[chrysostom]

a bible defined
A New Latin Translation
A validation of the Apocalypse. Jerome put it in his Vulgate. He believed it was written by John the Apostle. Many didn't think this. Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finalizing his bible and could have confirmed who wrote it. Patmos is not that far from Ephesus.

a first resurrection
A Critical Time In Church History
A return of the great to lead the Church. Augustine, Chrysostom, and Jerome guided the Church into the fifth century. The rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. It may have been Augustine who said, "Oh no, not another Latin Bible". The Vulgate would become the official bible of the Church.

a time that was near
A First Coming
A reason for the Apocalypse. "The time is at hand." It "must shortly come to pass". Here we are 2000 years later still looking for the second coming. The reason for the Apocalypse was to prepare the way for the "lamb". A word found 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Baptist knew the Lamb of God.

a number
A Connection With History
A prophecy fulfilled in history connected with numbers. Bible translations, versions, and interpretations vary considerably but somehow agree on numbers and colors so they can be reliably used to connect prophecy with history. Historians don't always agree on numbers but they do get close enough.

a door to unlock
A Necessary Key
A Revelation. An Apocalypse. Pick a number. A big number like a thousand or 666 and see where it leads you. Does it fit with the smaller numbers like ten, seven, five, four, or two? Both prophecy and history use numbers making it possible to connect them reliably. History is the only place to confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.

a place to start
A Number In Daniel
A number of years. A date? A common mark on products sold today. So what happened in the year 666? Nothing. Historians avoid that year but history does show Islam getting ready to attack Constantinople the capital of an empire where Christians reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Sorry, but the thousand years has NOT come yet.
During that thousand years the world will NOT be like it is today. Christ will NOT allow it.

a thousand years
A Reign With Christ
A place to start. The "Reign of Christ" cannot be found in the bible. You can find "a thousand years" where they "reigned with Christ". The Byzantine Empire. The 'reign of Christ' can only be found in the future. 'A thousand year reign' can be found in history just by using the number and not your interpretation.

Chapter 20 of the Book of Revelation is written from a FUTURE PERSPECTIVE. So please do not try to twist it into something else (that's called bearing false witness).

By your "twisting", the thousand years already happened when John wrote the book.

And then there's this:

Rev 20:6 (AKJV/PCE)
(20:6) Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Oops... future tense.

Question: When was Satan loosed to deceive the nations? [Verse 8]
Answer: Has not happened, since he had not even been bound yet.

Question: When did the armies of Satan "compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city"? [Verse 9]
Answer: Has not happened yet.

Question: When did "fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them"? [Verse 9]
Answer: Has not happened yet.

Question: When did the Great White Throne Judgment occur? [Verses 11-14]
Answer: Has not happened yet.

a mystery
A Babylon The Great
A capital of a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. Constantinople alone has all the characteristics: many waters 17:1, mystery 17:5, seven hills 17:9, trade 18:11, it has fallen, fallen 18:2, and it can be found no more at all 18:21. Does it have seven heads and ten horns? We shall see.

Not true.

 

[Right Divider]

Not true.

True.

You emphisised the past tense REIGNED as if that meant something that it did not.

Don't you have Christ reigning in the future?

The Bible does. I just believe it.

a beast that was
A Beast That Is To Come
A beginning and an end to a thousand year empire. The Byzantine Empire. It started with the Roman Empire that had seven dynasties and ended with the Ottoman Empire that had ten dynasties. A good fit but this requires an understanding of what makes a beast a beast and only Daniel can help us with this problem.

[chrysostom]

a beast in the making
A Connection With Daniel
A common beast with "ten horns". John knows Daniel and Daniel knows beasts. What makes a beast a beast? The Temple. Don't mess with the Temple. Babylon destroyed the first Temple. Greece desecrated the second that was destroyed by Rome. Islam is preventing the third with the Dome of the Rock.

a time to wonder
A Reason For Hope
A First Coming. Prepare for the Way, the Truth, and the Light. Life. Life is Good. Marriage is sacred. Family is the way to protect the child. The Church is the way to protect the truth. The laity is the way to protect the Church. We all have a job to do. The Lord is your Shepherd. He will guide you. Your way will be clear.
