PROOF #2.
Nero Caesar (ad37-68), was the emperor of ancient Rome, when:
Paul, Saint (circa ad3-62),
Apostle Paul wrote this letter in II Thessalonians 2:3
“Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day
will not come unless the falling away comes first,
and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.”
John the Evangelist (?-ad 101),
Take note what Apostle John wrote in Revelation
“There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and
the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must
continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not,
is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and
is going to perdition.
Revelation 17:10-11
…during a period of persecution of Christians by the Romans, John was banished to Pátmos, where he is believed to have written the Apocalypse, or Book of Revelation.

PROOF # 3.
Revelation 13:10 relates to Nero’s death. Nero killed with the sword would die by a sword that he put in his own throat June 9, 68 (Suetonius Nero 49; Gentry, 1989b, 63). The death of Nero Caesar meant the end of the Julio-Claudian line of Emperors. (http://bibleandscience.com/revelation.htm)
“He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
Revelation 13:10
PROOF # 4.
In ancient times letters were used as numbers. For example A=1, B=2, C=3 and so forth. So names had a certain numerical value. The Hebrew spelling of Nero Caesar (Neron Kaiser) adds up to exactly 666. There is a textual variant in Revelation 13:18 with the number 616 which is probably the Latin equivalent of Nero Caesar. (http://bibleandscience.com/revelation.htm)
Revelation 13:18
“Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666.”
“Nero Caesar” transliterated into the Hebrew from the Greek (Neron Kaiser) adds up to exactly 666 in Hebrew.
NERON KAISER is the Greek equivalent for NERO CAESAR and its Hebrew equivalent is NRWNQSR which has a numerical value which totals to 666, the number of the “beast” that has been described in Revelation 13:18.
N = 50
R = 200
W= 6
N = 50
Q =100
S = 60
R =200
Total=666
PROOF # 5. After Nero Caesar killed himself, Galba was proclaimed as the next emperor of Rome by the senate. Galba reigned as an emperor for only seven (7) months.
“There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and
the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must
continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not,
is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and
is going to perdition.
Revelation 17:10-11
