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 repetition 

A Recapitulation – 

A reinforcement, a necessary theory in understanding the Apocalypse first introduced by Victorinus of Pettau.  It holds that the visions are not necessarily in chronological order and possibly a repetition of other visions.  Many interpretation errors are a result of assuming the chapters are in chronological order.

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.

A Number – 

A connection between history and prophecy that can be trusted.  Your interpretation?  Not so much.  Your translation?  Not so much except for numbers and colors.  Somehow they have survived what translators do to the Word of God.  Some things are sacred.  There are 60 different English translations to choose from.  Which one do you trust?
