to verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Your interpretation can prevent you from identifying the historical events that have been prophesied. Numbers do not require interpretation. All bible translations agree on numbers and colors. That is where you need to start.
A Cottage Industry
that goes beyond home bible studies. It uses private interpretation of ambiguous phases in prophecy to support a particular agenda. It ignores two thousand years of history simply because it doesn’t fit with preconceived interpretations. History is the only advantage we have over the early fathers of the Church so why not use it? How can we use prophecy to search history without first interpreting it? Numbers. Numbers and possibly colors don’t require interpretation. Start with numbers. Big numbers like a thousand.

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.
