A Color
A guide to interpretation. You can trust numbers and maybe colors to be reliably translated. Not so much with the other words. The “words of God” are seen differently by the many different translators. Who can you trust? Historians. What can you trust? Maybe numbers. Historians have trouble with dates but they do get close enough.

A Picture With Many Pieces
A connection of shapes and colors. The pieces have to fit not based on your interpretation but on something objective like numbers and colors even though many are symbolizing them. It can mean anything you want it to mean unless you limit yourself. Translators have taken a lot of liberties with the Word of God but somehow they all agree on numbers and colors. Use them and history to paint a picture you can trust.
A History
A fulfillment of a prophecy, Only history can verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Only numbers can verify the interpretation of prophecy. The translators and interpreters of the bible can’t seem to agree on most of the words but somehow they agree on the numbers. The word of God may vary but not His numbers. Follow the numbers.

A Recapitulation
A commentary on the Apocalypse by Victorinus who introduced the theory of recapitulation. Without it misinterpretation is likely. The visions of John cannot be understood to be in chronological order. Each vision should be considered independent of the others. Some are a repetition of others. Recapitulation is a necessary tool in understanding the Apocalypse.

A Number
A key to understanding the Apocalypse. Colors like numbers don’t need interpretation. They are not symbolic. They are real. Just look for them. Not in the future. In history. They are there. Even the translators got them right. It is the only thing they agree on. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.
A Sea
A location. The color of the horses is a clue from whence they came. Start with the Red and Black seas. The white sea is a little tricky. It is the Mediterranean aka white sea according to the Turks. Like numbers, colors are translated accurately. No room for interpretation. The translators all agree on numbers and colors.

A “Reign Of Christ”
A phrase not found in the bible. “Reigned with Christ” can be found. A thousand years can be found in history. Your interpretation, “reign of Christ”, can be found on the internet but not in your bible. This is why you can’t trust your interpretation. Trust the numbers.
A Reading Of This Prophecy
A blessing if you have an ear for this prophecy. The time was at hand. That was then. Now we have history. That is where prophecy is fulfilled. Look for it using numbers which you can trust. Not your interpretation. Not even your version of the bible. Somehow all translations get the numbers right.
A Third John
A place called Patmos. This is all we know. Everything else is speculation or interpretation. Is yours better than the others? Is your bible better than the others? Do they have anything in common? Numbers. Somehow they get the numbers right. We also have logic and reason to make sense of them.
A Revelation
A book of what is to come. Only history can verify what has been prophesied. History based on numbers. Not on interpretation. You can only trust numbers. Numbers do not have to be interpreted. Start with the big numbers like a thousand and it might lead you to the Byzantine Empire that fits with all the other numbers.
