a word 

A Meaning – 

A tool for communicating. The translators couldn’t agree on the meaning of certain words. That is why there are 60 different English versions of the Bible. What do they agree on? Numbers and colors. This may be the only reliable connection of history and prophecy. Our interpretation of what has been prophesied must take this into account. Trust numbers and colors.

A Record of What Wasn’t – 

A problem with Eusebius and Victorinus.  They don’t seem to be aware of the seven churches of the Apocalypse.  Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches but never associates them with the Apocalypse.  Victorinus mentions the seven churches that Paul wrote to but not the seven churches of the Apocalypse.  Was there a version of the Apocalypse that did not have the seven churches?

A Number – 
A connection with prophecy.  Different interpretations have led to over 60 different English bible translations.  They all seem to agree on numbers.  They all agree on a thousand years, 666, ten horns, seven heads, and five are fallen.  Numbers can be used to connect history with prophecy which is the only way to verify the fulfillment of prophecy.

A Year – 

A date, a beginning, a start, a mark.  Nearly every product sold today has a date marking its beginning.  The word “number” in Daniel refers to years.  Historians are good at ignoring what may have happened in the year 666 but we do know Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople about that time.

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 of prophecy.
