a witness

A Christian Empire 

and there were two of them.  Two witnesses.  One lasted a thousand years.  The Byzantine Empire.  The other was the Holy Roman Empire.  The state is the olive tree and the church is the candlestick.  Just another fit.  

Watch for more pieces that fit.  Blessed is the one who looks.

start with

A Number 

as big as one thousand.  There is really only one.  The Byzantine Empire was a Christian empire where they reigned with Christ for a thousand years.   It is easy to find and hard to ignore.  What can we learn about this bottomless pit?  Where can it be found?

A Fit 

but not proof.  While history is the only way to demonstrate the fulfillment of prophecy, it takes many pieces to fit in order to be sure you are on the right track.  You can trust numbers which do not require interpretation but you need a number of pieces to fit.  So start with the big pieces.  They are the hardest to fit.  Like a thousand years.  A big fit.

the biggest number

A Thousand Years 

is where you start.  It is not where I started.  I just assumed it didn’t exist.  So I started with 666 like everyone else and it led me to the thousand years.  How?  I searched Daniel for the word number and it referred to years.  That led to Constantinople, a city with seven hills, and the capital of a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years.  Really?  Am I the first one to stumble across this?
