I generally stay out of the political arena and please don't take this to mean that I'm apathetic about the upcoming election. I do care, but I'm not getting worked up or overly anxious about it. Here are some reasons why...
I know a little bit about the Roman Caesars through the ages. "Caesar" was the highest political rank in the Roman Empire (and the world for that matter). These leaders were known for being tyrannical, paranoid, narcissists who led extravagant and opulent lifestyles. They were liars and cheaters with a thirst for power and were known to insight civil wars. (Anything sound familiar??)
Not surprisingly, John wrote of the Apocalypse during Domitian's reign. Domitian persecuted Christians and Jews and was fond of throwing them to the lions to devour.
