1 Revelation Msg 1

There are at least four views of the Book of Revelation. We will identify them after we have discussed three issues. The four views are primarily centered on 1) the timing of the receipt of the message by the apostle John, and authorship 2) faulty hermeneutics, and 3) a lack of understanding that the entire Bible must be viewed as a whole unit. We call this “whole unit view” the whole council of God. We will address each of these three issues of authorship, timing of composition, hermeneutics and the whole council of God.
AUTHORSHIP & TIMING
The vast majority of biblical scholars’ favor identifying the apostle John as the human author and assign a date of 95 A.D. for the composition of the book. The arguments for the apostle’s
authorship rest upon a similarity of style and vocabulary as well as internal evidences within the books of John and 1 John.
