A Julian Calendar
A Hijri marked the beginning of Islam in 622 of the Gregorian calendar which didn’t start until 1582. Before that, the Julian calendar was in effect. The common year, 44 BC, has the Hijri in 666 of the Julian calendar. Most bible translations calculate this number. A sea of glass mingled with fire is an interesting fit.

A history of Rome by Gibbon. Go ahead, pick an Islamic calendar converter and put 46 in it. You get 666. 46 is the number Gibbon used. 46 years after the Hijri year Constantinople was attacked. A date is a mark. Gibbon notes the problems with dates. There are other ways to get to 666. Stay tuned.

A Year
A date, a beginning, a start, a mark. Nearly every product sold today has a date marking its beginning. The word “number” in Daniel refers to years. Historians are good at ignoring what may have happened in the year 666 but we do know Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople about that time.

A Great Sultan
A fit with Daniel. Saladin came out of the Fatimid Caliphate, the fourth of ten Islamic dynasties, and would start the fifth, the Ayyubid dynasty. We also have the Battle of the Horns of Hama and the Battle of the Horns of Hattin. Saladin was involved in both of them. He not only beat the crusaders, he beat Richard the Lionheart. It’s a fit.

A Fit with Daniel 11
a fit with the Apocalypse and Matthew:
Mohammed, the king of south
Fatimah, his daughter
Muawiyah, his commander, the king of the north
Abd Allah ibn Mas’ada al-Fazari, a raiser of taxes
Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, placed the abomination that maketh desolate
What is in the holy place now?

A Prophecy
A number to connect them. Can’t trust anyone’s interpretation. Only numbers and history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy. There are 60 different English translations of the bible but they all agree on numbers like a thousand years. They also agree on “ten horns” and “seven heads”. Numbers and history won’t mislead you like interpretation.
A Fit with Numbers
a thousand year empire starting with the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire and ending with the tenth dynasty of Islam. The first beast, Rome, whose deadly wound was healed was replaced by the second beast Islam. The Byzantine Empire fits with all the numbers you can trust. You can’t trust interpretation.

A Mystery
a misinterpretation. Even Peter knew he was in Babylon. Some are still looking for his bones south of Baghdad. That is the real mystery but Rome having seven hills was never a mystery. The seven hills of Constantinople is still a mystery and likely to remain so. It will never fit with their narrative.

A Whore
a fit with history. Constantinople is Babylon the Great and Islam is the beast that hated the whore. It is a mystery and likely to remain so but the fit with history cannot be denied. It is fallen, is fallen, and can be found no more at all. It had merchants. It has many waters. It has seven mountains. No other city fits like Constantinople.

A Beast
a horn that will hate the whore. Constantinople fell to the tenth dynasty of Islam. Ten is just a number but it fits. So does seven. Rome had seven dynasties. Rome and Islam are the two beasts of the Apocalypse and the last two beasts of Daniel. Not proof but you can’t ignore the numbers that fit.
