[Cronos]

In Apocalypse 13:7, the Beast is said to “make war with the saints and to overcome them.” Apocalypse 13:5 says that the beast would conduct such blasphemous warfare for a specific period of time: 42 months. The Neronic persecution was instituted in 64 AD and lasted until his death in June 68 AD, which is three and a half years, or 42 months! Nero fits the bill for the role of the beast!

Apocalypse 13:10 and 14 says the Beast not only slays by the sword, but ultimately is to die of a sword wound. Do you know how Nero died? According to Suetonius, he “drove a dagger into his throat, aided by Epaphroditus, his private secretary” (ch.49). Nero killed with the sword and was killed by the sword. That Nero did, in fact, kill by the sword is a well-attested fact. Paul, for example, is said to have died under Nero by decapitation by means of the sword. Tertullian credits “Nero’s cruel sword” as providing the martyr’s blood as seed for the church. He urges his Roman readers to “Consult your histories; you will there find that Nero was the first who assailed with the imperial sword the Christian sect.”

[Just mythoughts]

Nero was not who tempted Christ ... You know the Old Serpent ... Remember the temple dedicated to the Serpent right there in the bowels of the Vatican??? Nero was never tempting to the ‘whole’ world and Nero never snapped his fingers and made lightening snap... in front of anyone. The ‘anti-Christ’ is the entity not flesh never will be flesh fake Jesus .. Paul even quoted IKings 19:18 Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel-all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”

Romans 11, written by Paul from the tribe of Benjamin ... verse 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men,
who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

Nero was never called Baal... Some people being blinded already bend a knee to Baal.
