Crazy Nero
By Mark Flippo
For six days and seven nights the citizens of ancient Rome watched helplessly as their city burned. The great fire that consumed Rome in A.D. 64 spread quickly and savagely. After it was over, 70 percent of the city had been destroyed. "Of Rome's 14 districts, only four remained intact. Three were leveled to the ground. The other seven were reduced to a few scorched and mangled ruins," writes the contemporary Roman historian Tacitus. Of the million-person population, an estimated half was made newly homeless by the fire.
It is only a rumor the Nero started the fire the burned most of Rome. He supposedly played his lyre as it burned! Nero was off of his rocker like so many dictators before him. No matter how it started, our Lord made it possible for Christians to escape! If you learn to lean on him you will be prepared for any event that comes near you! You may get warmed up but Jesus can keep us from getting burned!
