Even if only allegorically, John speaks of the things he 'sees' in heaven, as if being able to see was normal and usual for him. There is no suggestion anywhere in the Book of Revelation that John of Patmos was blind.
There is no record of John of Patmos' age.
The book of Revelations was written by John on the island of Patmos roughly in the year 90.A.D.
Yes, Revelation is PHYSICALLY the last book in the Holy Bible, but not the last book written in the Bible. John wrote Revelation when he was a prisoner on the Isle of Patmos for preaching about Jesus(Revelation 1:1,2+9), but it is generally believed that he wrote his gospel and his three 'epistles'(1John, 2John, 3John) after he was released from Patmos and was living near Ephesus.
Answer John was the only Apostle to die a natural death. He was exiled on the Isle of Patmos while writing the Revelation, and was later released at which time he wrote his three epistles. Historical documents indicate that John lived well into his 90's - thus living through the death of all the apostles, including Paul. Cessationists believe that the death of John ended the continuing revelation of Christ to His church.FYI:The day commemorates the martyrdom by beheading of Saint John the Baptist on the orders of Herod Antipas through the vengeful request of his step-daughter Salome and her mother
All we know about the Book of Revelation is that it is signed by 'John', who wrote from the island of Patmos. At some point, the Revelation to John of Patmos was associated with the John's Gospel solely because of the common name. Later still, Christian traditions arose as to how the Apostle John must have found his way to Patmos in order to write the book from there.Because of the association with the Apostle John, Revelation was preserved for posterity and given the status of an apostolic writing. Even so, there were doctors of the church who questioned its authenticity and complained about its theology.The second century Roman teacher, Gaius, called Revelation "heretical" and claimed that it was written by John's worst enemy, Cerinthus. The Church Father, Eusebius, called the Book of Revelation 'spurious'.There were not only serious doubts in the early Church as to the authenticity of Revelation, but we now know from analysis of the text that it was not written by the Apostle John at all.
The author of Revelation is John of Patmos
He didn't write it It was written after his death.Answer:The New Testament doesn't provide the ages of any of the apostles at any point, so the answer to your question is unknowable from scripture.
There is no record of John of Patmos' age.
No. Christian tradition says that the Apostle John was exiled to Patmos. The Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, who said that he was writing from Patmos. In the belief that this person must have been the apostle John, Christians began to wonder how and why John went to Patmos, and gradually developed the tradition that he had been exiled to the island.

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.

The Book of Revelation, circa 95 AD, was written by John while on Patmos.
John was on the island of Patmos "Revelation 1:[9] I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."
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.
