A Sea Of Glass Mingled With Fire
A Greek fire was used and “the Sea of Marmara was like a sheet of glass”, The year was 666 and it was the first siege of Constantinople. It was a “victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name”. A fulfillment of prophecy in history.
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 Beginning
A product date. An origin. “And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark”. We look for the date on everything we buy today. So what began in the year 666? Of what calendar? Try the Julian calendar using 44 BC. 622 CE is the beginning of Islam and that would be 666 of the Julian calendar.
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.

A Calendar Conversion
A number from Gibbon. “Forty-six years after the flight of Mahomet from Mecca, his disciples appeared in arms under the walls of Constantinople.” Put 46 in an Islamic Calendar converter and you get 666. Where did Gibbon get this number 46? An easier calculation is adding 44 BC to 622 CE, the Hijrah, in the Julian calendar and you get 666.
A Prophecy
A chance to be blessed. Seven chances to be blessed in the Apocalypse. This book can change your life. These are difficult times. Understanding this book is difficult. It has been hijacked by many to promote their agenda. Don’t give up. Blessed are those who overcometh, readeth, watcheth, and keepeth. There is hope.

A Calendar
A calculation according to 29 versions of the bible. Fifteen versions have count. A calculation is required to convert a date from one calendar to another. We have at least three calendars to consider. Julian 44 BC. Islamic 622 CE. Gregorian 1582 CE. Lots to consider when considering the year 666. A mark. A beginning.
A Reason to Live
A meaning for life. A test of wills. Don’t bury your talent. Learn what you can. Teach what you can. You will need help. Ask for it. Seek the truth. You will find it. Knock and it will be open unto you. The Truth will not only set you free, It will make you happy. It will help you pass the final test. We are being tested. You may not find that word in your bible.

A Clue From Daniel 9:2
A search for the word “number” suggests years in Daniel. So what happened in the year 666? Nothing. History does have the first siege of Constantinople by the Arabs about that time. It was not the first major battle between the Christians and the Muslims. Gibbon notes his problem with the dates and in a way suggests 668.
A Search for Truth
A “love of truth seeks a holy leisure“, a Thomas quote of Augustine. Few have the time to devote to pure research and those who do need to share what they have learned. The internet makes this possible. Knowledge shall be increased. Search engines allow others to find what has been discovered.
