Let us examine five passages in Revelation that make it difficult for the claim that all of Revelation was fulfilled in A.D. 70.
I will show the verses and explain why many believers conclude they point to events still future.
1. Every eye seeing Christ’s return
Revelation opens with a statement about Christ’s coming.
“Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.”— Revelation 1:7 (KJV)
Why this challenges the A.D. 70 view
The verse says:
- every eye shall see him
- all kindreds of the earth
The destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 was not a visible global return of Christ.
It was a regional Roman military event.
Scripture elsewhere confirms Christ’s return will be visible worldwide:
“For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.” — Matthew 24:27 (KJV)
2. The resurrection of the dead
Revelation describes a resurrection event.
“And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus… and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”— Revelation 20:4 (KJV)
Why this matters
If Revelation was fulfilled in A.D. 70:
Where was the resurrection of martyrs?
Where is the thousand-year reign?
No historical record shows a literal resurrection of the dead at that time.
Other scriptures confirm a future resurrection:
“The hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice.”— John 5:28 (KJV)
3. Satan being bound
Revelation describes Satan being restrained.
“And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years.”— Revelation 20:2 (KJV)
The issue
If this happened in A.D. 70:
Why does evil still dominate the world?
Why does Scripture still describe Satan as active?
For example:
“Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” — 1 Peter 5:8 (KJV)
Satan clearly was not removed from influence in A.D. 70.
4. The final judgment of all mankind
Revelation describes a universal judgment.
“And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God… and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books.”— Revelation 20:12 (KJV)
Why this is significant
This describes:
- all the dead
- standing before God
- universal judgment
Nothing like this happened in A.D. 70.
Jesus also spoke of this same future judgment:
“When the Son of man shall come in his glory… before him shall be gathered all nations.”— Matthew 25:31–32 (KJV)
5. The new heaven and new earth
Revelation ends with the complete renewal of creation.
“And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.”— Revelation 21:1 (KJV)
And it says:
“There shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying.”— Revelation 21:4 (KJV)
The problem for the A.D. 70 interpretation
Death still exists.
Suffering still exists.
The earth has not yet been renewed.
Therefore, this part of Revelation is clearly still future.
The balanced understanding many Christians hold
Many scholars believe two things are true at once:
1️⃣ Some prophecies in the New Testament were fulfilled in A.D. 70 (especially parts of Matthew 24).
2️⃣ But Revelation also describes the final return of Christ and the end of the age.
This is why the book opens with a warning:
“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy.” — Revelation 1:3 (KJV)
✅ Summary
The A.D. 70 interpretation struggles to explain:
- The visible worldwide return of Christ
- The resurrection of the dead
- Satan being bound
- The final judgment of all people
- The new heaven and new earth
These events appear far larger than the fall of Jerusalem.

There is a strange connection between Revelation, Rome, and the number 666 that links directly to Nero and A.D. 70 — but also points beyond it. 🔎📜
