Gibbon has

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.

666

A Year 

nothing happened.  One historian gets close and the other gets it on the money but both require a calculation.  Norwich in his book “Byzantium” has “The ensuing strife continued until 661, when Ali’s own assassination left Muawiya supreme.  For the next five years the Muslim world would be in ferment – and Byzantium could breath again.”  Gibbon gets close with 668 but his account turns out to be more interesting.  We shall see.

in Daniel

A Number 

that can helps us with the number 666.  In Daniel 9:2 the word number refers to years.  John knows Daniel and this might be the clue we need.  So lets see if it fits.  What happened in the year 666?  What do the historians say?

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?

numbers

A Significant Case 

in that they don’t require interpretation. Numbers can be translated precisely. There is one notable exception. Some translator at some point in time decided that for some reason 616 made more sense than 666.  Just think about that for a moment.  This is not the first time or the only time some translator decided what made more sense.  Who can you trust?  What can you trust?

the four beasts

A Temple 

will make.  Daniel 7 has four beasts.  There are so many to choose from so how did he come up with these?  How did the interpreters identify them?  Jesus gives us a great clue by mentioning the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel.  If you Google ‘abomination of desolation’, Wikipedia shows three possibilities; Antiochus IV Epiphanes in 167 BC, Titus in 70 AD, and Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan in 691 AD.  The only missing one is Babylon and the first Temple.  So we have Babylon destroying the first Temple, Greece desecrating the second, Rome destroying the second, and Islam preventing the third.  It fits.

historical events

A Fit 

with prophetic numbers and colors.  Constantine the rider of the white horse started a Christian empire that would last a thousand years with Constantinople its capital which would become Babylon the Great.  During this period the first beast with seven heads would be mortally wounded and the second beast with ten horns would be restricted so the young Church in Rome, New Jerusalem, would survive.  These pieces fit along with many others that will be named.

interpretation

A Problem 

in that it has misled everyone.  Stay with numbers, colors, Old Testament references, and historical events that seem to fit.  Only history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy and the future will never confirm your interpretation.  Only a prophet can predict the future and there is a very good chance that you are not one.

666

A Mark

 a beginning, a date stamp, which is the most common mark there is, and nearly everything made has it.  To get the date right we must look at the Proleptic Julian calendar and 44 BC.  The Gregorian calendar didn’t start until 1582.  We must also look at 622, the beginning of Islam and the beginning of the Islamic calendar.  666 of the Julian calendar marks the beginning of Islam.  The Hijra.
