Like I said elsewhere, the details of who Jesus said the harlot were and Jesus' words to those standing and hearing Him, who would be alive when He came, reveal it all. You have to deny Christ's own words about the whore's identity to remain post trib.

2 Thess 1 says His coming would be with vengeance on those who persecuted the Thessalonians 2,000 years ago. That cannot be so if THAT coming is yet in our future.

2Th 1:4-10 KJV So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: (5) Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: (6) Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; (7) And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, (8) In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: (9) Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (10) When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Where in particular can I read more about Nero/statue?
