Did Jesus Predict All of This? [Eschatology Matters]

Did the apostles expect prophecy to be fulfilled in their own generation? In Episode 10 of the Revelation Series, Jay Rogers brings together the major events of the first century—Nero's persecution, the ministries and deaths of Peter and Paul, the writing of Revelation, and the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Rather than treating these events as unrelated pieces of history, this episode examines how they may fit together as part of the prophetic framework Jesus described decades earlier. In this episode: Nero's persecution of the early church The martyrdom of Peter and Paul The dating and purpose of Revelation The destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple The significance of AD 70 in biblical prophecy How the apostles understood the "last days" What if the apostles were not warning about events thousands of years in the future, but about a crisis rapidly approaching their own generation? This episode explores how prophecy, history, and the mission of the early church converged in the first century.
