HISTORICAL PERSECUTION OF BELIEVERS – LESSON 1

NERO 67-70 A.D.

 

We have just finished eleven lessons on the martyrdom of the early church apostles and deacons. Those persecutions were carried out prior to Roman Emperor Caesar Nero almost exclusively by Jewish leaders. Beginning with Nero, the source of persecution shifted from the traditional Jewish establishment to the Roman Empire.

 

I will use the traditionally accepted dates from church history as laid forth by Bishop James Ussher and found annotated in some bibles, especially the KJV. Modern history often gives a date four years earlier. For example, traditional calendars give Jesus’ death and resurrection as 33 A.D. while modern research says it was most likely 29 A.D. Fox’s Book of Martyrs uses the traditional dates that I shall follow which may not match current history being off by four years or so.

 

Nero was emperor about fourteen years having ascended as a teenager. His early years were fairly calm and normal, but then things radically changed within him. He turned quite evil. His stepmother had orchestrated his rise to power so that she could have power. After a marriage turned bad, he had both his wife and his stepmother executed. He became evil and extremely cruel. I would say he became demented as had his forebear Caesar Caligula had been two decades earlier.

 

According to several early historians he had a desire to build himself a huge elaborate garden estate. In order to make room for it, he had Rome set on fire. The fire burned nine days, clearing land so he could rebuild as he wished. However, to avoid Roman citizens blaming him for the fire, Nero blamed it on the Christians. To lend credibility to that false claim, he began severe persecution of all Christians throughout his empire, but especially in Jerusalem which was the ruling center of the Christian church.

 

The persecution began in A.D. 67 when his forces entered Jerusalem, took many prisoners of both Christians and Jews, and destroyed many of the buildings. He had Peter executed. Nero also had Paul executed at this same time. Paul had been held captive in Rome. It did not end then. His army returned in 70 A.D. and destroyed what remained of Jerusalem. Many were killed, and all other Jews and Christians fled the city to seek refuge in other countries.

 

The Roman Senate grew weary of Nero’s atrocities and was in the process of passing a resolution of condemnation against Nero. He was away from Rome when he learned of it, at which time he chose to take his own life. He became the first Caesar to commit suicide and was the last of the inheritance line which lasted a little more than a hundred years that came down from Julius Caesar. Emperors continued to rule Rome, but not of Caesar’s blood line.

 

The rule of terror under Nero was the first of ten periods of Roman persecution of Christian believers. It covered 67 to 70 A.D., or 63 to 66 A.D. by some modern accounts. We will begin to look at each of the remaining nine periods of Roman persecution beginning tomorrow.

RUNNING THE RACE

 

As a young girl I was a “tomboy”. I had two older brothers that were involved in sports including pole vault, high jump, baseball (not softball) and relay races. I was a fast runner. I could jump over the pole vault bar and I could throw a baseball as far as any boy. I wanted to be accepted as a girl along with the boys in our neighborhood.

 

Sports were a big thing in the Greek and Roman culture. The Olympics started out of Greece and continues today. There are rewards for those that win. In childhood relays I took home blue ribbons and sometimes the red which were second place. I wanted to win! 

 

The apostle Paul, like Jesus, used what the listeners were familiar with and used everyday life as examples. In Philippians 3:14 he said, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Being part of the Greek culture that involved sports, the common man of his day understood the race for the prize. They understood the winner would go before the Judge’s Bema Seat to receive their reward for winning. He would be given a victor’s crown made of vines and flowers. In this verse Paul is telling those in Philippi that they needed to press in. Anyone that runs knows that they save the most energy for the final moments. They give it their all to press to win the prize. 

 

As we get older, oftentimes we want to slow down but upon reading this scripture, I see it differently. We should be pressing in harder for the race of life than ever before. We should be running it with all we have so when we come to the end of the race that we will receive that crown that is given to the victor. Don’t ever think it is too late to run the race my friends. There is always a way for each of us to finish in victory with the help of the Lord. 

 

The wisdom that each of you have reading this should be passed on to the younger generation. Press into that and show them how to run the race with you! Be blessed to be a blessing!

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION


Don’t ever allow the enemy to tempt you to give up on your dreams and goals; Neither should you act as though you never should’ve dared to dream them at all. You must know that it was God who puts the dream in the hearts of His people. He then places everything within their hearts that it’ll take for them to buck up and to see those dreams and goals fulfilled and come to pass. So just stop trying to convince yourself and others that you never really had a dream at all. Some of you may find yourself in a prison of your own doing and you’re all locked up with your dreams lost somewhere along life’s sometimes difficult journey. Remember in Genesis 39 how the story begins of Joseph being put in prison all because of jealousy and lies. However, even behind those prison walls his dream lived on. Why? First of all it was because that dream was still alive in Joseph’s own heart; And therefore it was destined to soon be fulfilled. Then guess what happened? In Genesis 41 it did exactly what God knew it would do. So right now you go ahead and renew the vision in your heart of those God given dreams and goals of yours; But don’t you never ever give up. Instead you always keep the faith, believe in yourself and know that deep within you will see your dreams come to full fruition in God’s timing
