Revelation is one of the most misunderstood books of the Bible. Much of this misunderstanding is due to the confusion regarding the time it was written. The dating of the book is central to understanding its purpose and audience.

Dr. Gentry proves that the book was written before the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. The evidence for this conclusion is found within the pages of Scripture itself. We do not have to depend on writings from a hundred years or more after the fact to get the accurate story. God's own Word sets the record straight.

"I have encountered not treatment of the dating of Revelation more thorough than his dissertation on the subject." -- Steve Gregg (Revelation: Four Views: A Parallel Commentary)

"That the list of kings begins with Julius Caesar and Nero is the sixth has been argued in throrough manner." -- Gregory K. Beale (Revelation: New International Greek Testament Commentary)
