Since the Book of Revelation was written
after the First Coming of Jesus, its prophe-
cies must refer to later events.

The first words of the book speak of "things
which shortly must come to pass."

Therefore we can reasonably assume that
the fulfillment of the Book of Revelation
began immediately after 96 A.D. And that
the first three chapters refer to events that
successively happened during the Church
Age.
