Did Irenaeus really teach that Revelation was written during the reign of Domitian? In Episode 11 of the Revelation Series, Jay Rogers examines one of the most frequently cited arguments for the late date of Revelation and asks whether the evidence has been misunderstood for centuries. The famous statement from Irenaeus is often presented as the decisive proof that Revelation was written in the 90s AD. But what did Irenaeus actually mean? And does the original Greek support the common interpretation?
In this episode:
The famous "time of Domitian" statement
The disputed Greek grammar behind the passage
Why this quotation became so influential
The implications for the dating of Revelation
How the debate affects the identity of the Beast and the fall of Jerusalem
Could the strongest argument for the late date actually be weaker than many assume?
