A Fulfillment of Prophecy
a victory over the beast. Constantinople used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara, like a sheet of glass, and the year was 666. The problem with dates was noted by Gibbon. His 46 years gets you 668 but put it in an Islamic calendar converter, a calculation, and you will get exactly 666. An amazing fit with Revelation 15:2.

a problem with dates. Gibbon gets real close. Go ahead, pick an Islamic calendar converter and put 46 in it. You get 666. 46 is the number Gibbon used. 46 years after the Hijri year Constantinople was attacked. A date is a mark. Gibbon notes the problems with dates.

places the attack on Constantinople. “Forty-six years after the flight of Mahomet from Mecca, his disciples appeared in arms under the walls of Constantinople.” Put 46 into an Islamic calendar converter and you get 666. It is the mark of the beast. The number of his name.
A Year
with no history but everyone knew Constantinople was the target of the Arabs. They were ready to attack and the Christians were ready to defend themselves. In addition to the walls, they had Greek fire. Some historians could not be trusted with dates according to Gibbon. This was the first siege of Constantinople by the Arabs.
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.
Watch for more pieces that fit. Blessed is the one who looks.
