A Football Game –
A team we couldn’t stop. I was left line backer and they scored on their first two possessions. They were on their way to a third one when the coach pulled me out. On the sideline I was able to see what they were doing and told the coach to put me in at left end and I would stop it. He did and they never made another first down. We won the game.

A Christian Empire –
A reign with Christ. The Byzantine Empire was a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years when they reigned with Christ. Does it fit with the other numbers: 666, ten horns, and seven heads? The number 666 is next. Daniel is a good place to look for clues. Does he know numbers?

A Date –
A number. 666 Historians ignore that year but it is very clear Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople. Gibbon notes the problem with dates and his 46 years reference puts it as close as 668. Putting 46 in an Islamic calendar converter results in 666. That is a calculation and not a count.

A History –
A reliable connection to prophecy. Your interpretation not so much. Same for many bible translators who do not agree. Numbers survive both. It is the only reliable way to verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Use numbers to connect history with what has been prophesied. A thousand years is a good place to start.

A Bike Ride Before Dawn –
A difficult dailyprompt. I do look forward to the dailyprompt but today cannot do. It takes you out of your comfort zone and forces you to think about a life experience that applies. Thank you for these opportunities and sorry I can’t really participate today.

A Mark –
A beginning. A date is the most common mark on any product sold today. Consider 666 as a mark or a date. What happened in that year? What calendar? The Gregorian started in 1582 or the Julian starting at 44 BC or the Islamic calendar starting in 622? Consider them all.

A Word to the Wise –
A final chapter. These sayings are faithful and true. The translators not so much. They couldn’t agree so we have 60 different English translations with many more revisions. Lord, to whom shall we go? Good question Peter. Not everyone has been properly inspired so some of us must rely on numbers and maybe colors. This is where the translators actually agree.

A Book Titled “Catch 22” –
A book I read again after the movie came out. The first time I ever laughed out loud. A great movie and a great book. There were many other forgettable ones. Many that I remembered not finishing.

A Duty First –
A chore to do. As a young boy on the farm I had to take care of the animals while it was still dark. As an old man I ride my bike outside before the sun comes up. Before that I do the dailyprompt. Promptly to get attention. Look at me. I have something to say.

A Life Eternal –
A consequence of the choices we make. Beware of the second death. Fear only God who can destroy the soul. He knows your works. You are what you do. Talk is cheap. Walk the talk and avoid the second death. You can live forever with God. Just readeth, watcheth, keepeth and overcometh.
