Nero Caesar

'Here is wisdom: Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six' (Revelation 13:18).This full-color book examines the life of Nero Caesar, the insane, homicidal dictator of Imperial Rome. Laying blame on the Christians for the Great Fire of Rome that decimated much of the city, Nero rebuilt a large pleasure palace and a public garden where he executed multitudes of early believers in bizarre reenactments of pagan myths.As he slid deeper into madness, Nero proclaimed that he was the all-powerful king of the world - the sun god and savior who had been prophesied to arise in the East - some said from the city of Jerusalem. A little-known fact of history is that Nero launched a war against Judea because he hoped to squelch the messianic fervor in the region and move his throne to Jerusalem. //Using some recently uncovered documentation, the case for a preterist interpretation of Revelation 13:18 is succinctly laid out with the aid of visually appealing graphic illustrations. A fascinating look into a too-often neglected area of study, this book is organized in the form of questions frequently posed by critics and answered by well-attested yet seldomly taught evidences for the preterist view. //•Is Nero the Beast of Revelation? • How did Nero’s women play a role in the birthing of the Christian Church? • What were the circumstances of the Apostle Paul’s first imprisonment in Rome?• Why does the account of The Book of Acts end so abruptly after chapter 28?• Why did Nero build a nearly 100-foot tall statue of himself?• What is the evidence that 666 equals the number of Nero?• When was Paul’s second imprisonment under Nero?• Was Nero’s persecution of Christians localized or empire-wide?• Did Peter write his Second Epistle from Jerusalem or Rome?• Was the Book of Revelation written while Nero was the Emperor?• How did Nero’s persecution of the Church end?• Was Nero really that bad?• How is the 'Neron Caesar Papyrus' a key to a preterist interpretation of Revelation 13:18?• Is the correct spelling of Nero Caesar in Hebrew actually NRWN QSR?• Why would Greek-speaking Christians count the Number of the Beast in Hebrew?• What is the Mark of the Beast?• Is the Beast the same Satanic entity as the Antichrist?• What are sixteen marks of the Beast in Revelation 13 that point to Nero?• How is the Beast of Revelation portrayed in popular culture?
