A Christian Empire
A reign with Christ. The Byzantine Empire was a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years when they reigned with Christ. Does it fit with the other numbers: 666, ten horns, and seven heads? The number 666 is next. Daniel is a good place to look for clues. Does he know numbers?

A Prophecy Fulfilled
A sea of glass. They used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara that was like a sheet of glass to defeat the attack of Islamic attackers. The city was Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years. The year was 666. The Byzantine Empire survived this and many other sieges.

A Date
A number. 666 Historians ignore that year but it is very clear Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople. Gibbon notes the problem with dates and his 46 years reference puts it as close as 668. Putting 46 in an Islamic calendar converter results in 666. That is a calculation and not a count.

A Dynasty
A number seven connecting history with the fulfillment of prophecy. Historians have identified the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. This gives us the beast that was, and is not, and yet is when you combine it with the ten dynasties of Islam. This is in addition to the numbers 1000 and 666 that have already been shown to fit.

A Victory Over the Beast
A fit with Revelation 15:2. Greek fire was used to defeat the Islamic attackers and the Sea of Marmara was like a sheet of glass. The year was 666 based on Gibbon’s 46 years. Put 46 in an Islamic calendar converter and you get 666. It’s a calculation. How do you count a number?

A Date
A clue from Daniel 9:2 where number refers to years. History shows Islam getting ready to attack Constantinople in the year 666. Based on 44 BC, 666 in the Julian calendar is 622 in the Gregorian calendar (started in 1582) and the beginning of the Islamic calendar. Gibbon also had a problem with dates.

A Thousand Years
A place to start. There is only one thousand year empire and it was a Christian one where they reigned with Christ. The Byzantine Empire. This is where you start. Will it fit with the other numbers: 666, ten horns, seven heads, and five are fallen???? The “ten horns” connect Daniel and the word number.
