a number 

A History – 

A reliable connection to prophecy.  Your interpretation not so much.  Same for many bible translators who do not agree.  Numbers survive both.  It is the only reliable way to verify the fulfillment of prophecy.  Use numbers to connect history with what has been prophesied.  A thousand years is a good place to start.

A Writer Named John –

A confirmation that the Apostle wrote the Apocalypse was needed for it to be in the bible today.  Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.  Many didn’t believe it was written by the Apostle and therefore didn’t belong in the bible.  Thanks to Jerome we have it in the bible today.

a prince 

A Translation Problem – 

A commander or another interpretation problem if you are looking for the king of the north. There are eight different words in 52 different translations: princes 24, commanders 10, officers 7, officials 5, generals 2, leaders 2, principalities 1, subordinates 1. The word prince suggests a family member unlike the other seven words which have a similar meaning. Makes you wonder about words used in other parts of the bible. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them. Reader beware.
