A Connection With Daniel
A different beast in common with John. The “ten horns” ties it all together. They “shall hate the whore” and John provides enough clues to identify Babylon the Great. Islam can identify ten dynasties. Constantinople was attacked by the second one in 666 and fell to the tenth one in 1453.
A Fit With History
A fulfillment of prophecy must include all the numbers. The Byzantine empire has them all. A thousand years, 666, ten horns, seven heads, five are fallen, four horsemen, three unclean spirits, and two witnesses. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy and only numbers can reliably connect them.
A Beginning
A start. A date code is the most common mark on a product and “no man might buy or sell” without it. What started in 666? What calendar? 44 BC marked the beginning of the Julian calendar. 622 of the Gregorian calendar would be 666 of the Julian calendar. It marked the beginning of Islam.
A Sea Of Glass Mingled With Fire
A Greek fire was used on the Sea of Marmara that was like a sheet of glass to defeat the disciples of Mahomet. This passage, Revelation 15:2, is about the first siege of Constantinople. It’s about the beast, its mark, its image, its number and the sea of glass.
A Historian Named Gibbon
A problem with dates. Gibbon gets close also with a calculation. “Forty-six years after the flight of Mahomet from Mecca, his disciples appeared in arms under the walls of Constantinople.” 622 is the beginning Islam. 668 is close but if you put 46 in an Islamic calendar converter, you get 666.
A Year In History
A historian named John Julius Norwich gets 666 in his book “Byzantium” with a calculation. “The ensuing strife continued until 661, when Ali’s own assassination left Muawiya supreme. For the next five years the Muslim world would be in ferment – and Byzantium could breath again.”
A Recognition Of Prophecy In History
A reliable connection. Just as years are attached to the number thousand we look for what is attached to each number. If you search Daniel for the word number, you will see that it is also attached to years. What happened in the year 666 is a reasonable question.
A Prophecy Fulfilled In History
A connection with numbers. There is only one empire that lasted a thousand years and it was a Christian empire where they “reigned with Christ”. You won’t find “Reign of Christ” in the bible. Only on the internet. Look for 666, ten horns, and seven heads.
A Greek Fire
A significant passage in the Apocalypse. In defense of Constantinople they used Greek Fire on the Sea of Marmara which was like a sheet of glass and the year was 666. A sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name. Islam.

A Calendar
A date, a mark, a beginning. A common year 44 BC. The Julian calendar preceded the Gregorian calendar which didn’t start until 1582. The Islamic calendar started in 622 CE and that would be 666 of the Julian calendar which was in effect at that time. The Hegira marks the beginning of Islam.
