[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 5929528, member: 65823"] The time was persecution. They were killing Christians . Nero was hanging them on crosses , lighting them on fire so as to light up his garden at night. The book was written to encourage Christians living in that time to not deny Christ. Do not worship Caesar. It may mean your death, it may mean you will be marked and you or your family will not be able to get a job or buy food at the market. The greatest world power ever, Rome, is doing battle and trying to destroy the greatest spiritual kingdom ever, the church. No matter how bad it looks, no matter how much you suffer, the Church will be victorious. Stay faithful. The greatness of Rome is no more. The eternal kingdom, the Church, still stands, and will forever. What would John Kennedy, Stalin, Hitler, (all have been the "Man Of Sin) raptor fighter jets, Russia, China, if this happens in the Middle East 2000 years from now this is what that means, do to help and encourage first century Christians in the seven churches of Asia? Answer: Absolutely nothing. As to the date of the writing.. I lean more to the 90AD most of the time. [/QUOTE]
