A Famous Clue
that often goes unnoticed. What the early fathers of the Church wrote has been extensively studied but what has been overlooked is what the early fathers overlooked. A good example of this is Eusebius who was obsessed with martyrs didn’t mention Antipas in Chuch History. Martyrs from Pergamus are not missing, Carpus and Papylus, and a woman named Agathonice are mentioned as martyrs in Pergamus but not Antipas. Who has tried to explain this?

A Number
or I should say the word number. Found it in Daniel and it referred to years. I then searched history to find out what happened in the year 666. Nothing. I did find Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years where they reigned with Christ. Not a bad start.
A Necessary Ingredient
to verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Your interpretation can prevent you from identifying the historical events that have been prophesied. Numbers do not require interpretation. All bible translations agree on numbers and colors. That is where you need to start.
A Cottage Industry
that goes beyond home bible studies. It uses private interpretation of ambiguous phases in prophecy to support a particular agenda. It ignores two thousand years of history simply because it doesn’t fit with preconceived interpretations. History is the only advantage we have over the early fathers of the Church so why not use it? How can we use prophecy to search history without first interpreting it? Numbers. Numbers and possibly colors don’t require interpretation. Start with numbers. Big numbers like a thousand.

A Literal Interpretation
when different bibles use different words. Numbers and some colors are the only words you can rely on. Especially when it comes to prophecy. How can you be sure a historic event fulfills what has been prophesied? Numbers. Numbers that fit historical events. Almost all the bibles agree on numbers. No interpretation required. Use them.
A Study
of the Apocalypse. The results of this research have been presented on four different forums over the past 15 years. The latest and possibly the greatest presentation is at Theology Forums. Here using history I have specifically identified all the major parts of the Apocalypse. I don’t think you will find another presentation like this.

A Necessary Action
that will help determine what you need to do. History is where you start. It is the only advantage we have over those who have gone before us. We can learn from them. What worked. What didn’t. Whatever is new must be tested. Be not afraid. Be careful. Be kind. Be reasonable.
A Historian
who did not appreciate interpretation. “The folly of Interpreters has been, to foretel times and things by this Prophecy, as if God designed to make them Prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the Prophecy also into contempt. The design of God was much otherwise. He gave this and the Prophecies of the Old Testament, not to gratify men’s curiosities by enabling them to foreknow things, but that after they were fulfilled they might be interpreted by the event, and his own Providence, not the Interpreters, be then manifested thereby to the world.”

A Fit
into the future which is very flexible. History not so much. You can try to rewrite history but there will always be a few honest historians that will resist your attempts. Only a prophet can predict the future. Only a historian can confirm the fulfillment of a prophecy. Only numbers can confirm what fits history. Use them all.

A Prophecy
they are putting into the future 2000 years later. Why? History does not fit their interpretation. Maybe their interpretation is wrong. Maybe the prophecy is about the first coming and not the second one. This is a reasonable explanation. Putting that which must shortly come to pass into the future 2000 years later is not reasonable.
