Revelation was written before 70 A.D. and the destruction of Israel.

Only a few years before - during the reign of Nero.

Revelation 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen,
and one is, and the other is not yet come;
and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.

"and one is" = Nero
"a short space" = Galba

1. Julius Caesar 49-44 B.C.
2. Augustus Caesar 31 B.C. - 14 A.D.
3. Tiberius 14-37 A.D.
4. Gaius (also called Caligula) 37-41 A.D.
5. Cladius 41-54 A.D.

Those five were gone (fallen) when Revelation was written.

6. Nero 54-68 A.D. (the one who was alive when John wrote)
7 Galba 68-69 A.D. (reigned less than a full year = short space)

Those are the 7 kings mentioned by John
3 more Caesars (kings) came before the wrath was poured out.

8. Otho 69 A.D.
9. Vitellius 69 A.D.
7. Vespasian 69-79 A.D. (this one was ruling when the temple and Jerusalem was destroyed)
