When was the Book of Revelation written—and why does that question carry so much weight in how Christians read it? In this episode, we slow down one of the most heated debates surrounding Revelation by carefully examining the early and late date options, weighing external church testimony and internal textual clues without turning the discussion into a theological power struggle. Rather than using the date as a weapon, we ask what the evidence can responsibly support, what remains possible, and where speculation begins. Along the way, we explore how dating influences preterist, futurist, idealist, and historicist readings—while keeping Jesus and His churches at the center of the book. This episode isn’t a detour, but a necessary tool for reading Revelation with humility, clarity, and faithfulness.
