WHEN WAS REVELATION WRITTEN?

90s.

The preterist interpretation of John's apocalypse requires an early date. It takes a lot of special pleading and weird interpretation to get there. Unconvincing.

But the Preterists insist that an honest analysis of all scripture demands their interpretation is correct, and theirs alone.

But then, most views say the same thing.

Too many things the preterists cannot explain for me after 50 years of serious study of the scripture.

NO VIEW can explain all things. I knew Hal Lindsay in the 60’s and he was sure he had it all figured out then. But history didn’t play his way then.

The person who insists that he/she has it all together - I run from.....

I do know this: Jesus warned often, “Watch & pray - we know not what hour He will come.” Revelation ends with “Come, Lord Jesus, Come!”

If those are in our heart - we’ll be ok. Spiritually. Physically? Only God knows.....
