The early church was warned about the man of lawlessness whose number was 666 that some believed was Nero since the bible also said the man of lawlessness killed his mother, such as Nero did. The bible warned about this, and 60-100 million people died, many of whom were Christians that did believe that Nero was the man of lawlessness. There were warnings, but millions still died. God didn't like it, but many accepted their deaths as recorded in Foxes book of Martyes and Josephious.
I believe common consent amongst biblical scholars now is that the number is actually 616. And seriously, you're claiming that Nero killed 60-100 million people? Just for the record, that's more than the two World Wars combined.The least he could do is pop down? What is the Holy Ghost for?? Have you not strived for the gift of knowledge so you will know that which effects the kingdom of God? He will not give that which you do not seek.
So basically God won't warn us when there's a genocidal maniac about to kill millions of his beloved creatures because 'he won't give us that which we do not seek'? This is like a mother refusing to warn her child that jumping into a fire is dangerous because she 'won't give the kid that which he does not seek'. You do claim that he warned Joseph about Herod, so it's fine to warn a man about danger to a single baby, but wrong to warn people about danger to entire races or millions of peoples?
^this, religon is flawed in so many ways and yet people choose to beleive it.
