I don't understand. If John wrote Revelation in 96 AD, why did he write in future tense? I did some lookin' and saw that some said John wrote the book before the Destruction of Jerusalem. OK. However, newer evidence says that the date of 96 is probably the correct one. https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/1552-when-was-the-book-of-revelation-writtenBut if Jesus did come in 70, that was the extent of his ministry? The folk who fled into the mountains? Was there a shout and the dead rising? Every eye see Him? I don't think they did.

The folk who fled into the mountains? Was there a shout and the dead rising? Every eye see Him? I don't think they did. - I won't bother with Polycarp and them. They lied down on their beds and dreamed up nonsense.
- The angel of the Revelation dated the Book in plain and simple language. He said, "I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns." Rev. 17:7. See? No need for Polycarp and those deadbeats.
The angel continued: "The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are also seven kings. Five [kings] have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition." Rev. 17:9-11. - So in John's day (at the time he was given the vision), it was very near the end of the time under consideration: five kings had already fallen, and the one following the present was not going to reign very long at all. Then the truly terrible and horrible beast was going to arise. And "Babylon" would be burnt to the ground at his hand.
Don't you believe me? Then argue with the angel of the LORD: "The ten horns which you saw on the beast, these will hate the harlot, make her desolate and naked, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled." Rev. 17:16-17 - THE PROPHECY OF THE END OF JERUSALEM IN 70 AD.
******************** If I were you, I'd throw away the books of Polycarp, Ireneus, Augustine, the Tooth Fairy and that horrible, horrible Count Dracula. What do they know, except to mangle the truth? ///

Can you explain the prophecy in detail, then? You tell me to argue with the Angel, when that angel doesn't say what you say. I don't see your explanation anywhere.
(BTW, I watched Bela Lugosi many many times play Dracula--thought he was magnificent. I'm quite a fan.)

Canada’s parliament has approved M-103, a non-biding motion that calls on the government to “condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination,” by a margin of 201-91.
The contentious motion, which sparked nationwide demonstrations and protests by both supporters and opponents in early March, also calls on the government to take steps to “quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear.”
dictionary definition:
TO QUELL
verb put an end to (a rebellion or other disorder), typically by the use of force. as in "extra police were called to quell the disturbance" subdue or silence someone suppress (a feeling, especially an unpleasant one).
Sounds pretty ominous
Once government starts "quelling" those who have misgivings about the flood of Islamic "religious culture and laws" into our country, they will have no problem discriminating against people who hold other values.
It's a unique way to circumvent the wall between church and state --
Indeed "the time remaining that we are able to freely spread the Three Angels Message of warning in Canada is rapidly running out."
Control over every aspect seems to be where the powers that be are heading...

When those in power make rules that stifle others from expressing their views (that may be unpopular), free speech dies. It is coming. And it may already be here.
