Futurists use the historical situation of Laodicea and Smyrna to suggest that Revelation could not have been written before AD 70. We will show how they have misinterpreted both Scripture and History, and that history and archaeology both show that these churches were alive and well at the time John wrote Revelation in AD 62.

Rom 1-3 – Bad News First
