a beast 

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 commander 

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 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.

a prophecy 

A Sealed Revelation 

A key to understanding.  Only He can open the book and break the seven seals.  Only history can verify the fulfillment of prophecy and only numbers and colors can connect them.  Start with a big number like a thousand years and see if it fits with the smaller ones.  Interpreting what has been translated is not reliable.

A Connection With History 

A prophecy fulfilled in history connected with numbers.  Bible translations, versions, and interpretations vary considerably but somehow agree on numbers and colors so they can be reliably used to connect prophecy with history.  Historians don’t always agree on numbers but they do get close enough.

a study 

A Search for Truth 

A hidden prophecy to be revealed in the end.  How?  To those who watch?  Watch for what?  Something that fits with what has been prophesied.  Based on your interpretation?  Based on a certain bible translation?  Is there anything that they agree on?  Yes.  Numbers and colors.  Try connecting history and prophecy with just numbers and colors.

a fit with history 

A Prophecy Fulfilled 

A number to connect them.  Numbers can be trusted.  Your interpretation, not so much.  There are way too many different translations of the bible but they all seem to agree on the numbers.  Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy and only numbers can reliably connect history to prophecy.
