A Story Well Told
A memory of the past. “Do this in remembrance of me”. Historians and artists remind us of the past. “Jesus Christ Superstar” does that. “To live in the hearts we leave behind is not to die”, the hope of eternal life, is “the opium of the people” according to Marx, the rider of a black horse, who is the father of Communism from the Black Sea.
A Reliable Connection
A number or color that doesn’t need interpretation. Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy and only numbers and colors can reliably connect them. Why is this important? We need hope for the future which only prophets can reveal. John, our “companion in tribulation”, reveals God’s plan for us. A reason to believe.
A Sword to Kill
A different beast like no other. Christians are still being killed by Muslims. Nigeria is not an exception. The history of Islam is a continuous jihad against Christianity and other religions. It is not a religion of peace and there is no reason to believe this will change. They will soon dominate Europe.

A Connection with Daniel
A fit with history. Both John and Daniel have a beast with “ten horns”. Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years, fell to the Ottomans, the tenth dynasty of Islam. Counted by Islamicart.com but no longer active.

A Prophecy Fulfilled
A sea of glass. They used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara that was like a sheet of glass to defeat the Islamic attackers. The city was Constantinople, the capital of a Christian empire that would last a thousand years. The year was 666. The Byzantine Empire survived this and many other sieges.

A Mystery And Likely To Remain So
A perfect fit in history. Constantinople. No other city has all these characteristics: many waters 17:1, mystery 17:5, seven hills 17:9, merchants 18:11, is fallen, is fallen 18:2, and can be found no more at all 18:21. Constantinople was the capital of a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years.
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 Beast With Ten Horns At The End
A 666 number to mark its beginning. The great city of Constantinople is also a perfect fit for Babylon the Great. The seven dynasties of the Roman empire started the Byzantine empire and the tenth dynasty of Islam ended it. All of this can be found in history but the great city can be found no more at all.
A Faith That Gives Hope
A freedom to believe and speak. Be not afraid. Prophecy revealed in history is more comforting than what might be promised for the future. It’s there. You just have to look for it with numbers and colors which can confirm the connection between prophecy and its fulfillment in history. You have to believe.
A Lack Of Definition
A license for interpretation. Prophecy has been hijacked by changing the meaning of words and the future is the only place for it. The Word of God is at the mercy of translators. Even the numbers and colors that they agree on have been symbolized thus allowing many different interpretations.
