## Resource

Was the Book of Revelation written during Nero's reign—or decades later under Domitian? In Episode 9 of the Revelation Series, Jay Rogers examines the evidence behind one of the most important debates in biblical prophecy: the date of Revelation.   If Revelation was written before AD 70, it may have been addressing events unfolding in real time—including Nero's persecution, the coming destruction of Jerusalem, and the crisis facing the first-century church.   In this episode: The still-standing Temple in Revelation 11 The meaning of the "one is" statement in Revelation 17 The sequence of Roman emperors  Early church testimony and historical evidence Syriac manuscript traditions The significance of Nero's 42-month persecution   Was Revelation written as a warning to Christians living through an approaching judgment—or as a prophecy about events far in the future? This episode explores the evidence and why the dating of Revelation changes how the entire book is understood.
