Ummm. The problem about this whole thing is that this guy takes all that information out of context. Without the rest of the content of revelation explained to fit this guy’s totally ridiculous claim (The mark for example, all the water turning to blood, the moon turning blood red, the sun being black as sack cloth, the stars falling from the heavens, 1/3rd of all the water on Earth turned bitter, 1/3rd of all the greenery on Earth destroyed, talk of asteroid or meteors hitting Earth a few times, all the sea life killed, etc.) this is meaningless and the beast cannot be Nero because none of those things written in parentheses have never happened, and certainly did not happen during or near Nero’s reign nor the reign of the Roman empire, or any time in recorded human history.
So I deem this “theory” HOAX.
If this is the thousand years after the tribulation of AD 70, then satan must be on a very long chain from a unlocked abyss and Jesus should be on the Throne in Jerusalem.
I believe that the Beast of Revelations is a reference to an evil state and not to any one “Antichrist” person. As close as we get to the Antichrist is the “man of sin” but I think the key is that an evil state ruled by evil men comes into existence in the last days, that a spirit of antichrist prevails, and that three forces (beast, dragon, false prophet) combine their hatred of God in one final assault.
I have also come to the conclusion that the prophecies manage to describe two different end times, those which are separated by the “thousand years” of the Kingdom, and that this may all be allegorical so that we may in fact be able to view the situation as follows —
First, we have already seen the first end time, prophecy may have been fulfilled by the events of the second world war. The “thousand year kingdom” may turn out to be a reference to the phase of modern times that led to the current “little season” in which we see a renewed attack of evil forces on the Kingdom, at the present time only partially realized.
This second end time will not wait a thousand years, that is perhaps a reference to the millenium or just to the observation that a thousand years is like a day in the Lord’s timetable.
This would explain why such massive and perhaps obvious parallels of the second world war were not in fact followed by the second coming as most would understand that — we have had the spiritual version of the second coming and now we await the actual final dispensation.
You could check some dates in the second world war to see that periods of the required length of time were quite evident. In particular, it was just about 1,335 days from the onset of America’s declaration of war to the end of the war in the Pacific. Shortly before that, events at about 1,260 and 1,290 days can be linked to the required imagery. Every other image of the Revelation timetable is fairly easy to link to the history of various powers involved in the Second World War.
My belief then is that much of the prophecy has already been fulfilled and that only a few sections more specific to the “little season” require completion. America’s role in this prophecy is not peripheral and in fact seems to validate the Mormon concept of a dispensation of the Kingdom on the land mass of the United States although perhaps not exactly as they understand that location. I know that similar beliefs are held by non-Mormon evangelical Christians.
Now that Donald Trump is president, perhaps the conditions are met for all things to be brought to completion. It may be that Obama was the “man of sin” and that we are even now right at the predicted time when sudden changes for the better will begin to unfold.
The partial nature of the millennial kingdom suggests that the dispensation may be the creation of a “more perfect union” or political order on the earth following the total defeat of last-gasp beast, dragon and false prophet giving it the old college try for one final time. This is perhaps also the reason why the demons are pouring out of the abyss at this very time (sure you noticed that).
Freedom Star, he did not take it out of context, but provided the context. However, the article is too short to list the entire context. See my other articles that give more of the context that you demand:

“ the moon turning blood red, the sun being black as sack cloth, the stars falling from the heavens...”
All the result of a nuclear war.
The result of the suspended debris in the atmosphere,much like a forest fire causes similar appearance of the sun and moon.
Yes this thread is nonsense, Biblically speaking.
