Where did John write the Book of Revelation?

Answer 1

Revelation 1:1 says that the Book of Revelation was written by John, a servant of Jesus Christ in Patmos, but does not really say who John was. At some stage in the second century, the fourth Gospel was attributed to the apostle John, and Revelation was subsequently attributed to the same author because of the similarity of name. It has also been pointed out that, alone in the New Testament, these two books refer to Jesus Christ as the Lamb. On these fragile grounds, Revelation has long been attributed to the author of John's Gospel, in spite of the differences in style and theology.

Answer 2

John is believed to have written the Book of Revelation while he was exiled on the island of Patmos, located in the Aegean Sea. This happened around 95 AD during the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian.

Answer 3

The purpose of the book is stated in the first verse:

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: It draws together the various prophecies found in the rest of The Bible, fills in some areas, and adds new revelations intended to guide the Church until Jesus' return. It is also intended to be a blessing to whoever reads it.

Answer 4

According to the Bible, at Revelation 1:1, we read--''A revelation by Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John,''.

We are told that he was a slave of Jesus Christ, as well as a brother and sharer in tribulation, and that he was exiled on the island of Patmos. Obviously he was well-known to his first readers, to whom no further identification was necessary. He must be the apostle John. This conclusion is supported by most ancient historians. So John was merely the writer (as a secretary writes down the messages), not the originator, of the material. Therefore John is not 'the revelator', nor is the book 'a revelation of John', but a revelation by Jesus Christ. The Apostle John is widely accepted as the author. John is identified four times, the ideas and vocabulary fit with the Gospel of John, and the author states that he is writing from Patmos where church historians in early times agree he was for a time due to persecution.

The book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John.

Rev 1:1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants the things that must happen soon. He made it known by sending his angelto his servant John,

Rev 1:2 who testified to what he saw: the word of God and the testimony about Jesus Christ.

Rev 1:3 How blessed is the one who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep what is written in it, for the time is near!

the book of revelation was written by St. John the divine.

Answer 5

Also known as John "the beloved". One of the Leaders of the early church, with Peter and James, was a witness to Jesus' ascension into heaven. Likely one of the ultimate church authorities, after Jesus was crucified. Rumored to be still alive, having never tasted of death. This of course can only be a rumor. What seems to be more than rumor though, is that John was the only one of the Apostles not to be martyred but to die a natural death.
