is your bible better than the others? Do they have anything in common? Numbers. Somehow they get the numbers right. We also have logic and reason to make sense of them.
A Prophecy Again
A second John to the seven churches. The apostle would eat the book and prophesy again. It is now his book. It gets in the bible because it is now his book. Not everyone believed that. Only the ones who were in charge of what went into the bible. Enter Jerome and the Vulgate.
A “Reign Of Christ”
A problem with the bible. The “Reign of Christ” cannot be found in the bible. It will get over six millions hits if you google it. Just another example of how the bible is misinterpreted. Who can you trust? What can you trust? Numbers. Interpretation is unavoidable but you should at least have the numbers to back it up.

A Bible
A version of each translation. Before the printer, no two bibles were alike. Now no two translations are alike. And there are way too many. About 60 English translations. Each translation has more than one version. So the “Word of God” is subject to translations, revisions, and interpretation. For the most part they agree on numbers.

A Mystery
A beast that was, and is not. The beast that was had seven heads and the beast that is to come has ten horns. History will verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Only history can. Just look for it but don’t use your interpretation. Use numbers. They are not misleading. Nearly all the bible translations agree on the numbers. Not much else.

A Connection With History
A prophecy fulfilled in history connected with numbers. Bible translations, versions, and interpretations vary considerably but somehow agree on numbers and colors so they can be reliably used to connect prophecy with history. Historians don’t always agree on numbers but they do get close enough.
A Critical Time In Church History
A return of the great to lead the Church. Augustine, Chrysostom, and Jerome guided the Church into the fifth century. The rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. It may have been Augustine who said, “Oh no, not another Latin Bible”. The Vulgate would become the official bible of the Church.
