I know the first portion of Matthew 24 is about 70 AD, but Revelation, is completely different.
I think this holds as much weight as Ireneaus
The Syriac History of John, the Son of Zebedee makes reference to John’s banishment under Nero, who reigned from 54 to 68 AD. It states:
“After these things, when the Gospel was increasing by the hands of the Apostles, Nero, the unclean and impure and wicked king, heard all that had happened at Ephesus. And he sent and took all that the procurator had and imprisoned him; and laid hold of St. John and drove him into exile; and passed sentence on the city that it should be laid waste.”

In Matthew 24, the 7 Churches DID NOT exist yet
but Revelation begins with the Existence of the 7 Churches.
So, the 2 Books speak of different Events.
How are you so BLIND to not know in Matt, the 7 Churches DID NOT exist but in Revelation, they did ... AND... NEEDED to be CORRECTED, which Jesus told John what was wrong and John became Bishop and fixed it.

They actually line up really well, if you wanted you could research it with an open mind.
We obviously view it differently, but you have convinced yourself of certain things. I was just seeing how open you were to a discussion.
You really have to ignore the Holy Spirit to make them align. But then again, Calvinist always ignore the Holy Spirit to yank Verses out of place to create false doctrines.
Please do the research on the dating of John, I think you will find if your mind is open it was written before 70AD
How?
If I was confused here, we do have the Church Fathers, 10 tells us specifically the same thing I am saying.
Howe come their word is no good?
You that out of it and long gone?
I am as far from Calvinism as one can be!!
Yeah I was a deluded futurist too, self deception is very powerful.
PAPYRUS 98 (P98)
Nov 27, 2022 — It is a papyrus manuscript of the Book of Revelation. ... A tiny fragment that dates to about 100-150 A.D.
Papyrus 98, means they have settled that Revelation was written around 98 AD.
This TEST was conducted (([[[[LESS THAN]]])) ((6 Months ago))!
Take your ADVERSARY, Pre-Mill, Following selfs, run out the door and don't let the door hit ya on the way out!
It is a copy, not the original. I am pretty sure John was dead by 150AD
Okay I am done, you seem triggered because you are too emotionally invested in being right and in your view.
Papyrus 98 (in the Gregory–Aland numbering), designated by 𝔓98, is an early copy of the New Testament in Greek. It is a papyrus manuscript of the Book of Revelation.
The manuscript paleographically had been assigned to years 150–175.

...makes this portion of Your Post very Dangerous [[if your mind is open]]
Just How Open does Your mind need to remain to believe a LIE?
