A Number
in the book of Daniel. A date is the most common mark there is. It is on most every product that you might buy or sell. It is the origin of the product. The starting point. The originator of the Julian calendar was assassinated 44 BC. The Islamic calendar started in 622. The mark of Islam is 666 in the Julian calendar.
A Key
to understanding the Apocalypse. Daniel knows beasts. John knows Daniel. Your interpretation of what John wrote should be consistent with what Daniel wrote. Daniel understood by books the number of the years. Bible translators agree on numbers. No interpretation necessary. A good place to start. Start with big numbers.

according to Newton. What is your interpretation based on? The bible? Which translation? There are 59 different English translations plus revisions. They don’t agree. The differences are significant. Many are uncomfortable with the word interpretation because somehow they understand the original intent of the written word. Who or what can you believe?
A Number
or I should say the word number. Found it in Daniel and it referred to years. I then searched history to find out what happened in the year 666. Nothing. I did find Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years where they reigned with Christ. Not a bad start.
A Necessary Ingredient
to verify the fulfillment of prophecy. Your interpretation can prevent you from identifying the historical events that have been prophesied. Numbers do not require interpretation. All bible translations agree on numbers and colors. That is where you need to start.
