A Year –
A clue from Daniel. John knows Daniel and Daniel knows number of years. Do we know what happened in the year 666? No. We do know that Muawiyah was preparing to attack Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years, where they reigned with Christ. What does Gibbon know?

A Prophecy Fulfilled –
A sea of glass. They used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara that was like a sheet of glass to defeat the Islamic attackers. The city was Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years. The year was 666. The Byzantine Empire survived this and many other sieges.

A Lost Connection With The World –
A need to reach all nations. Not being able to is bad news. I can’t do my job without a computer. Look for a new job? Look for a different way to do my job? Thinking.

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 T9 Typing –
A dumb phone. A need to let others know I’m okay. Also to ask for help if necessary. I also need help with spelling and the dumb phone doesn’t do that.

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 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 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.
