RevelationSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explains in this talk that while many scholars believe that the Book of Revelation was written in 96 AD, some hold opposing views. The internal evidence suggests that the book was written during the reign of Nero, leading to him being a convincing candidate for the number 666. However, it is not necessary to know the exact date of writing to understand the fundamental message of the book. The point is to look at the scriptures and study the teachings of Jesus.
