I John along with II and III John were wrote by the Apostle John Before he wrote the booke of Revelations, which was penned around 90 a.d.

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.

What island did they send John the Baptist to?

John the Baptist wasn't sent to an island; he was imprisoned (and later beheaded) by Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great. See Mark chapter 6 or parallel accounts. The Apostle John was exiled to the Mediterranean island of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation (Revelation 1:9). [Some contemporary accounts maintain that the author could be some other John, but there is no compelling reason to think that the writer might be other than the apostle.] ---- I do not believe he was sent to an island, and he was beheaded. You may be referring to John one of Jesus' disciples who was sent to the island of Patmoswhere he wrote Revelations the last book of the Bible.
