2 Thessalonians 2:6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
The movie was vivid, a Caesar, Nero, in fact, was playing his lyre. All the while Rome was burning. In the backdrop were flames of the city Rome. Before this was the character Nero looking crazy or mad, smiling while enjoying his music. Of course this was Hollywood’s version. The truth is, many believe when Rome was on fire, Nero saw to it that the deed were done so he could rebuild the city and name it after himself. Many also believe he was indeed playing such an instrument as the city burned.
Nero is a classic mad man. Rome had a very lust filled and lewd man at the helm. Nero was seen as deranged, even though many feared him, they did not say so. This man committed incest with his mother, had homosexual affairs and committed heterosexual rape. It was Nero who brought to bear the full weight of persecution upon Christians of his day. Even though Nero could be considered nuts, he had power. He put the blame on Christians for the burning of Rome. The citizens hated the Christians more than Nero. Many thought this new Jewish sect were cannibals, where they viewed the Lords supper in which the body and blood of Jesus Christ were taken as evidence of this. This new group also did not worship the emperor, nor would they have any sign of their god. For all trinkets, gods, and amulets were not worn or acquired by this group. So began one of the worst times of persecution for Christians.
