A Picture With Many Pieces
A connection of shapes and colors. The pieces have to fit not based on your interpretation but on something objective like numbers and colors even though many are symbolizing them. It can mean anything you want it to mean unless you limit yourself. Translators have taken a lot of liberties with the Word of God but somehow they all agree on numbers and colors. Use them and history to paint a picture you can trust.
A Number
A key to understanding the Apocalypse. Colors like numbers don’t need interpretation. They are not symbolic. They are real. Just look for them. Not in the future. In history. They are there. Even the translators got them right. It is the only thing they agree on. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.
A Sea
A location. The color of the horses is a clue from whence they came. Start with the Red and Black seas. The white sea is a little tricky. It is the Mediterranean aka white sea according to the Turks. Like numbers, colors are translated accurately. No room for interpretation. The translators all agree on numbers 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 Translation Problem
A beast is an it according to Daniel and Daniel knows beasts. Some of the translators didn’t get it right. Somehow its horns became his horns. Somehow they all agreed “it had ten horns”. This is not a small matter. A person cannot have ten horns. Only a beast. Some translators were not inspired. You have to love BibleGateway.
A Prophecy
A number to connect them. You can trust numbers. Interpretation not so much. We have way too many bible versions because translators can’t agree on the Word of God. Somehow they all agree on the numbers. Use them and history to confirm the fulfillment of prophecy.
A Revelation of Jesus Christ
A number to connect it with history. You can trust numbers. Not interpretation. Not even the translators who somehow get the numbers right. Historians do have trouble with dates but eventually they get it right. The fulfillment of prophecy can only be confirmed with numbers.
A Number
A count in some bibles. Another example where the translators can’t agree on the Word of God but they are in complete agreement with numbers. Only numbers can be trusted to tie what has been prophesied to historical events that confirm the fulfillment of those prophecies. You can count on them.

A Color
A guide to interpretation. You can trust numbers and maybe colors to be reliably translated. Not so much with the other words. The “words of God” are seen differently by the many different translators. Who can you trust? Historians. What can you trust? Maybe numbers. Historians have trouble with dates but they do get close enough.
