Doesn’t matter...What does matter is that none of the events in Revelation have taken place yet..Had Revelation take place you wouldn’t be here to write about it because the earth vanished about a thousand years ago...

How could it vanish if it never ends?
Martin Luther placed Revelation at the end of the New Testament because he did not think it should be in the Bible. There is not six people in the world with the foggiest notion what it means — if you take it out of the context of 65AD, which is the period to which it was addressed. The mark of the beast was in full play at that time. I even saw a documentary on PBS where it mentioned it, although it was not called that. People were required to sacrifice to the emperor or face death, etc.
Moses Stuart went through it with a fine tooth comb. Its construction is amazing, and most of its contents and symbolism are taken from the Old Testament, especially Isaiah. And sometimes redirected, such as the Key of David, and Gog and Magog.
Christians have been persecuted and put to death all down through history. It is happening now in the Middle East. The North Koreans government still takes particular delight in torturing Christians.
By the way, “anti-Christ” is not mentioned in Revelation.
Oh?
Even a broken sundial is right once a day!
