Therefore, thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone,
a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation.
The Roman Empire's persecution on Christianity began, I believe, mainly with Nero, and Nero
was like one of the main persecutors that you read about in history, hated Christians.
He did terrible things to Christians, even lighting his garden with the martyrs of the
saints.
He lit the city of Rome on fire and blamed it on the Christians so that they would be
blamed for it.
Nero was a twisted reprobate that, you know, there's just things that I can't talk
about in a family documentary, but he did a lot of terrible things, and it wasn't
just him.
I mean, Caligula, he was a persecutor also, and they were literally feeding Christians
to the lions and having them fight against wild beasts in totally unfair situations as
entertainment for the Roman Empire.
