juniusrachus, your view on Revelation is not the only view being taught by Christians.
1 John 2:18
18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour. NAS
Just because Nero's name and
title equal 666 does not make him the antichrist of Revelation. Since you view Ceasar Nero as the antichrist of Revelation, how did Nero fulfill this prophecy?
Rev 13:11-14
11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed. 13 And he performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life. NAS
Nero was not Emperor of the whole world, so this single fact eliminates Nero as the antichrist of Revelation.
