The significance of numbers in prophecy has not always been clearly understood. In prophecy, numbers are treated as signposts that must be read and followed in order to successfully arrive at a final destination. No prophecy can be accurately interpreted unless all the signposts are read, just as it is impossible to arrive at your highway destination if you miss an exit sign. Numbers therefore, are an important consideration in the accurate interpretation of prophecy. A rather strange phenomenon that has been noted throughout human history concerns the occurrence of major prophetic events on years of "The Threes". The years 1111, 1222, 1333, 1444, 1555, 1666, 1777, 1888 and 1999 all boast their share of historic prophetic events.
The Great Fire of London that occurred in the year 1666 is one of the best known examples of this phenomenon. The fire started on a Sunday in a small bakery shop near London Bridge, and rapidly spread throughout most of the old, walled city. The fire burned on for over four days, and ended up destroying approximately 80 percent of London. Historians tell us that the fire may have in fact been a blessing though, because it also helped to destroy the rat-infested slums that were contributing to a plague overspreading the city at the time.
Likewise in the year 1333, another prophetic event occurred on a year of "The Threes." In 1333 near the Volga River in northern China, a deadly plague broke out that would eventually decimate much of the world's human population. This plague entered Europe by way of the city of Constantinople, and killed nearly 70 percent of the citizens in most European cities. The plague was so deadly that it killed most of its victims within 24 hrs of the onset of symptoms. Many people literally sewed themselves into their own burial sacks, because there were not enough healthy people available to bury the dead.
The appearance of the Black Plague in China in 1333 was just one more of the many prophetic events that significantly altered the course of human history.
