An anniversary for the Beast?

READING ACTS: The Beast Who Lived – Revelation 13:3-4. Phil Long continues his blog series on the Book of Revelation, concentrating on the seven sights of chapters 12-15. We are still on the second sight, the beast rising from the sea.

For a couple of past PaleoJudaica posts on the Nero rediturus ("Nero will return") myth and the Nero redivivus ("Nero will come back to life") myth, see here and here (links to one of Phil's posts). I will give you some more links when Phil gets to the end of chapter 13.

Meanwhile, by a remarkable cosmic synchronicity, today is the 1952nd anniversary of Nero's death.

I have noted earlier posts in Phil's series on the Book of Revelation here and links.
