A Black Sea –
A pair of balances in his hand. Communism from the Black Sea, a great threat to religion, was started by Marx, the rider of the black horse. Marxism is still a major threat to freedom. It has found its way inside the Church. Call it climate change. Call it racism. It is a lie. It must be repeated. It must block the truth. Call that censorism.

A Julian Calendar –
A beginning in 44 BC. 622 in the Gregorian calendar, which began in 1582, was the beginning of the Islamic calendar. 666 in the Julian calendar marked the start of Islam. A number in Daniel 9:2 refers to the number of years. That is what Daniel understood by books. A calendar conversion requires a calculation.

A Red Sea –
A great sword and power to take peace from the earth. Mohammed, the antichrist and the father of the second beast from the Red Sea is the rider of the red horse. History records the wars against the saints. The ten horns are the ten Islamic dynasties. The ten horns also connect Daniel.

A Historian –
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. More versions calculate the number 666.

A White Horse –
A bow in the hand of the rider. A covenant with God not unlike the bow in Genesis 9:13. Constantine was from the Aegean or Mediterranean aka the white sea by the Turks and he made the world safe for Christians. The color of the sea and the color of the horse is telling, especially with the Red Sea and the Black Sea.

A Date –
A year. A mark. A beginning. On your mark, get set, go. A date is the most common mark there is. Nearly all products have it. 666 marks the beginning of Islam. It also marks the attack on Constantinople. Revelation 15:2 ties Greek fire, the Sea of Marmara, and the year Islam attacked Constantinople. – 666 – Really.

A Beast That Was Not –
A beast that is yet to come. From a Christian point of view, the Roman Empire with seven dynasties was a beast until Constantine made the world safe for them. It wasn’t long before a different kind of beast came along to take peace from the world. Islam with ten dynasties. A beast that was diverse from all the others.

A Big Part –
A key to understanding the Apocalypse. They reigned with Christ a thousand years. The Byzantine Empire has all the pieces. Babylon the Great. Seven Heads. Ten Horns. Two Beasts. All the pieces fit. The numbers fit. They fit with Daniel. This is where you start.

A Recapitulation –
A vision not in chronological order. In chapter 9 and 11 we have the beast coming out of the “bottomless pit” and in chapter 20 the beast is being cast into it. Victorinus was the first to suggest this theory of recapitulation. The bottomless pit is also consistent with the beast that was, is not, and yet is. The two beasts are really the same.
