CDBJ, The book of Revelation was written approx. 65AD-66AD. The claims of a late date (95AD-96AD) are not based on solid evidence. They are based on a few questionable quotes. Again, you're always better off trusting Scripture as opposed to man's wisdom as stjohn has pointed out. The internal evidence from the book of Revelation itself shows that John wrote it during the earlier date. For example look at Rev. 11:1- Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there... If John in fact wrote The Revelation in the 90's you would expect at least a mention of the catastrophic events of 70AD just twenty five years earlier. Instead he says that he is told to measure the temple. This would be possible in 65AD, but not 95AD. I have asked those who hold to the late date if the events described in Revelation took place soon after 95AD since John clearly said that the events would take place shortly. There is no evidence of anything happening around 100AD that comes close to the events of 70AD. I would encourage you to read the several books out there that challenge the claims of a late date theory. I believe the evidence shows that all the NT books were completed by 70AD so John didn't miss the return of Christ at all! Coper |

Hello Coper, Your claims are not without some merit, but I don't entirely buy into the early date or lack of internal evidence argument. What does stand out and pique my interest is your statement that, "John didn't miss the return of Christ at all!" Without trying to be condescending, I say, "Really?!" When did He return and was it invisible? This is much akin to the JW's claim that Christ returned (invisibly) in 1914! This strains all credibility given Acts 1:11 and Rev. 1:7- "They also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." "BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen." Who saw Him? Did every eye see Him? The Second Coming will not go unnoticed! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
