Where did John write the Book of Revelation?
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.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/bible/the-book-of-ezekiel-explained
What are the two sources of divine revelation?
Sacred Scripture and Sacred TraditionAdditional Answer:The one and only source of the information in the Book of Revelation can be read by all in the opening verses as follows: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which GOD gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: Who bare record of the word of GOD, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw."So, this is God the Father giving this 'reign of man' ending information to His Son, Jesus Christ who via an angel, gives it to the Apostle John for recording.

What book is about the future in the bible?
The book of Revelation, which is the last book of the Bible, deals entirely with future events. The full title of the book is: the Revelation of Jesus Christ. It was written by John when he was exiled on the island of Patmos. In a vision from God John saw the events of the future after the second coming of Christ. Jesus Christ came first as a baby born to save sinners. His second coming is when he comes again to take his people home and judge those who do not believe in him once and for all.
Is there any indication in Revelation that John has two thousand years of church history in mind?
It needs to be understood that John "had nothing in mind" when he recorded "Revelation," other than to "write down what he saw in the vision" sent to him by Jesus Christ [whose Revelation it is]."The Revelation of Jesus Christ... to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass... He sent and signified it by His angel unto John: who bare record of the Word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all the things that he saw." (Rev.1:1-2)None of The Revelation was of "John's intent or purpose" AT ALL, much less, to direct or indicate anything contained in the vision sent to him.

The book of Revelation is attributed to the apostle John, but it is about the visions and revelations received by John from Jesus Christ. The book primarily focuses on the end times, the final judgment, and the ultimate victory of Jesus Christ over evil.
The one thousand year reign of Jesus Christ?
I believe the 1000 year of Christ's reign is in the Book of Revelation,when John saw the vision of the end times, this is after the second coming of Christ. After Christ receives the Saints, he lived with them for a thousand years while the devil is exiled to earth with the wicked.

What did Jesus tell John what not to write in the book of revelations?
John was writing the things that he saw and heard in a vision. A time came when the seven thunders uttered their voices. Apparently God did not want the world to know this particular part of the vision at the time. So he commanded john not to write it down.
Does the book of Revelation agree or disagree with The Book of Mormon?
This is almost an impossible question to answer because the two books cannot be equally compared. It isn't an "apples to apples" comparison. Most scholars agree that John wrote the Book of Revelation sometime between the year 60 and 90 A.D. The Book of Mormon was mostly written between the years 600 B.C. and 400 A.D. The writers of the Book of Mormon never saw the Book of Revelation and John the Revelator probably didn't even know of the existence of the Book of Mormon peoples. The Book of Mormon authors did, however, know of the existence of John the Revelator and his revelation even before John was born. The Book of Revelation is mentioned twice in the Book of Mormon, in 1 Nephi 14:18-27 (written in 600 B.C.), and in Ether 4:16 (written by Moroni in about 400 A.D.) and John the Revelator is mentioned once in 3 Nephi 28:6 (written in 35 A.D.) [links to read these verses online are provided below under "Related Links"] The Book of Revelation and the Book of Mormon don't particularly agree or disagree with one another because they don't really mention many of the same things. However, if you believe the Book of Mormon is true, you will also believe the Book of Revelation is true. They do not conflict each other, and the Book of Mormon supports a belief in the Book of Revelation.
Which John wrote The Revelation?

Is the proper name of the last book of the bible the revelations of St John the Devine?
No.Chapters, chapter headings, verses, book titles, etc., were added by translators of the original manuscripts as study aids, readability, etc... and were sometimes somewhat "less inspired" than the ones who wrote the books, and were not always correct in these endeavors when it came to understanding what was written.In the case of the book of Revelation... the title added by the KJV translators, "The Revelation of Saint John the Divine" is absolutely WRONG [on so many levels, in their religious piety] -- as verified by the very first words of the "inspired text":"THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST..." (Rev.1:1).The Revelation is Jesus Christ's... not John's. John merely wrote down what Jesus conveyed to him through a vision given to him by Christ's angel:"...He [Jesus] sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John: who bare record of the Word of God, and of the testimony OF JESUS CHRIST [it's Jesus' revealing testimony... not John's], and of all the things that he saw." (verses 1-2)Revelation 1New King James Version (NKJV) Introduction and Benediction1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Himto show His servants-things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ,
