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.
A New Latin Translation
A validation of the Apocalypse. Jerome put it in his Vulgate. He believed it was written by John the Apostle. Many didn’t think this. Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finalizing his bible and could have confirmed who wrote it. Patmos is not that far from Ephesus.
A Prophecy Fulfilled
A number to connect them. Numbers can be trusted. Your interpretation, not so much. There are way too many different translations of the bible but they all seem to agree on the numbers. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy and only numbers can reliably connect history to prophecy.

A Fulfillment Of Prophecy In History
A number to connect them. A reliable way to find historical events that seem to fulfill what has been prophesied. There are way too many different interpretations of too many different translations of the bible to confirm any fulfillment of prophecy. Numbers may be the only way to connect history with prophecy.

A Word of God
A test of your bible. Does it have the word ‘test’? If not, do you know what you are doing here? You are being tested. From a bible that does contain the word ‘test’, you are being refined, purified, and tested. Those with insight shall understand. Words have meaning and they can be mistranslated.

A Word to the Wise
A final chapter. These sayings are faithful and true. The translators not so much. They couldn’t agree so we have 60 different English translations with many more revisions. Lord, to whom shall we go? Good question Peter. Not everyone has been properly inspired so some of us must rely on numbers and maybe colors. This is where the translators actually agree.

A City of God
A new bible translated by Jerome precedes Augustine’s commentary on the Apocalypse in The City of God. Prior to the Vulgate many believed the Apocalypse did not belong in the bible. This was settled once and for all by Jerome who had the authority to define the bible.
