a number of years 

A Number in Daniel – 

A key to understanding the Apocalypse.  John knows Daniel and Daniel knows the number of years.  The numbers John uses have been preserved in nearly all of the bible translations.  They can be trusted in identifying historical events that might be a fulfillment of prophecy.  Not just one number but all the numbers must fit.  And colors.

A Prince – 

A general or other?  Good luck if you are looking for the king of the north.  The translators can’t agree on Daniel 11:5.  24 think he was a prince and 28 think he was anything but a prince.  princes 24, commanders 11, officers 7, officials 5, generals 2, leaders 2, subordinates 1 – Go figure.  Who can you trust?  What can you trust?  Numbers and history.

a prophecy 

A History – 

A fulfillment of prophecy.  Only history can verify the fulfillment of prophecy.  Only numbers can verify the interpretation of prophecy.  The translators and interpreters of the bible can’t seem to agree on most of the words but somehow they agree on the numbers.  The word of God may vary but not His numbers.  Follow the numbers.  And colors.

a prophecy 

A Revelation – 

A book of what is to come.  Only history can verify what has been prophesied.  History based on numbers.  Not on interpretation.  You can only trust numbers.  Numbers do not have to be interpreted.  Start with the big numbers like a thousand and it might lead you to the Byzantine Empire that fits with all the other numbers.  And colors.

a translator 

A Bible – 

A version of each translation.  Before the printer, no two bibles were alike.  Now no two translations are alike.  And there are way too many.  About 60 English translations.  Each translation has more than one version.  So the “Word of God” is subject to translations, revisions, and interpretation.  For the most part they agree on numbers.  And colors.

a history recorded 

A Reliable Source – 

A reason to believe in the bible.  Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.  Only numbers and colors can reliably connect history and prophecy.  Do all the different bibles agree on anything?  Numbers and colors.  They don’t need to be interpreted.  Unlike many other words that seem to demand it.
