The Thaw of Revelation 131 substance, bore the character, and must rule the interpretation, of the later and larger revelation.28 Farrar speaks of Revelation as John’s “stormy comment upon the great discourse of our Lord on 01ivet.”2 g J. Stuart Russell puts the matter as strongly as any commentator: And here we find an explanation of what must have struck most thoughtful readers of the evangelic history as extremely singular, namely, the total absence in the Fourth Gospel of that which occupies so conspicuous a place in the Synoptical Gospels, – the great prophecy of our Lord on the Mount of Olives. The silence of, St. John in his gospel is the more remarkable in that he was one of the four favoured disciples who listened to that discourse; yet, in his gospel we find no trace of it whatever. . . . But the difficulty is explained if it should be found that th Apoca&pse is nothing else than a transfigured form oft/u prophe~ on the Mount of Oliues.30 If, as seems likely, Revelation is indeed John’s exposition of the Olivet Discourse, we must remember that in the delivery of the Discourse the Lord emphasized that it focused on Israel (Matt. 24:1, 2, 15-16; cp. Matt. 23:32ff.) and was to occur in His generation (Matt. 24:34). Conclusion With these several contextual indicators before us, it would seem certain that the theme of Revelation deals with Christ’s Judgment- Coming upon the gerwratwn of those Jews who cructjied Him. As Desprez noted of this theme verse in conjunction with the temporal expectations of the book: “NO scriptural statement is capable of more decided proof than that the coming of Christ is the destruction of <strong>Jerusalem</strong>, and the close of the Jmish dispensation.”31 Such being the case, only a pre-A.D. 70 date could be expected, for what event subsequent to the A.D. 70 destruction of the Temple parallels the magnitude and covenantal significance of this event? Surely the destruction of the Jewish Temple (accomplished now for over 1900 years) and the gruesome Jewish 28. Bernard, Progress of Doctrine, p. 201. 29. Frederic W. Farrar, The Ear@ DqM ~ ChristianiU (New York: Cassell, 1884), p. 428. 30. Russell, Parowia, p. 374, 31. Desprez, Apoca~@, p. 9 (emphasis in original).
132 BEFORE JERUSALEM FELL War with Rome must be in view here. In terms of Jewish calamity and woe, what events near the reign of Domitian could equal those that transpired just after Nero’s reign? This evidence is all the more compelling when, in the next chapter, we consider it in terms of the temporal expectation of the author.
