a red horse
A Red Sea –
A great sword to take peace from the earth. The rider is Mohammed the father of Islam which is the fourth beast of Daniel and the second beast of the Apocalypse. It took them 44 years to get to Constantinople where they were stopped. It took them 110 years to get to Tours, France where they were stopped. The history of Islam is all the evidence you need to show that Islam is not a religion of peace.

a whore
A Great City –
A fit with Babylon the Great. Constantinople is fallen, is fallen, and can be found no more at all. This is a mystery and likely to remain so. It had seven mountains, many waters, and many merchants. Constantinople is the only city with all these characteristics. All the numbers are there: a thousand, 666, ten, and seven. It fits with history.

a writing to enjoy
A Dailyprompt –
A chance to answer the question with the fewest possible words. Thinking about the question is the best part. Letting the reader know where you are going up front is the most important part. Sinking the hook so the reader will follow. 18
a sea
A Color –
A location for the four horsemen. The Red Sea and the Black Sea are obvious. The White Sea not so much unless you consider the Aegean or Mediterranean Sea aka the white sea by the Turks. Like numbers, colors are not subject to interpretation and translation errors. You can trust them. Your interpretation not so much.

a sea of glass
A Mark –
A bible passage fulfilled. A sea of glass mingled with fire. They used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara, which was like a sheet of glass, and the year was 666. Historians stay away from the year 666 but there is no doubt as to what was going on at that time. Islam was attacking Constantinople. The number of his name connects the passages.

a love where I live
A Patio To Watch People –
A rocking chair with a place to put my beer. Most of the time you just wave. Some stop to talk. It is a good time. 17
a desolation
A Holy Place –
A daily sacrifice shall be taken away. What is in the Holy Place now? Daniel has three references to abomination. The first is “he” and most agree he was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The second is “they” shall place the abomination which is a better fit with the Dome of the Rock that is preventing the daily sacrifice.

A Year 666 –
A mark, a beginning, a Julian calendar starting in 44 BC. 622 of the Gregorian calendar, starting in 1582, marked the beginning of Islam. The Hegira marked the beginning of the Islamic calendar. 666 also marked the beginning of the attack on Constantinople if we look at Gibbon, his history, and his problem with dates. And we will.

a positive emotion
A Small Job Well Done –
A peace that comes with it. Sometimes it is as simple as a cat jumping up to a high chair so I can pet it without bending down. 16
