Emperor Nero & The Great Fire of Rome&mordern Neros Roman Emperor Nero[Nero targeted the Believers NOT CHRISTIANS [persecution of christians is big lie he persecuted the followers of Hebrew Messiah. Not the followers of greek messiah je-sus false messiah] The first recorded official persecution of Believers on behalf of the Roman Empire was that of the year 64 A.D. , when, as reported by the Roman historian Tacitus, the Emperor Nero blamed them for the Great Fire of Rome. This incited the Roman people to attack the although the Great Fire of Rome was a false flag attack by some Romans themselves to gain the peoples approval in sacking Jerusalem. According to Church tradition, it was during the reign of Nero that Peter and Paul were each martyred in Rome. At that time Paul and Peter were condemned to capital punishment. The Great Fire of Rome was an urban fire that occurred beginning July 19, AD 64. According to Tacitus, it spread quickly and burned for five and a half days. Only four of the fourteen districts of Rome escaped the fire; three districts were completely destroyed and the other seven suffered serious damage. The only other contemporaneous historian to mention the fire was Pliny the Elder, who wrote about it in passing. A hundred and thirty-two houses and four blocks have been burnt in six days; the seventh brought a pause. This account implies less than a tenth of the city was burnt. Rome contained about 1,700 private houses and 47,000 tenement blocks. It was said by Cassius Dio that Nero, the emperor at the time, sang the Sack of Ilium in stage costume as the city burned. After the fire, Nero opened his palaces to provide shelter for the homeless, and arranged for food supplies to be delivered in order to prevent starvation among the survivors. In the wake of the fire, he made a new urban development plan. Houses after the fire were spaced out, built in brick, and faced by porticos on wide roads. It is uncertain who or what actually caused the fire. According to Tacitus, some in the population held Nero responsible. To diffuse blame, Nero targeted the Believers . There were Believers who confessed to the crime, but it became known that Believers were forced to confess by means of torture, and the passage is unclear as to what the Believers confessed to — being arsonists or followers of Messiah Suetonius and Cassius Dio favor Nero as the arsonist with an insane desire to destroy the city of Jerusalem as his motive, or to rebuild Rome in a new style more to his liking. According to Tacitus, Nero ordered Believers to be thrown to dogs, while others were hanged or burned to serve as lights. He describes the event as follows: As a consequence, to get rid of the report, Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Messanic Believers from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but, even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. In accordance, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not as much of the crime of firing the city as of hatred against mankind. Mockery of every sort was added to their deaths. Covered with the skins of beasts, they were torn by dogs and perished, or were nailed to crosses, or were doomed to the flames and burnt, to serve as a nightly illumination, when daylight had expired. picture 2] mordern Neros are targeted the Believers and followers of Hebrew Mashyach FOR THEIR master antimessiah REV 13 ;131And he does great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from the heaven on the earth before men. _________________________________________________________________
