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.
A Veiled Prophecy
A revelation of what is to come. Sealed by Daniel but not by John. The future is not ours to know but history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy. How? With numbers and colors. All the translators seem to agree on these words if not their meaning.
A Witness
A Church History that includes six of the seven churches that John wrote to but Eusebius never associates them with the Apocalypse. Victorinus doesn’t even mention them. Is it possible there is a version of the Apocalypse that doesn’t include the seven churches? It could be a reasonable explanation for what we are looking at.

A White Robe
A rest for a little season while more are killed for the word of God. They were killed for their testimony. History records the numbers killed due to beliefs. Nothing new here except our ability to ignore the red horse, the black horse, and the pale horse.
A Red Sea
A great sword to take peace from the earth. The rider is Mohammed the father of Islam that is the fourth beast of Daniel and the second beast of the Apocalypse. It took them 44 years to get to Constantinople where they were stopped. It took them 110 years to get to Tours, France where they were stopped. The history of Islam is all the evidence you need to show that Islam is not a religion of peace.
