1 � And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.
3 And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.
4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
7 And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.
8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.
9 And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.
10 And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months.
11 And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. [Apollyon: that is to say, A destroyer]
12 One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.
13 � And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,
14 Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.
15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. [for an hour: or, at an hour]
16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.
17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt
That Is Your Interpretation, and as you see there are "NO" VERSES from the bible, only "YOUR" Opinion
The Angel then says that the beast (man)was( before AD 96 when the Angel was telling him this) , is not ( is dead in AD 96 when the Angel is telling him this), and he SHALL ( future tense) ASCEND OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT.
In the same verse it says they that dwell on the earth shall wonder( be astonished or startled) when they behold the beast (man) who was alive, was dead , and yet is alive.
You can't get around the part where it says the world wonders ( astonished or startled in some translations) about the beast ( man ) that was alive , then dead , and yet is alive. The world wouldn't be astonished about a spirit, but they would about a man who lived 1900 years ago, and had died, yet was alive again.

this is the simple word of God showing us that the beast is a man who comes out of the bottomless pit to become the eighth king, yet is one of the former seven kings. He was alive before AD 96 ,was dead in AD 96 , and shall ascend OUT OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT to become the eighth king.

The Bible Does Not Show Us That The Beast Is A Man, To The Contrary It States "A BEAST" Shall Arise Out Of The Bottomless Pit. You Have added to that verse "A MAN" I don't see it in there, can you point out exactly what part of the verse says that the beast is a Man ?
Here is where you are in "ERROR"
The Anti-Christ is a "MAN" that will be indwelt by the "BEAST" who is a SPIRIT
Rev 16:13 And I saw three
"unclean spirits" like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon,out of the mouth of "The Beast"(Anti-Christ), and and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14"For they are the spirits of devils" , working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
You have continually said that the Beast of the bottomless pit is a "Man"
The Bible does not say that,"IT IS YOUR OPINION/ASSUMPTION" Clearly the verses above show that the Anti-Christ is a MAN Indwelt by "SPIRITS" for we "Clearly see the Spirits coming out of the mouth of the "MAN", The Anti-Christ
The Beast "Spirit" occupying the body of the Anti-Christ (the MAN) is also refered to as "The Beast" because the Anti-Christ is controlled by the Beast Spirit, Just as Jesus was God and Man at the same time.
The Beast's deadly wound being healed will be satan's imatation of the ressurection of Jesus, proving he is God. This is why the whole world will "Wonder" after the Beast, they will believe him to be God.
Please Post the verse where it says "The Beast Is A Man", as you have said many times.
The verse you refer to "CLEARLY" states the "BEAST"(SPIRIT) shall arise out of the bottomless pit. I see no mention of a Man anywhere in that verse, so where does The "WORD" MAN come from other than your "Imagination"
You also did not tell em how Nero will Die Three Times. Once at 68AD as you have said,
Once when he recieves the deadly wound, which you say was his suicide wound to the neck, which can't be true because it was not healed at the time of 68AD and the Whole World did not "Wonder" or were astonished as you put it, but merely buried him, never to be seen again.
And the Third time when he is cast into the Lake of Fire :
Re 19:20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Another Point: The Beast only reigned for 3 1/2 Years after he recieved the deadly wound and before he was cast into the Lake Of Fire. It has been more than 3 1/2 years since 68AD which further proves that "Nero could not be the Beast"
Re 13:5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.(3 1/2 Years)
The Beast Was Cast Into The Lake Of Fire 3 1/2 Years After He Recieved The Deadly Wound, You Said NERO Recieved His Deadly Wound At 68AD. That Means Nero Would Have Been In The Lake Of Fire Since 71-72AD.
Your Facts (assumptions) are not adding up.
Clearly your theory is not accurate and is full of error and assumptions.

The Beast Only Rules For 3 1/2 Years, So NERO could only Rule For 3 1/2 Years after he recieves the Deadly wound,and before he gets cast into the Lake.
You say Nero recieved the deadly wound around 68AD. That means that Nero would be cast into the lake by 72AD. Like I said Your Facts Don't Add Up, You are Incorrect.
