Justme: I don't know enough about this subject to answer your question. I, too, have been listening to the broadcasts about the book, "The Last Disciple." This is all new to me. Thanks for your Answer. I may post my Question again, in the hope that I'll get some feedback from others on the forum. Grace to you, Kalos |

When was the book of Revelation written? About A.D.95, before A.D.70, other? Please include supporting evidence (scriptural, historical) when you reply. "I was always taught..." or "I believe..." doesn't prove anything. :-) |

The former date... ... John wrote the Revelation about 96 C.E., approx. 26 years after the destruction of Jerusalem. This would be toward the close of the reign of Emperor Domitian. In support of this, Irenaeus in his “Against Heresies” (V, xxx) says of the Apocalypse: “For that was seen no very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian’s reign.” Eusebius and Jerome both agree with this testimony. Domitian was the brother of Titus, who led the Roman armies to destroy Jerusalem. He became emperor at the death of Titus, 15 years before the book of Revelation was written. He demanded that he be worshiped as god and assumed the title Dominus et Deus noster (meaning “Our Lord and God”). Emperor worship did not disturb those who worshiped false gods, but it could not be indulged in by the early Christians, who refused to compromise their faith on this point. Thus, toward the close of Domitian’s rule (81-96 C.E.), severe persecution came upon the Christians. John was most likely exiled to Patmos by Domitian. When Domitian was assassinated in 96 C.E., he was succeeded by the more tolerant emperor Nerva, who evidently released John. It was during this imprisonment on Patmos that John received the visions he wrote down in Revelation. |
