Antiochus is O.T. Josephus, and Nero is N.T. Josephus. It has nothing to do with reference and everything to do with chronology. Anyone whose life overlapped or came after the life of Christ is N.T.

As a side-note, Alexander the Great is totally doable without using anything extra-Biblical (although Josephus would probably end up being used to get his actual name in the reference, like the Emperors and Antiocus).

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

You cold reffer to the prophecy concerning greece in the book of Daniel for Alexander the great perhaps

But he is explicitly mentioned in Josephus...and in a positive light so would he be a greek Hero?

possibly redemptions first bisexual greek hero?  ;)

I hope there are non from the Apocrypha. 
I must say that I have always been pleased that Rob uses the Masoretic and Textus Receptus renderings.  How odd given that the Catholic Church looks down on these manuscripts.

I suspect that the reason for this is business rather than theology, in that the AV is now in the public domain so no royalties have to be paid.

There's no Apocryphal in the PD?
