A Him Or An It
A translation problem. Can you find the beast if you are looking for a “him” instead of an “it”? In Revelation 13:1; 20 have “his horns”, 20 have “its horns”, 15 have “It had ten horns” . We need Daniel 7:7 to clear this up. “it had ten horns” is a clear winner. You need to look for an “it” and not a “him” to find the beast. It makes a difference.

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.

A Mystery
A beast that was, and is not. The beast that was had seven heads and the beast that is to come has ten horns. History will verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Only history can. Just look for it but don’t use your interpretation. Use numbers. They are not misleading. Nearly all the bible translations agree on the numbers. Not much else.

A Blessing For He That Watcheth
A need to understand. History is the key. A place for the fulfillment of prophecy. What is to come will be found in history. We just need to watch for it. What should we look for? Numbers and colors that somehow survived the errors of translation and interpretation. They reliably connect history to prophecy.
A History
A fulfillment of prophecy verified with numbers that don’t require interpretation. There are over 50 English translations of the bible that agree on numbers. Big numbers like a thousand is the place to start. There is only one Christian empire that lasted a thousand years and it fits.

A Number
A bible translation to be trusted. There are 60 English bible translations with many revisions and many differences but somehow they all get the numbers and colors right. It may be the only way to reliably connect prophecy and history. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.
A Reliable Connection
A fulfillment of prophecy in history connected by numbers and colors. You can’t trust your bible translation or your interpretation. We have 60 different English translations with many revisions that don’t agree but somehow they get the numbers and colors right.
A Translation Issue
A beast. Your bible could have as many as 296 beasts or as few as 87. There are 20 translations that consider the beast in Revelation 13:1 a ‘he’ and 37 translations call it an ‘it’. This is a significant difference. Daniel 7:7 can help us here. The fourth beast is an it in all 52 translations. It has ten horns just like the beast in Revelation.

A Big Problem
A word can be misleading 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. These are major differences in words used before you get to the problem of interpreting them.

A History Of Interpretation
A hijack of the Apocalypse. How does a commentator become a prophet? Simply by interpreting the Word of God. Historians are less likely to have an agenda which makes them more trustworthy and possibly inspired by God. History can be used to interpret prophecy but only after it has been fulfilled.
