Bible Question: If Revelation was written after 90AD, why is the Temple still standing in Chapter 11. When it was already destroyed in 70AD. And since it was destroyed in 70AD why dosent John mention that catastrohic event that ended all of the Jewish Religion of that day. Love in Christ Jesus. RC |
Bible Answer: See Daniel 9 and look closely at verse 24-27, it says that Jerusalem will be rebuilt. Most commentators believe that the temple will be rebuitl at this time and the time is during the the times of distress in Revelation. See Daniel 11:31 where it says that forces from him will arise and desecrate the temple and set up the abomination of desolation. You can't have descration in a temple that does not exist, it has to be rebuit first. It has not rebuit yet and probably won't be rebuilt until the times of distress comes in Revelation times. John doesn't have to mention the temple being destroyed in 70 AD to write about it being rebuilt. As John pointed out to you he was to write down what he saw, not what we want to know. Another thing to factor in is that John would naturally assume that his readers knew that the temple had been destroyed and would not need to mention it. God Bless, Tamara |
