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 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? Which calendar do you use? The Julian calendar that started in 44 BC? 622 of the Gregorian calendar would be 666 of the Julian calendar and the beginning of the Islamic calendar, the Hegira

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. There is an Islamic calendar calculator and you get 666 if you enter 46. Gibbon has Islam attacking Constantinople 46 years after the Hegira. Does it really fit?

A Problem
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.

that can helps us with the number 666. In Daniel 9:2 the word number refers to years. John knows Daniel and this might be the clue we need. So lets see if it fits. What happened in the year 666? What do the historians say?

A Date
was mentioned by Edward Gibbon. He has it 46 “years after the flight of Mahomet from Mecca, his disciples appeared in arms under the walls of Constantinople”. If he had an Islamic calendar calculator, he would have gotten 666. If he had used 44 BC and the Julian calendar for the Hegira, he would have gotten 666. It fits.

with Greek fire. The Sea of Marmara was like a sheet of glass The year was 666. The First Arab Siege of Constantinople. Greek fire was used on the Sea of Marmara to get the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire. Revelation 15:2 It fits.

in Daniel 9:2 referred to years. So what happened in the year 666? It didn’t take long to find out Islam was getting ready to attack Constantinople in the year 666. With Islam you can check all the boxes. It had ten dynasties. Horns are dynasties. Counted by Islam. It’s a good start.

that connects all the pieces. Constantinople has it all. A thousand years, a seven headed beast that was, a ten horned beast that was yet to come, an attack in the year 666, and all the characteristics of Babylon the Great.
