Prophecy is ALWAYS future...If it's already been done, it's HISTORY...
So please tell this feeble minded child how Prophecy can be HISTORY...Revelation was written well after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.
“Revelation was written well after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.”
Actually, the evidence, both internal and external, overwhelmingly supports the early date, i.e., before 70 AD.
In fact, there is no internal evidence at all to support the late date and the external evidence is largely based on an obscure sentence by Irenaeus (130-202 AD) in his work “Against Heresies.” And, BTW, in that same work, Irenaeus also referred to “ancient copies” of Revelation. Considering it must have taken a while to handwrite even one copy, Irenaeus doesn’t make a good witness for the late date advocates anyway.
There’s a great book on the dating of Revelation called “Before Jerusalem Fell,” by Gentry, if you’re interested.
