A History –
A witness to what no longer exists. What was Victorinus looking at when he wrote his Commentary on the Apocalypse? What was Eusebius looking at when he wrote his Church History? We can only speculate based on what they wrote, what they didn’t write, and what is reasonable. Can we make sense of it? It makes more sense than most interpretations.

A Canon –
A redaction at the turn of the fifth century. Jerome defined the bible when he finished the Vulgate which would become the official bible of the Church. It contains the oldest existing copy of the Apocalypse. We can only speculate on what it looked like before that time based on other older existing documents.

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 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.

A Red Sea –
A great sword and power to take peace from the earth. Mohammed, the antichrist and the father of the second beast from the Red Sea is the rider of the red horse. History records the wars against the saints. The ten horns are the ten Islamic dynasties. The ten horns also connect Daniel.

A Historian –
A problem with dates. Gibbon gets real close. Go ahead, pick an Islamic calendar converter and put 46 in it. You get 666. 46 is the number Gibbon used. 46 years after the Hijri year Constantinople was attacked. A date is a mark. Gibbon notes the problems with dates. More versions calculate the number 666.

A High Priest –
A candlestick and olive tree. Two witnesses. A search for two olive trees leads to Zechariah 4:3 and that leads to Zerubbabel a governor who is always associated with Joshua a high priest. Church and state. History has two Christian empires; the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. Both were defeated by the horns of the second beast. The Byzantines actually used Greek Fire coming out of the mouths of animal figures mounted on the boats to defeat the Muslim attackers.

A Common Beast –
A second beast of the Apocalypse. John knows Daniel knows beasts. The beast which he saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. The “ten horns” also ties them together. Numbers tie history to the fulfillment of prophecy.

A Daughter –
A king of the north, a fit with history. Mohammed, the king of the south, and his daughter, Fatimah, along with Muawiyah, the king of the north are a perfect fit with Daniel 11. The abomination of desolation, the Dome of the Rock, was built by the Umayyad dynasty started by Muawiyah.
Home 21
A Threat to Christianity –
A threat to peace. The rider was Mohammed who was given a great sword. History records all the battles that can be attributed to Islam, the religion of peace. It started at the Red Sea. The Russians from the Black sea slowed them down but they must still be reckoned with. Don’t ignore the color.
