history 

A Necessary Ingredient 

along with numbers can help us interpret the Apocalypse.  Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.  Only numbers can prevent us from misinterpreting prophecy.  We can’t be sure what a ‘horn’ is but we can be sure there are ‘ten’ of them.  We can also be sure that the “ten horns” of Daniel are the same “ten horns” of the Apocalypse.  They have to fit history.

numbers are 

A Key 

to understanding the Apocalypse.  No interpretation required.  Only history can fulfill prophecy and numbers are the only way to get historical events to fit with what has been prophesied.  All the numbers, not just a few, must fit a historical scenario.

the Vulgate 

A Translation 

of the bible by Jerome.  Where did he get his copies?  We have no copies of the Apocalypse older than what is in the Vulgate.  Jerome had to rely on others for reliable copies.  We can only speculate but it must be consistent with historical records that somehow survived.  History is all we have so we must rely on being led to the right stuff.  Ask for directions.

Apocalypse 

A Puzzle 

with many pieces. To see the big picture, you need many pieces to fit each other.  The pieces of your interpretation will always fit into the future.  History is not so flexible.  History will always limit your choices but it can actually help you with your interpretation.  Use it.

A Book 

that directed John to prophesy again.  The time was near not for the second coming but for the first coming.  Today the time is near for the second one.  What was prophesied should be clear now and only history can verify that but you can’t rely on your interpretation.  You can only rely on numbers and maybe colors that don’t need interpretation.  So let us start with numbers and historical events that might fit what appears to be prophesied. Is there a thousand years where they reigned with Christ?

A Number 

a big prophetic number like a thousand and see if it fits with other prophetic numbers in historical events.  Fulfillment of prophecy requires matching historical events and prophetic numbers don’t require interpretation.  You can’t rely on interpretation.  Only a literal reading and a fit with historical events is trustworthy.    

Watch for more pieces that fit.  Blessed is the one who looks.

not proof but

A Fit 

with what seems to be prophesied.  Historical events alone can verify the fulfillment of prophecy.  There is only one requirement.  That it fit with other big pieces based on numbers alone.  Numbers do not require interpretation.  Only numbers can be trusted.  Start with numbers.  

Watch for more pieces that fit.  Blessed is the one who looks.

history and numbers

A Reliable Method 

for interpreting prophecy if not the only reliable method.  Only history can verify the fulfillment of prophecy and only numbers can reliably identify the valid historical events.  

Watch for more pieces that fit.  Blessed is the one who looks.

historical events

A Fit 

but not proof.  While history is the only way to demonstrate the fulfillment of prophecy, it takes many pieces to fit in order to be sure you are on the right track.  You can trust numbers which do not require interpretation but you need a number of pieces to fit.  So start with the big pieces.  They are the hardest to fit.  Like a thousand years.  A big fit.  
Watch for more pieces that fit.  Blessed is the one who looks.
