Probably. Its hard to say. Its not one book, and I address specific parts as issues arise. I certainly don't give much attention to the boring genealogies. Have you read **_any_** of the noncsnonical gospels? Or, if you're asserting that Nero was the beast, then you're making an argument based on Hebrew numerology - do you understand their numerology, and can you verify the argument? I won't claim to have it memorized (ironic word, but you'd have to have done the work to know), but I've done enough to know that Nero isn't the beast. I know who the beast is. I can prove it. But I won't, because it's occulted for a reason.

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.
This is the program I follow. I don’t agree 100% with the hosts theology, but overall it’s very well done.
If you're interested, the information is available. Out of respect, I will not say more. I tend to say too much, and I need to stop that.
