Shared by very very FEW scholars. The vast vast majority of Biblical scholars place Revelation at about 95 AD. Citing the differing opinion of a tiny minority does not justify dismissing the scholarship of the vast majority.
Josephus mentions an earthquake and that by the next morning 8500 lay dead (although not due directly to the earthquake but to the Idumeans) - I'll keep looking on that one...
You will be looking a very long time because it never happened. A tenth of Jerusalem could not have been destroyed by an earthquake, because 10 tenths of Jerusalem was destroyed by the Roman Legions before Revelation was even written. This is because Revelation prophesies End-Time events which will happen in Israel, and Jerusalem.
And Praise God! Israel and Jerusalem EXIST again today! The sit, right where God has always wanted them, ready and waiting to fulfil God's prophesies and His Holy Covenants with Israel which were everlasting and unconditional. Look for the new Temple to be rebuilt on the Temple Mount right where the other ones were.
Well, the vast majority of scholarship in the late 1800's placed Revelation in the 65-70AD time frame. I don't 'dismiss' the current majority view, I just believe it to be in error.
God's best isn't good enough for you? It's not thrilling enough to have God Himself dwelling with us now, in our midst? Am I to assume you also would prefer animal sacrifices to what God did at Calvary? How much ungrateful blasphemy do you think God will tolerate?
