Answer 1

According to the earliest testimony, John wrote the Revelation about 96 C.E., approximately 26 years after the destruction of Jerusalem. This would be toward the close of the reign of Emperor Domitian. In verification of this, Irenaeus in his “Against Heresies” (V, xxx) says of the Apocalypse: “For that was seen no very long time since, but almost in our day, towards the end of Domitian’s reign.” Eusebius and Jerome both agree with this testimony. Domitian was the brother of Titus, who led the Roman armies to destroy Jerusalem. He became emperor at the death of Titus, 15 years before the book of Revelation was written. He demanded that he be worshiped as god and assumed the title Dominus et Deus noster (meaning “Our Lord and God”). Emperor worship did not disturb those who worshiped false gods, but it could not be indulged in by the early Christians, who refused to compromise their faith on this point. Thus, toward the close of Domitian’s rule (81-96 C.E.), severe persecution came upon the Christians. It is thought that John was exiled to Patmos by Domitian. When Domitian was assassinated in 96 C.E., he was succeeded by the more tolerant emperor Nerva, who evidently released John. It was during this imprisonment on Patmos that John received the visions he wrote down.

Was Jesus ever mentioned in it? When was it written? Lot's of times.

Does it ever mention the Rapture anywhere in it? Absolutely not.

Lastly, do you believe in it? Absolutely

Answer 2

John wrote the book of revelations about A.D. 95 from Patmos Island.

Yes Jesus is mentioned in it, it is based on his return.

REgarding Rapture in Revelation include Rev 3:10-11; 4:1-2; 4:4 and 5:9-10;
6:2; 7:9-17; 11:3-12; 11:15-19; 12:5; 14:14-16; and 20:4.

Yes, I believe that end days will be just as they are described.

Answer 3

Tradition has it that it was John the Apostle who wrote the book while he was exiled on the island of Patmos.
Yeah, Jesus was mentioned in it many times. It was written around AD 90.
The Rapture is not explicitly mentioned, though some Christians like to take Chapter 7 as referring to the Rapture ('these are the people who have come out of the great tribulation').
Yes, I certainly believe in Revelation, and I believe it is still to be fulfilled.

Answer 4

1) The Book was written, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit from God, by John, a disciple of Jesus Christ, who was exiled to the Isle of Patmos.
2) Yes; Jesus is mentioned within it, in many passages throughout the Book.
3) The "rapture" is not mentioned, ( As a Christian, I personally, do not believe in a rapture.) .

Answer 5

The Watchtower teaches that the seven seals of the Apocalypse began to be unsealed in 1914 and in short order have been all unsealed, thereby beginning the events symbolized. besides the indisputable fact that, simply by fact this is obtrusive that the equipment did no longer crumple nor have each and each of the voters of earth exchange into panic bothered – simply by fact the prophecies define – the Society adroitly teaches that the unsealing of the 6th seal in ordinary terms set off off minor tremors as a preliminary to the massive One. How genuine looking is it, although, that God’s astonishing judgments have been unsealed almost a century in the past yet nevertheless have not been found out yet? what's the factor of the unsealing if it does no longer initiate up the truly judgments of God? The Society’s Grand Climax commentary makes Revelation anti-climatic. or perhaps although the Watchtower now accepts the obtrusive fact that the worldwide’s maximum suitable time of worry has no longer started yet, the Society’s seers nevertheless persist with different apocalyptic prophecies to the present previous and recent – prophecies which use comparable symbolism as is employed interior the phrasing linked with the opening of the 6th seal. case in point, Haggai 2:6-7, which reads: “For that's what Jehovah of armies has reported, ‘yet as quickly as—this is a short whilst—and that i'm rocking the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry floor. and that i will rock each and each of the countries, and the acceptable problems with each of the countries would desire to are available; and that i will fill this homestead with glory,’ Jehovah of armies has reported.” truthfully the rocking of that that's symbolized via the very heavens and the earth is a different, by no ability-to-be-repeated occurrence. in accordance to the Watchtower, although, Jehovah has been rocking the countries considering 1914. yet in view of the fact the worldwide has enjoyed a protracted era of increasing prosperity and relative stability simply by fact the top of the 2nd worldwide conflict the Society’s interpretations do no longer harmonize with fact.

Answer 6

The tradition is that John wrote the book of Revelation. Dating the composition of Revelation is complicated, but Nero A.D. 54-68 and Domitian A.D. 81-96 are the Roman emperors whose reigns correspond most closely with the persecutions reflected in the book. In Revelation 20:13 It talks about the rapture. Yes, I believe every word of it. It is God's Word.

Answer 7

It was written around A.D. 95 from Patmos. John wrote it. Jesus is mention in revelation and it doesn't speak of a pre-trib rapture but it does talk about the second coming of Christ.

Answer 9

It was written by the apostle John whilst he was on the isle of Patmos in c 96 the year of our Lord.
Christs earthly name Jesus is mentioned several times. It also uses figurative language to describe him such as: The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn from the dead, the Ruler of the kings of the earth, the First and the Last. Rev:1. Other chapters also name him as the Lamb of God and Michael the Archangel.
It speaks about the final battle on earth which is named Armagedon or in Hebrew Har-Magedon, which is God's war against His enemies.
It tells about the time when annointed ones will rise and join him to rule as kings and priests and tells about others who are resurrected to live again.
It is written in mostly symbolic language and I have yet to fully understand it.

Answer 10

John the apostle wrote it. He wrote it on the Island of Patmos. He probably wrote in about 70-90 A.D. when he was 80 or 90 years old. Jesus is mentioned repeatedly. Yes, it mentions the rapture; that's what it's mainly about. Yes, I believe wholeheartedly.
