Sermons From the Book of Revelation
By Bobby Stafford

|
Revelation promises a blessing to every disciple who reads, hears,
and keeps its words (Revelation 1:3). This book unveils Jesus to
suffering saints and calls us to faithful endurance with living
hope. We begin by hearing what the first hearers heard and
by obeying what Christ reveals. |
|
Greeting
the Christians
Lesson 2
Revelation greets the churches with an unveiling from God
through Jesus Christ, given “in signs,” near in its
beginning, and sure in its comfort. It blesses those who
hear and keep its words and anchors faith in the risen Lord
who reigns and returns (Revelation 1:1–8). |
|
John’s Vision of Christ
Lesson 3
Revelation 1:9–20 shows the risen
Lord among His churches. John, exiled on Patmos for the gospel,
hears a trumpet-like voice and sees Christ in glory—the First and
the Last—holding the churches and speaking by His living word. This
vision strengthens endurance, holiness, and hope.
|
|
Revelation 2:1–7 records the Lord’s word to Ephesus. Christ knows
every congregation and every soul. He commends their labor and
discernment, exposes a cooled love, prescribes repentance, warns of
removal, and promises paradise to those who overcome. Text:
Revelation 2:1–7.
|
|
Revelation 2:8–11
records Christ’s letter to Smyrna, a faithful congregation pressed
by persecution. Hearing and keeping His words brings blessing
(Revelation 1:3). Here the risen Lord strengthens courage and
promises the crown of life to those who endure.
|
|
Pergamos
(The Church in Hell’s Headquarters)
Lesson 6
Revelation 2:12–17 records Christ’s searching letter to
Pergamos, a church standing for the truth in a city
saturated with idolatry and emperor worship. Here the Lord,
“He who has the sharp two-edged sword,” calls His people to
courageous fidelity, firm discipline, and repentant hearts
under His all-seeing gaze.
|
|
Thyatira (The Church
That Condoned Sin)
Lesson 7
Revelation 2:18–29 records the Lord’s message to Thyatira—a
hardworking congregation that tolerated corrupt teaching.
Christ, whose eyes are like a flame of fire, searches hearts
and minds and calls His people to repent and hold fast to
what is true.
|
|
Sardis (The Dead
Church)
Lesson 8
Revelation 3:1–6):
Jesus’ message to Sardis exposes spiritual death behind a
lively reputation and summons the church to wake, strengthen
what remains, remember the truth, and repent before sudden
judgment arrives.
|
|
Philadelphia,
the Church of Brotherly Love
Lesson 9
Revelation 3:7–13 records Christ’s message to Philadelphia, a
faithful church living in an earthquake-prone, temple-filled city.
Jesus presents Himself as holy, true, and sovereign with the key of
David, opening and shutting by divine authority. This word
strengthens perseverance, promises help, and guards the crown of
life.
|
|
Laodicea, The Lukewarm
Church
Lesson 10
(Revelation 3:14–22):
Jesus’ letter to Laodicea exposes the peril of lukewarm
faith and calls His people to zeal, repentance, and
fellowship with Him who is “the Amen, the faithful and true
Witness.”

|
The
Throne of Jesus
Lesson 11
(Revelation 4:1–11):
John is shown a door opened in heaven and a throne set
there, revealing God’s sovereign power, the worship of
heaven, and the hope that sustains suffering saints
(Revelation 4:1–11).
|
|
Worthy Is the Lamb
Lesson 12
(Revelation 5:1–14):
Revelation 5 unveils heaven’s worship centered on the Son:
the slain yet reigning Lamb alone opens God’s sealed scroll
and secures the church’s future (Revelation 5:1–14).
|
|
When the Lamb Opens the
Seals
Lesson 13
Revelation 6 reveals what unfolds when the slain-and-risen
Lamb opens the seals. The vision strengthens persecuted
saints by showing Christ’s rule over history and God’s
certain judgment. (Revelation 6:1–17; cf. Revelation 4–5)
|
|
Who Can
Stand? The Interlude of Revelation 7
Lesson 14
In Revelation 7:1–17, John pauses between the sixth and
seventh seals to answer a urgent question from chapter 6:
“Who is able to stand?” God seals His servants and reveals a
victorious multitude before His throne.
|
(Revelation 8:1-13)
shows that even in
the silence of
heaven, God listens
to the cries of His
people and acts in
His perfect time to
bring justice and
comfort to those who
are faithful to Him.
|
(Revelation 9:1–21):
Revelation 9 unveils the fifth and sixth trumpets: God
permits fearful woes, limits their reach, distinguishes His
sealed people, and summons the persecuting world to repent.
These visions assure the saints that heaven hears prayer and
rules history in perfect wisdom and time. |
|
Revelation 10: God’s
Little Book of Revelation
Lesson 17
Revelation 10 serves as an interlude between the sixth and
seventh trumpets, reminding us that God’s judgments are
never random but perfectly timed. This brief “intermission”
reveals a mighty angel, a little book, and the assurance
that God’s plan is nearly complete (Revelation 10:1–3). |
Revelation 11:1–10 reveals how God measures, protects, and
empowers His people even in seasons of persecution. This
lesson encourages believers to remain faithful, reminding us
that God limits the time of suffering and assures victory to
His church through the power of His Word. |
|
The
Seventh Trumpet: God’s Final Victory
Lesson 19
(Revelation 11:11–19)
As Revelation unfolds, the curtain of history is drawn back
to reveal God’s power over all kingdoms. Revelation 11:11–19
declares the resurrection of God’s witnesses, the sounding
of the seventh trumpet, and the final victory of Christ’s
kingdom over all earthly powers. |
|
The
Woman, the Dragon, and the Child
Lesson 20
(Revelation 12:1–6)
Revelation 12 begins the second major section of John’s
vision, portraying the unseen spiritual battle behind the
church’s persecution. This lesson reveals God’s power,
Satan’s rage, and the triumph of faith through Christ’s
birth and victory. |
|
Revelation 12: War in Heaven and Satan’s Defeat
Lesson 21
Revelation 12:7–17 reveals the unseen spiritual war between
God and Satan, showing that the dragon’s defeat is already
sealed through the power of Christ. This vision gave
first-century Christians courage to endure persecution by
reminding them that God reigns, Satan has lost, and victory
belongs to the faithful. |
(Revelation 13:1–10)
The thirteenth chapter of Revelation gives us one of the
most vivid images in all Scripture—a beast rising from the
sea, empowered by Satan and representing the evil Roman
Empire that persecuted God’s people. This vision was meant
to strengthen Christians under persecution and to show that
victory belongs to those who persevere in faith. |
|
The Second Beast
Lesson 23
Revelation 13:11–18,
Revelation 13 reveals a second beast who appears harmless
yet speaks with the voice of a dragon. This vision shows how
Satan used deception and false religion in the first century
to persecute the church and how those who remain faithful to
God will always overcome. |
(Revelation 14:1–5) opens with a vision of triumph and victory for
God’s faithful people. After the dark scenes of persecution
in chapters 12 and 13, John reveals the Lamb standing on
Mount Zion surrounded by the redeemed. This is a message of
courage and eternal hope for those who remain steadfast in
their faith. |
(Revelation 14:1–13) — John’s vision of the Lamb on Mount
Zion gave persecuted Christians courage and assurance. In
the darkest time of Rome’s oppression, God showed them that
Christ reigns, the faithful are known by name, and victory
belongs to those who die in the Lord. |
|
Revelation 15,
Great and Marvelous:
The Seven Last Plagues
Lesson 26
(Revelation 15:1)
John’s vision in Revelation 15 reveals the final display of
God’s wrath against those who persecuted His people. It
reminds us that God’s judgments are perfect, complete, and
sure, while the faith of His saints endures through
suffering. |
|
The Seven Bowls of
Wrath
Lesson 27
(Revelation 16:1–16)
Revelation 16 reveals God’s complete and final judgment upon
the wicked Roman Empire that persecuted His people. These
bowls of wrath represent the full measure of His justice
poured out without restraint. Text: Revelation 16:1–16. |
|
The Seventh Bowl and
the Battle of Armageddon
Lesson 28
(Revelation 16:13–21)
Revelation 16 reveals God’s final judgments upon those who
persecuted His people. These visions of wrath remind us that
God’s justice is sure, His promises are complete, and His
people are secure. The pouring out of the seventh bowl and
the mention of Armageddon declare that God’s victory is
total and final. |
|
The Great Harlot and
the Beast
Lesson 29
(Revelation 17:1–18), Revelation 17 reveals
the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters.
Through first-century eyes, this chapter unveils God’s
message of comfort and victory to Christians suffering under
the Roman Empire, assuring them that the persecuting power
of Rome would fall by God’s righteous hand. |
|
The Fall
of Babylon: God’s Judgment and the Christian’s Rejoicing
Lesson 30
Revelation 18 reveals the final judgment of God against the
wicked Roman Empire, symbolized as Babylon the Great.
Through this vision, Christians in the first century were
reminded that God’s justice is sure, His promises are true,
and His people’s victory is certain. |
|
Revelation 19 – The Marriage of the Lamb and Heaven’s
Rejoicing
Lesson 31
(Revelation 19:1–10)
This passage records the rejoicing of heaven and earth after
the downfall of the Roman Empire—the great persecutor of
God’s people. It serves as God’s divine answer to the
martyrs’ cry in Revelation 6:10, “How long, O Lord, until
You avenge our blood?” |
|
The
Rider on the White Horse
Lesson 32
Revelation 19:11–21 gives believers a glimpse of Christ’s
glorious triumph. This vision assured the first-century
church that their suffering under Rome was not forgotten.
God’s judgment was certain, His promises secure, and victory
belonged to Christ, the Faithful and True Witness. |
|
Premillennialism and Revelation 20
Lesson 33
(A
Study of False Foundations), Revelation 20 is often misunderstood and misused by millions
who believe in the theory of premillennialism. This doctrine
claims that Christ will return to establish an earthly
kingdom, yet it is built on assumptions the Bible never
teaches. |
|
The
Final Defeat of Satan
Lesson 34
(Revelation 20:1–10)
Revelation 20 shows the end of Satan’s power and the victory
of the faithful. God assures His people that evil will not
triumph, no matter how fierce the persecution appears. |
|
The Final Judgment —
Revelation 20
Lesson 35
Revelation 20:11–15 presents the final judgment before the
great white throne. Every person will stand before Christ to
be judged. This passage reveals the eternal destiny of every
soul and the final defeat of Satan and evil. |
(Revelation 21:1–8)
John’s vision of the new heaven and new earth gives every
believer hope beyond measure. It assures us that God has
prepared an eternal home where pain, sorrow, and death are
gone forever, and where those who overcome will dwell in His
presence eternally. |
(Revelation 21:9–27)
John’s vision of the New Jerusalem reveals the eternal home
of the faithful. Written to first-century Christians
enduring persecution under Rome, this passage reminds
believers that their suffering would end and that
everlasting joy awaited them in the presence of God. |
(Revelation
22:1–7)
Revelation 22 gives one of the most beautiful and hopeful pictures
in all of Scripture. It portrays the final condition of the
faithful—the redeemed in the presence of God. John describes a
paradise regained, where the curse of sin is gone, life flows
freely, and God’s people dwell forever in His light. |
Revelation 22:12–21,
Revelation closes with Christ’s sure promise, a universal
invitation, and a solemn warning. These final words steady
persecuted saints and summon every hearer to faithful
obedience and living hope. |

Commentary and Study Guide For the Book of Revelation
By David Hersey
|
|
Understanding Revelation
(Lesson 1)
This lesson
introduces the symbolic language of apocalyptic writing and reveals why
early Christians understood Revelation clearly. Discover how God used
coded imagery to protect and encourage persecuted believers, delivering
a timeless message of hope, perseverance, and ultimate victory in
Christ. |
|
Symbolic Objects in Revelation
(Lesson 2)
The book of
Revelation speaks in signs, not sentences. To understand its message, we
must recognize its symbolic language. This chapter explores how
first-century Christians understood the objects and imagery in
Revelation, unlocking the deeper spiritual truths behind beasts, colors,
numbers, and other inspired symbols. |
|
Understanding the Numerical Symbolism in Revelation
(Lesson 3)
Revelation uses
numbers with deep symbolic meanings, conveying spiritual truths through
imagery familiar to first-century Christians. This lesson explores how
numbers like 3½, 7, 10, 12, and 144,000 were interpreted, helping us
unlock Revelation’s message. Understanding these patterns aids us in
grasping God’s true intent behind this prophetic book. |
|
Identifying the Opposition Characters in Revelation
(Lesson 4)
To truly
understand Revelation, we must identify its key characters—both good and
evil. This lesson shows how scripture and history confirm that faithful
Christians were the “saints,” while Satan and Imperial Rome were the
true enemies. Their ancient conflict reveals timeless truths for
Christians facing opposition and persecution today. |
|
John’s introduction to Revelation sets the tone for a
divine message of hope and endurance during intense persecution. This
lesson unpacks the book’s opening verses, highlighting its authorship,
authority, audience, and symbolism. Understanding these foundations is
key to interpreting Revelation through the eyes of its original,
first-century readers. |
|
John's Vision of Jesus Christ
(Revelation 1:10-20) (Lesson 6)
This
lesson explores John's awe-inspiring vision of Jesus Christ in
Revelation 1:10–20. Rich in symbolism, it offers comfort to believers
while concealing its meaning from enemies of the cross. Understanding
this vision prepares readers for the deeper revelations that follow and
strengthens their faith in the living Christ. |
|
This lesson explores the once-thriving church in Ephesus,
praised for diligence but rebuked for abandoning its first love. Through
Revelation 2, we examine their fall, Christ’s warning, and the urgent
call to repent. The message remains clear today: faithfulness without
love endangers our standing before the Lord.` |
|
Smyrna, the Suffering Church
(Lesson 8)
Smyrna, a wealthy
yet pagan city, was home to a faithful but persecuted church. Surrounded
by idolatry and hostility, these Christians endured poverty and
tribulation with unwavering faith. Jesus offered no rebuke—only
encouragement, promising the crown of life to those who remained
faithful unto death. Their example still inspires today. |
|
Pergamum, the city in Hell's Headquarters
(Lesson 9)
Pergamum stood as
a beacon of paganism, emperor worship, and satanic influence in Asia
Minor. Amid fierce persecution, a church of Christ endured, but some
compromised. Christ praised their faith yet warned against tolerating
false doctrine. This message calls Christians today to resist compromise
and remain steadfast in truth. |
|
Thyatira (The church that condoned sin)
(Lesson 10)
The church at
Thyatira was praised for its love, faith, service, and perseverance—but
sharply rebuked for tolerating sin. This lesson examines Jesus’ message
to Thyatira in Revelation 2, uncovering powerful warnings,
commendations, and promises that still guide us today as we strive to
remain faithful and pure in His sight. |
|
Sardis (The Dead Church)
(Lesson 11)
Sardis was a
wealthy city with a glorious past but a decaying present. Its church
mirrored the city—alive in name but spiritually dead. This lesson
explores Jesus' piercing rebuke to Sardis in Revelation 3:1–6, calling
for watchfulness, repentance, and renewed life before the final
opportunity for salvation is lost. |
|
Philadelphia (The church with Opportunity)
(Lesson 12)
Philadelphia
stands apart from the other churches in Revelation, not for its size or
strength, but for its unwavering faith. Amid paganism and pressure, it
remained loyal to Christ. This lesson explores Jesus’ commendation, the
open door He sets before them, and the promise of eternal identity for
overcomers. |
|
Laodicea (The Lukewarm Church)
(Lesson 13)
Laodicea, the
final church addressed by Jesus, was condemned for being
lukewarm—neither hot nor cold. Though rich in worldly goods, they were
spiritually poor. This lesson examines their history, Christ’s rebuke,
and His call to repentance. It challenges us to avoid complacency and
reignite our zeal for the Lord. |
|
The Letter to Your Church
(Lesson 14)
The seven
letters to the churches in Revelation reveal exactly what Jesus expects
of His people. Each commendation, rebuke, and command is for all
churches—not just ancient ones. This lesson combines the strengths,
failures, and exhortations from all seven, giving us a clear picture of
what Christ desires in His church today. |
|
John's Throne Vision (Chapter 4)
(Lesson 15)
Revelation 4 lifts
the curtain on heaven, unveiling God’s throne in all its glory. Before
unveiling future events, the Spirit first anchors us in the sovereignty
of God. This vision reminds every Christian that no matter the trial,
God reigns—worthy of worship, surrounded by purity, and exalted above
all creation. |
|
God the Redeemer Revealed
(Revelation 5)
(Lesson 16)
Revelation 5 continues the awe-inspiring throne scene of chapter 4,
revealing Jesus Christ as the Lamb who is worthy to open the sealed
book. Under Roman persecution, Christians are comforted with a vivid
reminder: God reigns supreme, and Christ alone holds the authority over
history, redemption, and final judgment.
|
|
God, the Avenger of His Children (Revelation
6)
(Lesson 17)
Revelation 5 continues the awe-inspiring throne scene of chapter 4,
revealing Jesus Christ as the Lamb who is worthy to open the sealed
book. Under Roman persecution, Christians are comforted with a vivid
reminder: God reigns supreme, and Christ alone holds the authority over
history, redemption, and final judgment. |
|
Who Will Be Able to Stand?
(Revelation 7)
(Lesson 18)
God delays
judgment until every soul that can be saved is saved. Revelation 7
offers a powerful picture of divine mercy, protection, and ultimate
victory. In the face of persecution and wrath, the faithful are sealed,
preserved, and gathered before God's throne—washed, victorious, and able
to stand in the end.
|
(Revelation 8)
(Lesson 19)
The
sounding of the first four trumpets in Revelation 8 signals the
beginning of God’s retribution on Rome for persecuting His people. These
trumpet judgments, filled with vivid imagery, call the empire to
repentance. This chapter reminds us that God's justice is sure,
purposeful, and ultimately seeks redemption over destruction. |
|
The
fifth trumpet introduces a terrifying yet selective plague that targets
only the unrighteous. Using symbolic locusts, this vision describes
God's judgment upon the immoral Roman Empire. Faithful Christians are
spared. This passage reveals how sin carries within it the seed of its
own torment, and righteousness remains the safest refuge. |
|
The Sixth Trumpet Announcement (Revelation
9:13-21)
(Lesson 21)
The
sixth trumpet unveils another wave of divine judgment—fierce military
invasions symbolized by vast cavalry forces, especially from beyond the
Euphrates. Rome’s enemies, including the Parthians, become tools in
God's hand. Yet despite immense suffering, the unrepentant continue in
idolatry and sin. The message: judgment intensifies when hearts harden
against truth. |
|
The Little Book and the
Unutterable Thunders
(Revelation 10)
(Lesson 22)
Between
the sixth and seventh trumpets, John sees a mighty angel with a little
open book and hears seven thunders. Though their message is sealed, John
is told to eat the book—sweet yet bitter. This vision signals God's
judgment is nearing completion and reminds believers that God's Word is
both joyful and sobering. |
|
The Seventh Trumpet Announcement (Revelation
11)
(Lesson 23)
Revelation 11
unveils the final trumpet in a vision of spiritual warfare between
righteousness and evil. The faithful are measured, the church is
persecuted, and God's witnesses testify through tribulation. Though the
enemy appears to triumph, God's power prevails. The seventh trumpet
sounds, declaring Christ’s eternal reign and judgment. |
|
The
Conflict (Revelation 12)
(Lesson 24)
Revelation 12
introduces a powerful vision of a radiant woman, a great red dragon, and
a male child caught up to God. This chapter unveils the spiritual war
behind earthly trials, emphasizing Satan’s defeat, Christ’s triumph, and
the church’s endurance through persecution by holding fast to the blood
of the Lamb. |
|
Revelation 13 (Identification of
the First Beast)
(Lesson 25)
Understanding the first beast of Revelation 13 requires examining the
context of first-century Christians and the symbolic language familiar
to them. Rather than a future world power, this beast represents a
present and persecuting empire—imperial Rome—personified in Emperor
Domitian, empowered by Satan to wage war against the faithful. |
|
Revelation 13 (Identification of the Second Beast)
(Lesson 26)
The second beast
of Revelation 13 arises from the earth and supports the first, using
deception and coercion to enforce emperor worship. Likely representing
the Roman Concilia or Imperial Cult, it played a crucial role in
persecuting Christians, revealing Satan’s multilayered strategy to
destroy the faithful through political and religious powers. |
|
Chapter 14 (The Victorious Lamb and the Redeemed ) Rev
14:1-6
(Lesson 27)
In the wake of
fierce persecution and looming death, Revelation 14 opens with a vision
of hope. Christ stands victorious on Mount Zion with the redeemed,
sealed and faithful. This powerful imagery assured first-century
Christians—and assures us today—that God's kingdom is unshakable and His
faithful ones will overcome. |
|
Revelation 14 (The Turning Point) Rev
14:6-13
(Lesson 28)
Revelation 14
marks a major shift—from warnings to promised judgment. God’s people are
called to remain faithful amid persecution, as His wrath nears.
Figurative language shields the message from Roman authorities but
clearly reveals the fall of Rome and the eternal consequences of
disobedience to Christ. |
|
Revelation 14 (The Sickle and the Winepress) Rev
14:14-20
(Lesson 29)
This dramatic
passage reveals God’s judgment using vivid harvest imagery. While some
see dual judgments, the context suggests one decisive act of wrath
against evil. Through symbolic language of sickles and the winepress,
persecuted Christians are assured that God’s justice is certain, final,
and terrifying for His enemies. |
|
Chapter 15 (Comfort for the Saints)
(Lesson 30)
Revelation 15
provides a powerful image of comfort to persecuted Christians. God has
heard the cries of the martyrs and is now ready to unleash His full
wrath on their oppressors. This chapter reassures the faithful: God's
justice is certain, His presence is active, and His victory is near. |
Chapter 16 (Bowls of Wrath)
(Lesson 31)
In Revelation 16, God's final
judgments are revealed through seven symbolic bowls of wrath. These
dramatic visions assured persecuted Christians that divine justice would
ultimately overthrow Imperial Rome. Behind the figurative language lies
a powerful truth: God sees, God judges, and God will deliver His
faithful ones in due time. |
Chapter 16 (The Battle of Armageddon)
(Lesson 32)
The Battle of Armageddon has long
stirred speculation, but Revelation presents it as a spiritual conflict,
not a literal war. Written to first-century Christians facing brutal
persecution, John’s vision assured them—and us—that righteousness will
prevail. By examining the original context, we uncover its true meaning
and enduring application. |
Chapter 17 (The Scarlet Woman)
(Lesson 33)
Revelation 17 reveals the identity
and judgment of the great harlot who rides the beast—symbolic of
Imperial Rome. Drunk with the blood of the saints and clothed in
spiritual fornication, she represents the oppressive empire that
enforced emperor worship. God promises her destruction, assuring victory
to His faithful people. |
Chapter 18 (Fallen is Babylon)
(Lesson 34)
Revelation 18 paints a vivid
picture of Rome’s final downfall. Once the oppressive powerhouse of the
ancient world, this “Babylon” falls under divine judgment for its
immorality, idolatry, and persecution of Christians. The chapter assures
believers that God sees, remembers, and will repay—completely and
righteously—in His time. |
King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Chapter
19)
(Lesson
35)
Revelation 19 reveals heaven’s triumphant celebration over the fall of
Rome and introduces the righteous warrior—Jesus Christ—who executes
final judgment. The faithful rejoice as the true King, not Domitian or
any emperor, is revealed. God’s justice is affirmed, His bride is
prepared, and His enemies are eternally defeated. |
The Fall of Satan
(Chapter 20)
(Lesson
36)
Revelation 20 presents the ultimate defeat of Satan, the mastermind
behind Rome’s brutal persecution of Christians. While the beast and
false prophet are already judged, Satan’s judgment is final and eternal.
This chapter has been misused to teach Premillennialism, but its true
message is one of victory, justice, and eternal hope. |
Heaven, the Home of the Soul
(Chapter 21)
(Lesson
37)
Revelation 21 reveals the Christian’s ultimate reward—heaven, the
eternal home of the soul. After visions of persecution, judgment, and
the fall of evil powers, we are shown a glorious city where God dwells
with His people. No more death, sorrow, or pain—only everlasting peace,
light, and joy for the faithful. |
The Spirit and the Bride Say Come
(Chapter 22)
(Lesson
38)
Revelation 22 concludes John's vision of Heaven—a place of life,
healing, and unbroken fellowship with God. The curse is gone, the water
of life flows freely, and the invitation to come is extended to all. It
is a fitting end to the Revelation: a final call, a lasting promise, and
eternal hope. |
The Dating of the Revelation
(Lesson 39)
The date of the book of Revelation
is a crucial key to properly understanding its meaning. Some believe it
was written before the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, while others
place it later. This study presents compelling scriptural and historical
evidence supporting a date during Emperor Vespasian’s reign, after AD
70. |
