Revelation Chapter 1:9-11
Seven churches in Asia Minor
Exiled on Patmos
Seven churches in Asia Minor
Exiled on Patmos
John opened the letter by stating his name and mentioning that he was in exile on the island of Patmos because of his Christian beliefs.
Few today would contest the claim that the book of Revelation has always been one of the most controversial books in the New Testament canon, and its reception by the early church was equally complicated. The story of Christ’s revelation to the Apostle John and its eventual acceptance into the New Testament canon of scripture is a fascinating one.
