A Reliable Connection – 

A translation problem, with so many different bibles, is further aggravated by interpretation issues that force most prophecies into the future.  Numbers  are the only way to reliably connect historical events to what has been prophesied.  Start with a big number like a thousand years.  There is only one where they reigned with Christ.  The Byzantine Empire.

A Fulfillment Of Prophecy In History – 

A number to connect them.  A reliable way to find historical events that seem to fulfill what has been prophesied.  There are way too many different interpretations of way too many different translations of the bible to confirm any fulfillment of prophecy.  Numbers may be the only way to reliably connect history with prophecy.

a test 

A Purpose For Our Existence – 

A word not found in some bibles. Here is an example from one that has it. We are being tested. “Many shall be refined, purified, and tested, but the wicked shall prove wicked; the wicked shall have no understanding, but those with insight shall.” This is the purpose, the reason, why we are here. Life has meaning. Those with insight shall understand. Testing 1, 2, 3.

A Reason to Live – 

A meaning for life.  A test of wills.  Don’t bury your talent.  Learn what you can.  Teach what you can.  You will need help.  Ask for it.  Seek the truth.  You will find it.  Knock and it will be open unto you.  The Truth will not only set you free, It will make you happy.  It will help you pass the final test.  We are being tested. You may not find that word in your bible.

A Church History – 

A problem with the churches.  Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches of the Apocalypse but never associates them with the Apocalypse.  He doesn’t mention Antipas.  All this would be consistent with an earlier version of the Apocalypse written by John the Baptist.  Victorinus has a similar problem.
