A Necessary Ingredient
and many translators don’t have it. – 666 – You should be able to tell the difference between count and calculate. There is also a difference between its and his. 15 count 666 and 27 calculate it. 20 have its number and 29 have his number. The beast is an it started by him and you calculate his number.

A Year
– a date – a beginning – a mark – Nearly every product sold has this mark. A date. So what happened in the year 666? That depends on the calendar being used. Julian? Gregorian? Islamic? It also depends on the translation or version of the bible used. Do you count the number or calculate it? Is the number his or its? It’s complicated.

A Big Number
and a good place to start. There is only one empire that lasted a thousand years and it was a Christian empire where they reigned with Christ. They were gathered in His name so they were with Christ and those who were reigning reigned with Christ. It was the Byzantine Empire and it can be connected to another big number. – 666 –

with Revelation 15:2. Constantinople used Greek fire to defeat Islam and the year was 666. The Sea of Marmara was like a sea of glass. “the Sea of Marmara was like a sheet of glass” See what Gibbon has to say about the date 666.
A Missing Date
in history. Nothing happened. So what was going on just before or after that date? Gibbon has something in 668 but it requires a calculation. “Forty-six years after the flight of Mahomet from Mecca, his disciples appeared in arms under the walls of Constantinople.” His 46 years is interesting. If you put 46 in an Islamic calendar converter, you get 666.

A Number
a mark, a start, a beginning, a date, a year. Nearly every product sold today has a mark which is the date of its origin. Number in Daniel refers to years. So what happened in the year 666?

but which one applies? The Gregorian started in 1582. The Julian started in 44 BC. The Islamic started in 622, the year of the Hegira, 666 of the Julian calendar.

with dates and calendars. He writes, “Forty-six years after the flight of Mahomet from Mecca, his disciples appeared in arms under the walls of Constantinople.” That would be 668. “In this inquiry I shall unfold the events that rescued our ancestors of Britain, and our neighbours of Gaul, from the civil and religious yoke of the Koran;” Gibbon introduces the threat of Islam. His 46 years become very interesting when you consider other calendars.

A Year
nothing happened. One historian gets close and the other gets it on the money but both require a calculation. Norwich in his book “Byzantium” has “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.” Gibbon gets close with 668 but his account turns out to be more interesting. We shall see.
