A christian empire
that lasted one thousand years
it was a christian empire where church and state worked together to make the world safe for christianity – two witnesses – candlesticks and olive trees – would mortally wound the first beast and chain it –
that was then and this is now
So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can’t go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
the capital
- can be found no more at all 18:21
- is fallen, is fallen 18:2
- famous for trade 18:11
- their kingdom unto the beast 17:17
- many waters 17:1
- seven hills 17:9
