So if Nero Cesar was the Anti-Christ what does mean to the book of Revelation? I mean if the Anti-Christ was him has “end time” prophecy been fulfilled? Has this all taken place during the Roman Empire?
Nero was a proto-antichrist, just as Genesis 3:15 is a proto-evangelium (not sure if I spelled that right, apologies if I didn’t). The man of perdition is yet to come. We must ask God to forgive him for what he will do, for Jesus commands us to love our enemies and He asked the Father to forgive His executioners.
And if you are specifically looking for the word “anti-christ,” (1 John 2:18) distinguishes the one from the many.
Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that the antichrist was coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. Thus we know this is the last hour.
