The island where John received the visions of Revelation
Aegean SeaHistorically Verified
The Greek island is still there. The Monastery of Saint John (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the Cave of the Apocalypse mark the traditional spot where John wrote Revelation.
A small, rocky island in the Aegean Sea off the coast of modern-day Turkey. The Romans used it as a place of exile. John was banished here 'because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus,' and it's where he received the apocalyptic visions he recorded in Revelation.
