Because the author of the Book of Revelation identified himself as 'John', the book was once attributed to the apostle John. However, scholars say that he is most unlikely to have been the real author, and for this reason now refer to the uthor of Revelation as John of Patmos. The fanciful tradition that the apostle John was boiled in oil then exiled to Patmos was needed in order to get him to Patmos so that he could write the book there. Since this John was not the author, we do not need the oil, nor the exile. Without all these punishments, there is no reason to imagine John of Patmos as being blinded.

He was blind to understand what was said to him by Jesus Christ so the time he understood is the time he wrote what is happening in
