Spiritual Lessons from the Time of Nero

Summary

The times of Roman Emperor Nero mark in the annals of history a season of unprecedented difficulty and trial for the Christian faith. But, this time was no less challenging for the Jewish people that had chosen to refuse, rather than accept, their long-awaited Messiah.

This study focuses on a period of time between two massive events in first century world history between AD 64 (The Burning of Rome) and AD 70 (The Fall of Jerusalem). To understand what happened in this stretch of time greatly increases a believer’s comprehension of the New Testament and God’s very nature as a good Father. It puts into context the writings of the New Testament and helps to better understand the audience and the spectacular intent behind the Scriptures.

Nero was a terrible man who architected terrible things against God’s people. But out of this outrageous and horrific trial, a triumphant New Testament Church sprang forth — one ready and even eager to die for their precious Lord and Savior with a smile on their lips and a song in their hearts. Simultaneously, the clear fulfillment of Christ’s Word of awful judgment upon the Jews who refused to repent and receive heaven-sent grace was radically set before the nations for awe-inspiring contemplation.

This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.
