A Christian Empire
A reign with Christ. The Byzantine Empire was a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. They reigned with Christ. This is where to start. Will the other numbers fit? 666, ten, seven. Daniel can help us with “ten horns”. The fourth beast of Daniel is the second beast of John. What do we know about beasts?

A Number in Daniel
A key to understanding the Apocalypse. John knows Daniel and Daniel knows the number of years. The numbers John uses have been preserved in nearly all of the bible translations. They can be trusted in identifying historical events that might be a fulfillment of prophecy. Not just one number but all the numbers must fit.

A Seal Opened By The Lamb
A revelation at the end of time. “Knowledge shall be increased”. “Many shall run to and fro” according to Daniel. John was told to “Seal not the sayings” for the time is near. Listen, if you have an ear, and may your knowledge increase. Blessed is he that readeth and hears the words of this prophecy.
A Number To Connect Them
A thousand years bracketed by seven dynasties of the Roman Empire, the third beast of Daniel, and the ten dynasties of Islam, the fourth beast of Daniel. Constantinople, a perfect fit for Babylon the Great, was started by the rider of the White Horse, attacked in 666 by the second dynasty of Islam, and destroyed by the tenth.
A Head Or A Horn
A number that fits. Count the dynasties of the Roman Empire. Seven as in “seven heads”. Count the dynasties of Islam or let them count for you. Ten as in “ten horns”. Let Daniel count the beasts. Four and the fourth one has “ten horns” just like the second beast of John having “seven heads and ten horns”. Count them.
A Reason for the Apocalypse
A preparation for the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This was a job for John the Baptist. He knew the Lamb. He knew Daniel. He knew the Old Testament. He bare record. He was the first John. John the Apostle was the second. Chrysostom was the third. It’s complicated but it can be explained.
