  • Roman Emperor Nero Persecutes Christians in Rome, 64 AD Nero rules the Roman Empire. In the wake of a Great Fire that blazes through the city, he finds an unwitting scapegoat to draw the blame of angry Romans: a mysterious, distrusted religious minority known to history as the Christians. A legendary tale of cruelty unfolds as Nero unleashes a violent purge of the Christians upon the city.
    A story from ancient Rome (64 AD), based on Tacitus' Annals (Book 15) and Suetonius' Life of Nero, featuring: Nero, St. Peter, St. Paul

    I want to share with any brothers or sisters who see this that we will be rejoined with the martyrs, our beloved brothers and sisters, in the Kingdom. Let their sacrifice and faith remind us to not curse our task of turning away from worldly pleasure and enjoyment. What pleasure did they have? Stay strong and let us take up our crosses daily

      The "mark of the beast" were the Roman Caesars (Nero). Nothing to do with today.

    After Nero died there was a War, “year of the four emperors”, and the dynastic family changed from the Julio-Claudians to the Flavians. The Flavians were not of senatorial or even equestrian rank and were therefore desperate to prove their imperial legitimacy. They embarked on a propaganda campaign to smear the Julio-Claudia’s emperors. All of Nero’s misdeeds are catalogued by Tacitus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, and Josephus. All wrote under the direction of the Flavians, and were the primary instruments of this propaganda.
    A big clue as to what really happened is that the writings of Fabius Rusticus, the official court historian under Nero, did not survive. If we consider only contemporary sources, we are left with a much different picture: Nero was well-loved by his subjects, he was a talented artist, he was a great builder and the ancient Rome we imagine was completed by Nero. Nobody knows what really happened because we know the historical records are full of self-serving lies.
    There is no evidence of any Xian persecution by Nero. Put that in your pipe.

    Hi. Why were the martyrs willing to die painfully when Jesus had said "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's"? (Mark 12:17). "Things" includes more than paying taxes, and as Jesus obviously agreed that Caesar had legitimate rights, why would any Christian deny Caesar "his things", or pay him lip-service at least? Cheers, P.R.

      Christians in the time of Christ were seen as a sub-sect of Judaism, and were first called Christians at Antioch about 70 AD. (Acts 11:26) Cheers, P.R.
