The '''Book of Revelation''' or '''''Apocalypse''''', the closing book and the only prophetical book of the [[New Testament]] [[canon]]. The date of the writing of this book has generally been fixed at A.D. 96, in the reign of Domitian. There are some, however, who contend for an earlier date, A.D. 68 or 69, in the reign of Nero. Those who are in favour of the later date appeal to the testimony of the Christian father [[Irenaeus]], who received [[information]] [[relative]] to this [[book]] from those who had seen John face to face. He says that the Apocalypse “was seen no long time ago.”[http://www.ccel.org/ccel/easton/ebd2.html?term=Revelation,%20Book%20of]
