Searcher, most of Revelations and Matthew and Mark and Luke and many other books talk about the exact same fulfilled events. They all quote other previously fulfilled events from history and the Old Testament. Get your Bible out and let’s check out the Scriptures that paint the “completed” picture that Jesus and His apostle John painted prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. They depict the same ones which transpired as Jesus stated. You need to note that Revelation is ESPECIALLY filled with symbolic language, something the Jew have easily understood for centuries. Many even “talk symbolically” today about everyday details and events. John frequently quotes from Isaiah. For example, Isaiah 34:4 says, “And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.” Rev. 6:12-14 “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.” By the way, (you have to read the rest of the chapter AND some history) Isaiah’s prophecy WAS FULFILLED during the judgment of Bozrah and Idumea. And just like the verses in Isaiah 34 say WILL happen did – although the speech was symbolic, like so much of Scripture, IT HAPPENED. And don’t forget Haggi’s. In about 520 B.C., he predicted a “world” disaster. Hag 2:6-7, “For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.” And THIS WAS fulfilled when the temple was rebuilt. A new “AGE” was born to prepare the world for another NEW AGE – the age which prepared the way for the Lord’s birth etc. By reading Amos, Josephus and other material, you will follow how it took place. Just as the disciples understood Matthew – so must we. I like you, Searcher. You’re a person desiring to “cover all the bases.” Respectfully, Taleb |

Therefore since John wrote Revelation, after 70 AD ... Mat 24:29; Rev 6:12-13, 8:12 are in the future. Well said. | ||||||

Searcher, you need to ADD to your library. I'll for now just quote the handiest, "...as for the date of its writing, the most common OPINION is it was written in the reign of Domitian, about 95 A.D.; OTHERS, WITH SOME JUSTIFICATION, believe that parts of it were composed as early as Nero's time, shortly before 70 A.D. And a commentary says; “John received this Revelation under the reign of Vespasian.” This date also might place it before the final overthrow of the Jewish state; though Vespasian reigned to A.D. 79. The inscription to this book, in the Syrian version, first published by De Dieu, in 1627, and, afterwards in the London Polyglot, is the following: “The Revelation which God made to John the evangelist, in the island of Patmos, to which he was banished by Nero Caesar.” This places it before the year of our Lord 69, and consequently before the destruction of Jerusalem. Of this opinion are many eminent writers, and among them Hentenius, Harduin, Grotius, Lightfoot, Hammond, Sir Isaac Newton, Bishop Newton, Wetstein, and others. Seeing how, unless there are TWO separate ends of the "age" that Jesus warned His Disciples would HAPPEN in their time, then I stand with what the OTHERS, WITH SOME JUSTIFICATION, believe. Any other questions, I am willing, but you must be patient. I am not always "privileged to the time I spent here today." I apprectiate your "compliment" on my writing :) Yours too! If you need additional "sources" - that's what my library is for. Respectfully, Taleb |
