It appears that the book of Acts ends with Paul in Rome, in a rented house. Acts 28 brings him to Rome, and ends, "And Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him."
Paul was arrested several times for preaching about Jesus Christ, helped to start several Christian congregations, was imprisoned in Rome and most likely killed by Nero. That might have been the 'end of his earthly story', but HIS story keeps going. Paul was a faithful and outspoken servant of God to the end of his earthly life, and is now in heaven . (Revelation 2:10NAS) ". . .Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. " and there IS no end to THAT story.(John 3:16)(Revelation 20:4-6)
History:
Because of his preaching work(Acts 17:1-9), Paul ended up on trial in Caesarea before Festus, evidently about 58 C.E. and appealed to Caesar, refusing to submit to a trial in Jerusalem, saying: " I appeal to Caesar!" (Acts 25:1, 6-11, 21) He was here speaking of Nero. Everywhere he went, he continued to preach.
At that time, he was sent to Rome, which fulfilled Jesus' prophetic promise and the angelic message later received (Acts 27:23&24)Acts 23:11. Despite suffering shipwreck on this trip, no lives were lost, as God promised, and Paul DID reach Rome.
Nero, who was by all accounts deranged to begin with, hated Christians and thought he found a way to destroy them, by blaming them for the fire that destroyed Rome. Because of this, a wave of persecution against Christians swept through the country. Paul, who'd evidently been freed after two years of imprisonment (c. 59-61 C.E.), was RE-arrested (c. 65 C.E.) and it is generally believed that Paul was then put to death by Nero.(Acts 25:12-27; 26:32; 28:19)
Paul apparently knew he was going to die soon, but knew he had something better to look forward to. (2 Timothy 4:6-8NAS)" . . .For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing."
