Revelation 1:1 indicates that the author is telling the readers that the revelation is being brought to John by a messenger due to the events would soon take place. In Revelation 1:3 the reader is then told that they will be blessed who obeys its contents because the "time" was "near". In Genesis 27:41 the same language is employed by the writer to tell the reader that Esau was waiting to kill Jacob, but the days of mourning for his father were at hand, after those days would pass then he would kill his brother Jacob. Again, we have the term "at hand" indicating closeness of an event.

If God's Thousand Day Clock is the issue here, then how does it work with the above verses? No day is mentioned, but the reader is told the events will take place shortly and that time was at hand? We sit at 2,000 years later from this documents writings. But anyway, I await your explanation. Thank you again.

Do you think that Revelation events took place in 70 A.D.?
