A Link
to interpreting what has been prophesied. Recognizing the fulfillment of prophecy in history depends on numbers. Your interpretation cannot be trusted. Private interpretation has given us at least 59 different English translations of the bible. One of the few things they all agree on is numbers. You don’t have to interpret them.

A Suffering Church
needs you to stay and fight. That was mentioned seven times in the letter. Maybe it should have been the title. She is your Church and you must fight for her. Infiltrated and corrupted from within. Stay and pray is not enough. Silence is not an option. Speak out. Loudly.
A Connection
between Daniel and John. A common beast. Daniel knows beasts and John knows Daniel. John’s beast is like a leopard, a bear, and a lion. They all had something in common. Like the temple. The first destroyed the first temple. The second desecrated the second. The third destroyed the second. The fourth is preventing the third. Babylon, Greece, Rome, and Islam.

A Suffering Church
mentions clericalism. In short the priests can’t be any better than the laity. Really? We can’t find men who are holier than the laity? The letter also mentions homosexual. In short a disorder. Not a good place to start when looking for those who are holier. The last three popes have directed that they should not be ordained. The bishops continue to ignore these directives. They are also ignoring the teachings of the Church.
A Beast
having seven heads and ten horns. This was the Roman Empire when Constantine moved the capital to Constantinople. The beast that was and is not was replaced by the beast with ten horns. They shall hate the whore. Constantinople fell to the tenth dynasty of Islam after a thousand year reign.

A Historian
places the attack on Constantinople. “Forty-six years after the flight of Mahomet from Mecca, his disciples appeared in arms under the walls of Constantinople.” Put 46 into an Islamic calendar converter and you get 666. It is the mark of the beast. The number of his name.
A Sheet Of Glass
on a calm day was where Greek Fire was used by Constantinople to defeat the attackers. The Sea of Marmara was like a sheet of glass. The year was 666. It was a sea of glass mingled with fire and a victory of the beast, his number, image, and number.

A Year
with no history but everyone knew Constantinople was the target of the Arabs. They were ready to attack and the Christians were ready to defend themselves. In addition to the walls, they had Greek fire. Some historians could not be trusted with dates according to Gibbon. This was the first siege of Constantinople by the Arabs.
A Yoke
according to Gibbon who understood the threat of Islam. He also understood dates and a way to get to 666. He knew the significance of Greek Fire. Was he aware of Revelation 15:2? Did he know about the Sea of Marmara on a calm day? A sea of glass mingled with fire.
