    That is a bit hard to justify. Very little of the Christian-Greek scriptures were written before Jerusalem’s destruction, and Revelation was certainly written a long time afterwards. The New Testament veers from anti- Jewish to anti- Roman sentiments, and Revelation seems to be an outpouring of hatred towards the Roman overlords- wishing destruction on them at some future time.
