Who is the prisoner who wrote the Revelation of John?
-----------------------The Book of Revelation is signed by 'John', who said that he was writing from the island of Patmos, and because of the coincidence of names has long been associated with the disciple John. However modern scholars say that the autohr could not really have been the author of John's Gospel, nor could he have been the disciple John. To distinguish him as a separate person, he now tends to be called John of Patmos, and there is no reason to believe that he was ever a prisoner.Becuae of the traditional association of Revelation with the disciple John, the early Christians developed a legend that got John on the island of Patmos, thereby 'proving' that he really was the author of Revelation. The belief developed that the Romans had boiled John in oil, but he miraculously survived this and other attempts to kill him. Although they were unable to harm John, the Romans were still somehow able to take him by force as a prisoner to Patmos. This is a wonderful legend, but has no historical basis. The otherwise unknown author, John of Patmos, was not the disciple John and was not a prisoner.

Was John blind when he wrote Revelation?
A:We know nothing about John of Patmos apart from his authorship of the Book of Revelation, but presumably he was able to see, in order to be able to write. 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.

Is it possible to use canola oil in church as an anointing oil?
This would depend on the traditions of each particular church. Among the denominations that use anointing oil in specific rites, olive oil may be preferred because of its known use in the Holy Land of the First Century. In other churches, particularly assemblies without formal liturgy, any convenient oil might be acceptable. But again, different congregations and pastors have different preferences.Catholic AnswerNormally, in the Catholic Church only pure olive oil is used for the three Oils, although Sacred Chrism has fragrant balsam added to it. In an emergency, any priest may bless any pure vegetable oil, such as canola oil, to be used for the Sacrament of the Sick, if he does not have access to a stock of olive oil previously blessed by the Bishop.

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.
