A Sea
A location and a clue in identifying the four horsemen. The Red Sea and the Black Sea suggest Mohammed, who takes peace from the earth, and Marx who is the father of communism. The White Sea doesn’t help unless you consider the Mediterranean as the white sea and the bow as a rainbow.

A Great City
A fit with Babylon the Great. Constantinople is fallen, is fallen, and can be found no more at all. This is a mystery and likely to remain so. It had seven mountains, many waters, and many merchants. Constantinople is the only city with all these characteristics. Why it is being ignored is definitely a mystery.

A Mark
A bible passage fulfilled. A sea of glass mingled with fire. They used Greek fire on the Sea of Marmara, which was like a sheet of glass, and the year was 666. Historians stay away from the year 666 but there is no doubt as to what was going on at that time. Islam was attacking Constantinople.

A Year 666
A mark, a beginning, a Julian calendar starting in 44 BC. 622 of the Gregorian calendar, starting in 1582, marked the beginning of Islam. The Hegira marked the beginning of the Islamic calendar. 666 also marked the beginning of the attack on Constantinople if we look at Gibbon and his history.

A Thousand Years
A beast at the end. The Byzantine Empire was preceded by the Roman Empire and ended by the Ottoman Empire, the tenth dynasty of Islam. The ten horns that shall hate the whore. The seven heads are the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. Another fit. What about the number 666? Will that fit?

A Measure Of The Temple
A witness and a testimony. It is the job of the laity to measure the Church and state. And to do something about it. Praying is not enough. Voting is not enough. Testify. Speak the truth. Defend the teachings of the Church. Defend life, marriage, and the family. It’s your job.
A Temple
A desolation. The abomination of desolation, spoken of by Jesus, leads us to the abomination in Daniel. They shall take away the daily sacrifice. That’s the Temple. The first one destroyed by Babylon. The second desecrated by Greece and destroyed by Rome. Islam is preventing the third. That is what makes a beast a beast.

A Great Empire
A reign with Christ. The Byzantine Empire lasted a thousand years. The Holy Roman Empire is the other witness where the Church and state worked together. The two olive trees are the two states being led by the candlestick which represents the light of the Church. The laity must restore the light.
A Christian Empire
A reign with Christ. The Byzantine Empire was a Christian empire that lasted a thousand years. They reigned with Christ. This is where to start. Will the other numbers fit? 666, ten, seven. Daniel can help us with “ten horns”. The fourth beast of Daniel is the second beast of John. What do we know about beasts?

A Witness Times Two
A candlestick and olive tree. Two olive trees lead us to Zerubbabel who is always associated with Joshua and found in Zechariah. A governor and high priest working together to rebuild the temple. The Church should be leading the state but today it is the other way around. Only the laity can restore the Church.
