A City –
A church and a bar on every corner. Saturday night at the bar. Sunday morning at the church. A dialogue with like minded people. A place to worship with like minded people. A T-shirt with a church on the front and a bar on the back. Wear it proudly.
A Testimony of Jesus Christ –
A “bare record”. It was John the Baptist “who bare record”. It was John the Apostle who wrote “to the seven churches”. It was John Chrysostom, “who also am your brother”, who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate and needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse. Three Johns. Really.

A Starting Point –
A thousand years in history where they reigned with Christ. The “reign of Christ” cannot be found in the bible. Only on the internet. Go figure. Start with the big number. There’s only one. No interpretation required. The smaller numbers are not so hard to find.

A Second John –
A prophecy repeated. John the Apostle to the seven churches. John the Baptist who bare record knew the Lamb of God and the Apostle knew the Baptist. John Chrysostom, a third john and a brother, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate, the official bible of the Church.

A Premillennialist –
A thousand year “Reign of Christ”. They “reigned with Christ” is what is in the bible. That is a big difference. Look for a thousand years where they reigned with Christ. They did the reigning in a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. Like the Byzantine Empire. It’s the only one. Check it out. It fits with the other numbers. And colors.

A “Reign Of Christ” –
A problem with the bible. The “Reign of Christ” cannot be found in the bible. “Reign of Christ” will get millions of 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. Or colors.

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. And colors.

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 Vulgate –
A canon that included the Apocalypse. Before Chrysostom, Jerome, and Augustine, it was not clear if the Apocalypse belonged in the bible. At the beginning of the fifth century these three were major players in the Church and the bible was being defined. It is clear now. Thank you Jerome.

A Reliable Source –
A reason to believe in the bible. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy. Only numbers and colors can reliably connect history and prophecy. Do all the different bibles agree on anything? Numbers and colors. They don’t need to be interpreted. Unlike many other words that seem to demand it.
