“Correction. There has never been a man in the history of the world that ruled the entire world and forced everyone on earth to take a number or be beheaded.”

Yes there was. His name was Nero. Read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Again, the word “world” means something different today than it did in Jesus’ time. Back then, it meant “Roman Empire.”

The Bible makes it quite clear that no man will be able to buy or sell without the mark of the beast, either on their right hand or on their head. That means EVERY person would have said mark. Nero failed to do that.

Nero also failed to stand in the Temple and declare himself God.

These 2 points alone destroy the Nero theory.

“Nero also failed to stand in the Temple and declare himself God.

These 2 points alone destroy the Nero theory.”

I never wrote Nero was the anti-Christ. But again, show me in any of the gospels where the word “anti-Christ” is mentioned. Prove it.

You are all so confused about this, you don’t even know that the term “anti-Christ” doesn’t even refer to a particular man, but a spirit that was in the world in John’s day!

Get it? Anyone who denies that Christ has come “in the flesh” is “anti-Christ!”

So again, show me where this individual is ever spoken of in ANY of the gospels!
