Yes. And the “rock” is Peter. Quo Vadis?

I’m pretty sure the Apocalypse of St John was written for his contemporaries. (ca 90 AD) I’m also pretty sure a case can be (has been) made that all he prophesied has already come to fruition.

Maybe we’re already there but haven’t yet fully awakened to the reality. Perhaps the “second coming” already happened. Perhaps the “fullness of the gentiles” is the billions of Christian believers. I try to live as if that’s true. If Christ is in us and we’re here then He’s here with us, as always “both now and forever and unto the ages of ages. Amen”

If someone from the 1st century AD time traveled to our age they’d be sure they were in Heaven. Ordinary people live far better than kings of old. They’d certainly be fascinated by aluminum foil, (for instance) and the harnessing of electromotive force that made it possible. (Bauxite is smelted with high voltage) It’s a minor miracle to us, eclipsed by even greater achievements we yet take for granted. Heaven? This is it! Behave appropriately.
