What attracted God to the Apostle John as the recipient of the Revelation?
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.
Why did God give his revelation to John?
"To show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass..." (Revelation 1). Additionally, God's "special revelation" is available to specific people (John) at specific times in specific places; it is available now only through Scripture.
Which John wrote the Book of Revelation?
The writer of Revelation calls himself John. He also declares that he is on the island of Patmos. Several of the early church father said John the apostle had been banished to othe island by the Roman Emperor Domitian Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, Hippolytus, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen, all credit the book to John. More recently a book called the Apocryphon of John (about a.d. 150), was found in Egypt that specifically attributes Revelation to John the brother of James.
What is the purpose of revelation?
So God can reveal himself to us graduallyYes, but more fully I would say, the purpose is to show the people of God that God has not checked out. He is still here and is active.One of the great questions throughout the Bible (and all of humanity) is how can God allow evil and evil people to prosper while good and rightness often suffer. The Book of Revelation is God's answer that in the end He will prevail and His final victory of Justice over evil will be forever.So, in the end, the Book of Revelation is a book of hope and promise.
How long was the Apostle John on the island of Patmos?
There is no evidence that the apostle John was ever on the island of Patmos. 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. Today, many theologians refer to the author of Revelation as "John of Patmos", although some continue to believe that both authors really were the apostle John.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. Even if true, the tradition does not seem to say how long he lived in exile.
