A Reign of Christ Not Found In The Bible
A misinterpretation. They reigned with Christ a thousand years can be found. The “reign of Christ” can be found on the internet but not in the bible. The Byzantine Empire where they reigned with Christ a thousand years can be found. Ten horns and seven heads can also be found along with a perfect fit for Babylon the Great. Constantinople.
A Prophecy Fulfilled in History
A number to connect them. Bible translators agree on numbers and to some extent so do historians. Historical events can be connected to prophecy with numbers and colors. Start with a big number like a thousand and see if the other numbers like 666, ten, seven, etc. fit. There is only one Christian empire that lasted a thousand years where they reigned with Christ.
A key piece of the puzzle. Only John Chrysostom could say, “five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come”. He was talking about the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. Only an astronomer could say John Chrysostom, who was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century, wrote the Apocalypse. Only R. H. Charles would include something like this in his book”Studies in the Apocalypse”. Really.
A Third John
A patriarch was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. At the time five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had already fallen and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. He may have needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse to translate. John Chrysostom was someone you could trust.

A Dynasty
A connection with Daniel. The ten horns tie the fourth beast of Daniel to the second beast of the Apocalypse. The horns are dynasties and they are named by Islam. They can be connected by two big numbers. A thousand years and the year 666. The seven heads can also be connected with the seven dynasties of Rome.
A Great City
A capital of an empire that lasted a thousand years. Constantinople is Babylon the Great. The Byzantine Empire lasted a thousand years and its capital was Constantinople. At the start there were the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. At the end there was the tenth dynasty of Islam. All the pieces fit.

A Storm and Thunder
A Russian astronomer claimed John Chrysostom wrote the Apocalypse in 395 based on astronomy. This John was in Ephesus at the beginning of 401. He could have said, “there are seven kings: five are fallen.” At the time, five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had fallen. Really.

A Dynasty
A suggestion that “the heads are seven successive dynasties” can be found in Sir Isaac Newton’s Daniel and the Apocalypse. The seven dynasties of the Roman Empire are listed here. The ten dynasties of Islam are listed here. Both are a fit with history. The Byzantine Empire started with the fifth dynasty of Rome and ended with the tenth dynasty of Islam.

A Fit with Numbers
A thousand year empire starting with the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire and ending with the tenth dynasty of Islam. The first beast, Rome, whose deadly wound was healed was replaced by the second beast Islam. The Byzantine Empire fits with all the numbers you can trust. You can’t trust interpretation.

A Great City
A whore hated by the beast with ten horns. Constantinople can be found no more at all. It is a mystery and likely to remain so. It is the only city to satisfy all the characteristics of Babylon the Great: seven hills, many waters, merchants, and is fallen, is fallen. Constantinople is Babylon the Great.
