I thought I should share this.
I have a preteristic view when it comes to Revelation. But these are just my opinions. Out of Western Five, I think Revelation is the only book that had an Aramaic Original. But Original no longer exists. And I don't think Four Epistles in Western Five are written by Apostles. But by somebody else.
I think Revelation was foreshadowing Nero's attack on Christians, and the fall of Jerusalem Temple in 70 AD. Not exactly the end of the world. But the end of times for the people who lived in Jerusalem and also Christians who lived during that time. Nero had a nickname of "Beast." Nero was also called Lucius Domitius Ahenobarbus, because his father's name was Domitius. This may explain why some Historians thought Revelation was written during the time of Emperor Domitian.
Since this book isn't part of Peshitta, I don't think I should explain more about Revelation in this thread.
