There are many traditions about the authorship of Revelation which, since it is signed by a person called John, is usually attributed to the apostle John. However, scholars say that the author of the Book of Revelation was certainly not the author of the Gospel According to St John. We can not say with certainty where the book was written, and in fact it appears to have been written in layers, by at least two different authors separated in time, neither of whom wrote about where he lived.
The Bible doesn't record that he did. Personally, I don't think he did.
John, a disciple of Jesus, wrote it while he was on the island of Patmos, around 60 AD.
The Book of Revelation, circa 95 AD, was written by John while on Patmos.
Yes, according to tradition, the Apostle John was exiled to the island of Patmos, not Jacob. John was exiled there for his Christian beliefs and later wrote the Book of Revelation while on the island.
John Revelator Blinded Patmos W Ian Is there any biblical proof or reference that John the Revelator was blinded at Patmos? According to the Bible, the apostle John was exiled to the island of Patmos, where he received the vision recorded in the book of Revelation. There is no mention in the Bible of John being blinded while on Patmos. In fact, the book of Revelation specifically states that John was given the vision "because he had been faithful" (Revelation 1:9). The book also says that John was told to "write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches" (Revelation 1:11), which would not have been possible if he were blinded.
The Apocalypse or Revelation was written by John of Patmos around 95 AD on the Greek island of Patmos. It is the final book of the New Testament and contains prophetic visions about the end times, judgment, and the ultimate victory of good over evil.
The Book of Revelation is signed by a person called John, who wrote from the island of Patmos. Conservative theologians insist that the author was the apostle John, while liberal theologians accept the different style and theology, and simply refer to him as John of Patmos.
The Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse, was traditionally attributed to the Apostle John. Several other apocalyptic writings are found in the Bible, including Daniel, Ezekiel, and parts of Isaiah.
John saw his vision in the Book of Revelation while he was on the island of Patmos, where he had been exiled as punishment for preaching the word of God.
No where does the Bible say that John ever went to the island of Patmos. In fact there is not even any extra-biblical evidence that he did. The Book of Revelation is signed by a person called John, and was written from Patmos. In the second century, it was decided that this was the same John as was believed to have written John's Gospel. Traditions grew up around persecutions and fabulous miracle that happened to John on his way to the island of Patmos, but they are not based on the Bible nor on any verifiable facts.
In th everse below John states why he wrote 'John': Joh 20:31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name. John is instructed to write the things recorded in Revelation: Rev 1:19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.
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.
