    Hi Bruce,

I will gather data asap which points directly, imo, to Nero Ceasar as 
being symbolized with his empire as 666 or the Beast. (Now, I have 
guests. :-)

It is my not belief that the "end of the age" occurred in 70 AD. Jesus is 
adressing 2 questions in Matt 24:3. And as he sat upon the mount of 
Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when 
shall these things be? AND what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of 
the end of the world?
