[quote] the author of Revelations had been forced to flee his home by the Romans, and would have recently seen a wave of state-sanctioned violence and hostility against (what we would now call) Christians, also at the hands of the Romans. In charge of both these catastrophes was the Emperor Nero, who, despite being dead by the time Revelations was written, many people were convinced was about to come back at any time, like a kind of evil Ancient Elvis. Could the “Beast” be referring to Nero?

Well guess what: “Caesar Nero” translated into Hebrew is נרון קיסר – or, to spell it out letter-by-letter, nun-resh-vav-nun qof-samek-resh. Each of these letters has a value in Hebrew numerals:
Nun-resh-vav-nun qof-samek-resh becomes 50+200+6+50+100+60+200.
If we add up the values of the letters in “Caesar Nero,” then, we get … that’s right: 666.

“John would have wanted his readers to understand that,” Pagels explained. “That number, which is couched in a mysterious code, would be understood to his readers as the name of one of those emperors who destroyed his people.”

So not a real beast; not the antichrist; just a particularly anti-Christian Emperor who had really screwed over the writer of Revelations – and who apparently might come back at any moment, so you’d better not piss him off.

“No one wants to write a book under imperial persecutions saying, 'The root of all evil is Nero Caesar,'” added Watts in the Numberphile video. “You're not going to spell that out.”

Antichrist has been around since the garden of Eden. It is a spirit of Satan's deception. And it takes the form of a man from time to time, but the entire world has not been deceived as much until the last antichrist will take a seat in the Holy place, you'll see.
@Carazaa
Antichrist Donald J Trump deceived tens of millions of you believers, so sad.

@ElwoodBlues True, He never deceived true Christiansthough because we listen to the Holy Spirit. God said to people who were sinning and didn't want God but an ungodly leader [b]" Hosea 13:11 In my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath I took him away.[/b]

@SpiritualMan every word in the Bible is for humanity to learn from and that tells of Jesus and the time of the end and why Jesus came to save us.

@SpiritualMan don’t twist words what I actually said is that I believe Jesus will return by 2036 and probably before 2028, that’s what I said!

@SpiritualMan Jesus said he would come back in the clouds as he went up. And he also said, "this day will not overcome you like a thief" He gave us very specific signs of the end generation, and we can see those signs now!

@ElwoodBlues Trump was definitely not Antichrist
@Baremine Trump is a lying fornicating greedy prideful lazy envious glutton. In other words, Trump is a SHOWCASE of deadly sins.

Do you have any evidence of ANY Christian virtues in Trump?

@SpiritualMan Past sins??? He's still a greedy prideful lazy envious glutton, and he still cheats at golf! If he's not fornicating whores it's only because he was locked down in the White House.

And as far as LYING goes, Trump made 30,573 lies & false claims as president https://news.yahoo.com/trump-made-30-573-false-205400099.html
We've NEVER seen a liar like Trump in pubic office. NEVER!

[b] God gives me wisdom,[/b] not the news. I do not listen to "Christian" news but to many unbiased news sources from many different countries to get accurate info. You are deceived by Satan big time!

[b]The Day of the Lord - 2 Peter 3[/b]
3 Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

3 Above all, you must understand that[b] in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? [/b]Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: [b]With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.[/b] Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a]

11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.

14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

@Carazaa Jesus can't come a second time until the antichrist is actually revealed (according to Revelations) during the tribulation period. Also, part of the tribulation period is "the Mark of the Beast" being distributed. Tribulation has not happened yet. The Anti-Christ has not shown yet. Trump is a jerk, but he is far from the Anti-Christ rofl
