It's common scholarly thought the gospels were wrote in the later half of the first century and not by the said authors.
Jesus And The Hidden Contradictions Of The Gospels

When was the Temple destroyed, 70AD. Please give chapter and verse about John writing about Jesus's return to earth. I see you didn't answer any of my questions. Which beast gives the mark, the one from the land or the one from the sea?
Scholars believe no such thing. All of the Jewish writers would have mentioned the destruction of the Temple, their most important real estate in the world, had they been writing after that incident. All of the writings occurred prior to that event. The Dead Sea Scrolls confirm it. How is it that you believe John wrote during his imprisonment, and on the other hand you think someone else wrote the book later. Pick a lane.
Not only did John "reveal" Christ's return but described where he would return, who would be with him, his appearance, and the reaction of the Jews when He does appear. AND the state of the world when He shows up. Revelation IS the chapter and verse about Christ's return.
And if this all happened already as you believe it has, you shouldn't have to ask who the beasts were. It should be old history. So which beast survived a mortal head wound? Who was he?
Truth is, the beast of the sea is the anti-Christ. The land beast is the false prophet. His job is to make sure that beast #1 is worshiped. Both are yet to be revealed.
Now on to my question.
If, as you believe, that John described what happened in his lifetime, then where is Christ that I may visit Him in His Temple? And if Satan has already been chained, it is an awfully long chain, don't you think? According to your calculations, Christ's millennial reign should have ended by now. How was it?
