The Epochs of their Beginning and Ending.......................................... 472 WE lay down the following as our principles of interpreting symbolic prophecy. First. Perfect coincidence of events with prophecy, is infallible proof of the fulfillment of prophecy. It was in accordance with this principle, that Jesus proved himself to be the Messiah. Second. The definition of prophetic symbols is to be found in scripture, or to be determined by fulfillment. Where a symbol has more than one scriptural sense, which is rarely case, its intended meaning must be determined either by its context or by fulfillment, or by both. the Third. All interpretations must coincide with the litera and evangelical doctrines of the bible. Fourth.
