Geektober gets apocalyptic! When we talk about “dating Revelation,” we aren’t taking the last book of the Bible out to dinner — we’re asking when John actually wrote it down, and why a gap of just a few decades changes the entire story! Why did Ryan get dragged “kicking and screaming” from the late date to the early date after a year-long study? Who’s the mysterious “great city” where the Lord was crucified, and why is John told to measure a temple that hasn’t been knocked down yet? How does connecting Revelation to Jesus’ warnings in Matthew 23 and 24 bring the whole Old Testament covenant arc to a satisfying close without falling into false AD 70 doctrines? Join us for a fast-paced mini-episode that swaps out the frog for the turtle so the Bible’s final punchline finally clicks!

The Big Idea: The book of Revelation beautifully concludes the Bible’s written story.

This Week's Challenge: Read Revelation 11:8, 17:18, and 18:24 alongside Matthew 23:34–38. What connections do you notice?
