The sermon presents a comprehensive case for a post-70 AD dating of the Book of Revelation, arguing that internal and external evidence strongly supports its composition during the reign of Emperor Domitian (94–96 AD) rather than before the destruction of Jerusalem. It refutes preterist claims that key symbols—such as the standing temple, the holy city, the number 666, and the seven heads of the beast—refer to first-century events or figures like Nero, demonstrating instead that these images are better understood as symbolic of broader historical patterns, including the rise and revival of imperial power and ecclesiastical authority. The sermon emphasizes that the prosperity of Laodicea, the emergence of heresies like the Nicolaitans, and the severity of Christ's rebuke to the church of Ephesus align more plausibly with a later date, allowing time for cultural and spiritual developments. It further highlights the consistent testimony of early church fathers, who uniformly place John's exile and authorship under Domitian, not Nero, and notes that Domitian's persecution extended into Asia Minor, where the seven churches were located, unlike Nero's more localized persecution. Ultimately, the sermon calls believers to not only gain theological knowledge but to cultivate godly wisdom by applying Scripture to daily life, underscoring that true wisdom arises from both understanding and obedience to God's truth.
