****Historical Context (Not Biblical)**** The idea of “four emperors” after Nero is not stated in Scripture. Historically, following Nero’s death in 68 CE, Rome entered what is known as the “Year of the Four Emperors,” when Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian each briefly held power. The Bible uses the term “kings” in prophecy (such as in Daniel and Revelation), but it does not specifically mention Nero or these emperors by name. Any connection between them is interpretation, not direct biblical prophecy.
Hey there and welcome to The Seeds of Transformation Podcast with Dr. Allma Johnson bonus episode!
Quick question for you: when you hear the words government shutdown, what do you think of? Probably today’s news, right? Leaders can’t agree, bills don’t pass, and everything feels stuck.
But did you know the Bible is full of shutdowns too? Egypt collapsing under the plagues. Babylon falling in a single night. Israel in the days of the Judges when, as Scripture says, everyone did what was right in their own eyes.
And here’s the big question: which one of those shutdowns looks most like what we’re going through today? Stick with me, because in this episode we’re going to walk through history, Scripture, and prophecy, and I’ll show you why every human government may shut down, but God’s Kingdom never does.
