    The antichrist was Nero. The number of the beast 666 (or 616) reads “Nero Caesar” in germatria.

    So yeah. The bullshit has gone and passed, just like how the second coming was supposed to happen in the lifetime of the disciples lmao.

      While the Bible and book of Revelations were a very interesting metaphysical fantasy tale, the antichrist was absolutely not Nero.

      The Book of Revelations was written 30 years after Nero’s death during the reign of Domitian, and with the book explicitly stating the antichrist would be slain by Christ during the second coming, stating the antichrist was a ruler who died 30 years ago by suicide makes no sense.

      Germatria is also an utterly useless practice since you can practically derive any value you’d like using a round about enough of a path. Which shines through with the Nero example since his official imperial name was Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, so choosing Nero Caesar makes no sense by itself since Nero demanded the usage of his full title, and anyone trying to shorten his name would use Nero Germanicus, not Nero Caesar. That’s not even mentioning that the germatrian theory uses the Greek translation of Nero’s name, not the original Latin or even a Hebrew version, which is even more bizarre.
