An Insight Into Revelation

            An Insight Into Revelation The book of Revelation is the last profound book in the New Testament. It conveys the significant purpose of Christianity by describing God's plan for the world and his final judgement of the people by reinforcing the importance of faith and the concept of Christianity as a whole. This book written by John in 95 or 96 AD, is the revelation of Jesus Christ illustrating the events that occur before and during the second coming of Christ. By using complex symbolism and apocalyptic metaphor the meaning of Revelation is defined. What is, what has been, and what is to come is the central focus of the content. When correlating the total concept of the book of Revelation the tremendous impact of the word of God cannot be overlooked. Revelation was written in the last 3rd of the 1st century clearly when the christians were being pressured by Rome to turn from their faith to the Roman emperor. This book was intended for the seven churches of Asia. Some think that the book was written around 64 AD, after the burning of Rome. Revelation 11:1 references the temple suggesting that it is still standing when history proves that the temple was destroyed by Titus in 70 AD. However, this could simply be a prediction and have no relevance as to the date the book was written. On the other hand, there is historical evidence that points to 95 or 96 AD as being the more probable date for the writing of this narrative. Among these include statements from christian writers such as church father who states that Revelation was written in the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian (81-96). In addition this date better agrees with description of the early churches and is accepted by them as well as by scholars as the better date. A man named John wrote the book of Revelation on an island in the Argean Sea named Patmos. This person is believed to be John the Apostle of Jesus Christ, author of the fourth gospel.
