Firstly, no member of the Julio-Claudian dynasty was a King, not one. Indeed, Julius Caesar was Imperator only in the historic sense of “Conqueror,” a title held by many successful Roman generals before him. The first real Roman Emperor who actually held the authority we associate with the Emperors, with whom the Republic had definitely ended, was Octavian, or Caesar Augustus as he liked to call himself. Otherwise your list is correct, but all educated people know who the members of the Julio-Claudian dynasty are, in part because they were so eccentric and extreme, you basically have the original Caesar, his scheming great nephew and adopted son Augustus, who did rebuild Rome replacing bricks with marble, then Tiberius, who was a decadent, tyrannical pervert, then Caligula, who was initially good, but then became diabolical and engaged in shocking sadistic behavior, then Claudius, who people had written off as dim witted, but who was really the most responsible of these emperors, and who also conquered Britain, and finally Nero, who was much loved before the fire and his persecution of Christians, who built himself a fabulous palace filled with technological marvels, the Domus Aurae, with help from the polytechnic of Alexandria.
Secondly, regarding your diagram, I can’t accept that because what you are saying is that the Antichrist must come while the EU and Israel exist as political entities, while Christ our True God said that no man can know the time these things will happen. There have been numerous supposed anti-Christs who did not bring about the end of the world, who were a type of the anti-Christ nonetheless.
Also, the beast is clearly the Anti-Christ, one and the same, with Nero having been a type of him. St. John makes it clear that we can decode 666, and if we decode it, we get the Greek spelling of Nero, and if we decode 616, which appears in a variant manuscript, we get the Latin spelling. And this corresponds with what St. John wrote elsewhere, that Antichrist was already in the world. Thus, I believe there will be a future anti-Christ, but we can’t say when, and thus it is pointless trying to associate such an anti-Christ with any existing governments, since they might all have vanished by then, just as no secular government from the time of Christ (except, remotely possibly, the Imperial polity (Kokutai) of Japan) is still extant, but this anti-Christ will be the latest and ultimate in a series that began with Nero and included the likes of Diocletian, Muhammed, Tamerlane, Genghis Khan, Al-Hakim, Sultan Ahmet, perhaps the tyrant Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon most likely, and more recently, the Turkish rulers of the last 150 years, and, Lenin, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Hoxha, and Caliph Al-Baghdadi, who all represent types of anti-Christ, but are not the final, definitive anti-Christ.
The number 666 clearly refers to Nero, however, and so we can say that at a minimum the anti-Christ will have the grandiose attributes of Nero, and will wind up persecuting Christians even if he initially seems to be our ally.
