The Jimmy Akin Podcast | Episode 079 (April 13, 2026)

In this eye-opening episode of The Jimmy Akin Podcast, Jimmy dismantles the popular myth that Emperor Domitian launched a brutal persecution of Christians and demanded worship as “Lord and God.” He reveals how this narrative arose from later exaggerations, not solid evidence, and shows why it’s been used to date Revelation—incorrectly. Instead, Jimmy builds a compelling case for an earlier date for Revelation (around 68–69 AD), tying it to Nero and the chaotic Year of the Four Emperors. Shocking history meets sharp biblical insight—don’t miss this myth-busting deep dive!
