I do agree there are many foundational truths in Days of Vengeance, but I think from chapters 6-15 Chilton’s interpretation is incorrect because he sees it as being about the Jewish war. Jordan sees it covering the history of the first century church from Acts to the Jewish war, and he is looking at the Old Testament allusions more than looking to see how Josephus’ history might fit the visions. But again, perhaps it was a bit extreme. It was a sales pitch!

I think each of them interpret Revelation in a similar manner, but find slightly different themes. I don’t see CHilton as using Josephus all that much–his commentary certainly doesn’t stand or fall with Josephus–and I have read most of the way through it. Jordan and Chilton both see Revelation as the final summation of the Old Covenant and the full transition to the New Covenant. Now Jordan goes into a great deal more detail and I do think that’s a good thing. But to say that Chilton “only peers through the keyhole” I think is overly harsh.
