Synopsis

"Before Jerusalem Fell: Dating the Book of Revelation" is a doctoral dissertation seeking to demonstrate that Revelation was written prior to the destruction of the Jewish Temple in AD 70 and that it was prophesying that event. It proves this early date for Revelation by providing both internal evidence from within Revelation and external evidence from Church history and tradition. It provides much exposition of the text of Revelation. A large part of the argument deals with the identity of the beast (666) as Nero Caesar, the first imperial persecutor of the Church.

"A brilliant book-length defense of the earth date approach." -- Roland H. Worth, The Seven Cities of the Apocalypse (1999)

"Excellent work in forcing reconsideration of the date when the Book of Revelation was written." -- R. C. Sproul (The Last Days According to Jesus)

"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)
