Summary

The key question concerning the book of Revelation is "when was the book written?" If Ken Gentry is correct and the date is prior to 70AD then virtually all other prophecy pundits are wrong. This is why they won't address Ken's monumental work. Before Jerusalem Fell is a scholarly and thorough study of the dating of Revelation. This is a must-read for all serious students of prophecy regardless of their position.
