Quote: "Does a Biblical historical record exist?"
Answer: Men possessing the Spirit of the Living God have documented different parts of the biblical (no capital, B") record since coming out of the Dark Ages in the 1500s. The "Matthew Poole Commentary" was the first one with very many correct conclusions. He was a qualified expositor because he predicted the future by interpreting Revelation.

Armageddon = fall of Ottoman Turks. Encyclopedia: Turks surrendered Oct. 29, 1918.
Albert Barnes, 1851, Armageddon = fall of Turks.
B.W. Johnson, 1891, Armageddon = fall of Turks.
Alexander Campbell, 1823-66; "kill with sword will be killed with sword" (Rev 13.10) = Babylon (Papal Rome); Encyclopedia: Papacy & Pope Pius IX run out of Rome and into captivity, Sept. 20, 1870.
