I believe that the basic gist of Revelation is referring to the destruction of the Temple in AD 70.

Well since the book of Revelation was written about 20 years after the destruction of the Temple it wasn't much of a revelation then.

#1, is there a copyright on the book in your Bible, or are you relying on external evidence? I don't recall the dating of the book being finalized.

#2, so what? A book using mystical language to explain recent events to worried and scattered communities is not a bad thing.

This is a unproven, erroneous and IMO untrue statement but nevertheless will be repeated and believed ad infinitum.
