What island was the apostle john on when he wrote revelation?

Why is John called the eagle of Patmos?

A:The eagle is one of the images associated with Saint John the Evangelist. Because it was once thought that Saint John was also the author of the Book of Revelation, which was written on Patmos and signed by a person called John , the association became "the eagle of Patmos."


Was the book of revelations wrote while john was at island patmos?

A:Simply because the Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, it was decided late in the second century that this must have been the apostle John. Whoever this John was, it clearly was not the author of John's Gospel, as the style and the theology are too different. Nevertheless, after the decision to attribute Revelation to the apostle John, a tradition evolved that the apostle John was exiled to Patmos because he miraculously survived all attempts to kill him. It is never explained how it was possible to exile John anywhere, if his enemies were unable to harm him. There is no evidence that the apostle John was ever on the island of Patmos. Revelation 1:1 states that the Book of Revelation was written by a person called John, and Revelation 1:9 says that he wrote from Patmos, without at any stage saying that he had been exiled to the island. So unless there is proof that he was forcibly restrained, it should be assumed that John of Patmos could leave the island whenever he chose, and return at any time he chose.

There is no record of the birth of John, and there is some debate as to whether or not John of Patmos was the same John who was Jesus's disciple.
