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 |
