Roman Emperor from 54 to 68, and the last in the Julio-Claudian dynasty. He is infamously known as the Emperor who "fiddled while Rome burned" and as an early persecutor of Christians.

God in Genesis 15 promised Abraham that the land of Canaan would be his land forever. The land of Canaan is now the Land of Israel. Israel is the home of 1/3 of the entire world's Jews. About half of all Israelis are Mizrachim, descended from Jews who have been in the land since ancient times. Just like what God says in Genesis 15:18, To your descendants I give this land.

My mom was really happy when she was able to give birth to me since she had miscarried 2 babies before me. She was really scared I would be miscarried too but she never gave up. Finally, I was born, and mom wasn't exactly very young. Just like Sarah in Genesis 21:7b - "Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.” This does kinda relate since it was really hard to give birth to me and my mom has lost some hope when she has miscarried twice.
