A Radical View That Is Consistent With History
A reasonable explanation. An unsettled mystery. Who, When, What, and Why? Especially the Why but the Who might explain all the others. John the Baptist preparing the way for the Way, the Truth, and the Light. The first coming. The Lamb of God. The time was near for this prophecy.
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.

A Failure To Mention The Seven Churches
A fourth century historian, Eusebius, mentions six of the seven churches but fails to associate them with the Apocalypse. Early copies of the Apocalypse no longer exist but if they did they might not contain seven churches. John the Baptist knew the “lamb” but not the churches.
A Premillennialist
A thousand year “Reign of Christ”. They “reigned with Christ” is what is in the bible. That is a big difference. Look for a thousand years where they reigned with Christ. A Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. Like the Byzantine Empire. It’s the only one. Check it out. It fits with the other numbers.

A Church With Seven Associations
A first look at what no longer exists. Victorinus from the second century commented on the Apocalypse. He mentions the seven churches Paul wrote to but not the ones John wrote to. This has not been addressed by the scholars so we can only speculate why. His version of the Apocalypse didn’t have seven churches.
A “Reign Of Christ”
A problem with the bible. The “Reign of Christ” cannot be found in the bible. It will get over six millions hits if you google it. Just another example of how the bible is misinterpreted. Who can you trust? What can you trust? Numbers. Interpretation is unavoidable but you should at least have the numbers to back it up.

A Hope For The Future
A “testimony of Jesus Christ”. The last book of the bible. A mystery that somehow communicates hope. A necessary ingredient in times of tribulation. You can overcometh. Listen, if you have an ear, to what the Spirit said to the churches.
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 Look At The Past
A history of prophecy. A time for fulfillment. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy. Only prophets can predict the future. The rest of us are limited to being historians and relying on recorded history. We also have to rely on numbers to connect history to prophecy.
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.
