A Verification Of The Bible –
A prophecy fulfilled in history gives us reason to believe what we find in the bible is truth. It also helps us interpret the bible but we must be limited to that which has already happened. Who can know the future? Not even the prophet who is directed to predict it. Somehow the prophet can assure us that all will end well providing us with a necessary comfort. Understanding it is not necessary. Readers will be blessed.

A Writer Named John –
A confirmation that the Apostle wrote the Apocalypse was needed for it to be in the bible today. Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.
