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 Violation of Privacy –
A lack of freedom. Mark Twain got it right. The phone belongs in the closet. “Don’t call me, I’ll call you”. Better yet. Don’t let it ring and allow texting only. Going on vacation with a smart phone is really dumb. Just un-invent the ringer.
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 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 Feeling of Being Loved –
A mother. A saint. She picked up old ladies walking on the side of the road. They went grocery shopping together. They had tea together and I got to witness this in a dark smelly house. How do you forget something like that?
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 Place To Start The Reduction –
A source is the mailbox. The paper just keeps coming and it stacks up because you’re not ready to do something about it. That includes my bank statement which includes $0.07 tax withholding. When I go online, my checking account is blocked until I fill out a tax withholding form which includes an agreement to go paperless. They don’t need my permission to withhold 7 cents every month or to block my online statement but they do need my permission to go paperless which now is my only access. Thank you USAA.
A Caliph –
A sultan, and a perfect fit with Saladin if you know how to count caliphates, sultanates, or dynasties and can tell the difference. Islam can and they counted ten as in ten horns and they shall hate the whore. A connection between Daniel and the Apocalypse. A little horn reinforces the belief that horns are dynasties.

A Thousand Years –
A beast at the end. The Byzantine Empire was preceded by the Roman Empire and ended by the Ottoman Empire, the tenth dynasty of Islam. The ten horns that shall hate the whore. The seven heads are the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. Another fit. What about the number 666? Will that fit? Yes.
