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 Mark
A beginning. A date is the most common mark on any product sold today. Consider 666 as a mark or a date. What happened in that year? What calendar? The Gregorian started in 1582 or the Julian starting at 44 BC or the Islamic calendar starting in 622? Consider them all.

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 yearsconv. 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.

A Number
A connection with prophecy. Different interpretations have led to over 60 different English bible translations. They all seem to agree on numbers. They all agree on a thousand years, 666, ten horns, seven heads, and five are fallen. Numbers can be used to connect history with prophecy which is the only way to verify the fulfillment of prophecy.

A Sea of Marmara
A Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara, which was like a sheet of glass is a good fit with “a sea of glass mingled with fire”. Constantinople used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara against the Islamic attack. The year was 666. Historians will never agree on this date but Gibbon got real close to it.

A Start
A beginning. A Date. A year. Nearly every product sold today has a date. Its origin. On your mark, get set, go. A number to calculate or count. It must have meaning. A number has no meaning unless it is attached to something like a calendar. Which calendar? We have so many to choose from. Where do you begin? With history.
