What do you think of this argument, Mike?
This book dates itself to late 68/early 69 AD. The five kings who have fallen are Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero.
The one who is, Se. Sulpicius Galba was assassinated in early 69.
A Jew writing this apocalyptic horseshit would have known of Josephus' declaration that Vespasian would be Emperor and indeed, he did last a short space of about 10 years after watching the short-lived "emperors" Otho and Vitellius destroy each other.
Quote:King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
Rev. 17:10
