Hell you can't even get the name right sooooo......
But anyways Revelation (with no "s") was about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70AD by Rome within the same generation of Jesus being crucified EXACTLY like Jesus said would happen. "This generation shall not pass till all these things take place"
Where are we now? "Sit at my right hand while I make all your enemies your footstool" God the Father to Jesus (That verse appears more times in scripture than any other) "God wins" isn't just a Q slogan, it's the theme of the entire Bible.
Here's a playlist of sermons, discussions and debates on the subject that I suggest everyone checks out because Theology matters. Eschatology matters. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm4vxYfDpoYaWjqK76eZukIyKtyX5Xa-J
Sorry, this is false. The context of that passage makes it clear that it's referring to a future generation, not the current generation.
I agree with Datasinc. The plain reading of Revelation lends itself well to the 70 AD destruction of Jerusalem with complete correspondence of every single detail. An excellent resource on this is Gary DeMar at American Vision, book Last Days Madness. Another good book, When the Man Comes Around by Douglas Wilson. We can read what is there, or we can add imagination to it. It is important to differentiate.
In the end, does it really matter specifically which generation Revelation is talking about? The Bible repeats. The atonement for a Blessed Nation descending into decadence will ALWAYS have to be paid just the same, and with a heavy price.
America won't escape this
No it doesn't...Doctrinal disputes are healthy....ones that question the Gospel, even in the slightest, are not.

Who fielded a 200 million man army in AD 70?
And I do not think it could just mean a very large number. The verse is "The army had 200 million soldiers on horses. I heard them say how many there were."
It was large symbolic number like you or I saying "gazillions" or "tons" but it was Rome's army at full force that had surrounded the city and temple and SLAUGHTERED practically everyone and destroyed the temple, walls, and city for the most part.
There were also joined by the host of hell and there are even secular accounts of the horror that happened in the city as God's judgment came upon it. Straight demonic horrors that sound like they were poured out of bowls.
No one....However, today China can.
Perhaps parts of Revelation correspond directly to what happened in 70 AD but, that passage is not even from Revelation, it is in the Gospels just after a long list of events Jesus lists that will happen before "these things" take place. And, those events never happened in the first century.
If Revelation leads to AD70 then the Millennial Reign of Christ on the earth followed - per Revelation 19, and this is followed by Eternity.
Thus AD 70 - AD 1070 Christ reigned her on earth - No!
and the situation we are in is Eternity - No!
So you've been taught but that's not what holds up when we look at the entirety of scripture.
Pre-millennial dispensationalism is the greatest lie the devil ever told and has done more damage to the church than anything else.

Yes, it's because eschatology and theology do matter so much that I hold to a biblical, pre-millennial, dispensational position. It's the position that's most consistent with the totality of scripture.
Then why did that eschatological position only become popular after the Schofield reference Bible was published a couple of hundred years ago and it was the first Bible with footnotes that taught that very much uncommon and unpopular astrological position?
I used to be a dispy. The amount of leaps and logic that you have to take for dispensationalism versus post-millennialism or even a millennialism versus what the scriptures say especially in conjunction with historical events is night and day.
Eh, I had a Bible that titled it "The Revelations of John" or something to that effect, guess it just stuck
No worries, just a weird pet peeve I have that bugs the crap outta me for some reason.
As long as you understand the book better than you remember the name you're gold! The guy that made that webpage deff does not.
Don't confuse the Book of Matthew with the Book of Revelation.
The destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD was indeed a fulfillment of the 490 year prophecy laid out in Daniel.
Dispensationalism is indeed a false doctrine, but the Book of Revelation most definitely goes beyond 70 AD.
Oh I'm not. I just have a clear understanding of the symbolism in Revelation.
i.e. 7 headed, 7 horned beast = Rome had 7 hills / territories with 7 governors.
666 = Nero Cesar written in Hebrew since Hebrew letters also have numerical values.
And on and on.
Post-Mill all the way!
Christ could have returned 10 minutes after he left. Nothing has to happen first otherwise one could figure out the time.
He came on the clouds in judgment and destroyed Jerusalem already.
When Christ returns again that's in, it's a wrap. Game Over.
