I’m on my second run through the Bible. I’ll be done with it by the end of the year (minus the deuterocanonical books. It’s a valuable exercise.

Nero might not have been the beast referenced in the Bible. It’s a theory. I should have said that from the start. It doesn’t take away from the fact that Paul was jailed and beheaded by Nero.

I’d be very interested to hear who/what you think the beast is.
