Part 2
Revelation 13:18
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
FULFILLED IN NERO
Nero's name in Hebrew equals 666. Some manuscripts have 616 instead of 666. Nero's name transliterated from Latin to Hebrew equals 616. This was probably done to help those less familiar with Hebrew to decipher the name.

Revelation 17:9-10
9 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 10 There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time.
FULFILLED IN NERO
The first seven Kings of the Roman Empire were:
1. Julius Caesar
2. Augustus Caesar
3. Tiberious Caesar
4. Gaius Caesar
5. Claudius Caesar "Five have fallen"
6. Nero Caesar "one is"
7. Galba "must remain for a little while"
Galba was the King for only seven months.
