Was the rule of Rome also absolutionism? Caesar also is seen as God and must be worship across the empire. Because of this early Christians were persecuted as they do not recognize Caesar as God.Yes There's no question that Nebbernazar was a Monarch ( A king) But His rule was absolutionism.So his rule is a protype of the wild beast who has the number 666.
It’s more likely that Rome is the type of the wild beast as it is mentioned by Daniel as the fourth beast being described as having iron teeth.(Daniel 7:7,8) In Revelation 13, the wild beast will also have the characteristic of the Babylonian empire being the lion’s mouth, but not just that but also the previous empires, leopard as Greece and the bear to Persian.
Interestingly, both Babylon and Rome crushed God’s people and its Temple. Both also demanded worship, but Caesar demanded his subjects to worship him unlike the Babylonian King demanded to worship his god. In Daniel 11:36, Caesar much resembles it.
We may see the rise of the Roman empire or something similar to it.
