I have always been interested in the last book of the Bible, the Revelation of John of Patmos. Let me give you a background of the time and location that this took place. Patmos is a small island in the Aegean Sea located 37 miles southwest of Asia; Asia is a Roman province that occupied what is now Turkey. It is thought that this was written around A.D. 90 to 96 during the reign of the Roman Emperor Domitian. At this time Patmos was used as a Roman penal colony. It is thought that John the apostle, one of Jesus' disciples was the author of Revelation.
Out of the 2500 prophecies recorded in the Bible, 2000 have been fulfilled exactly as they were written. There is no reason to doubt that the last 500 will also be fulfilled exactly. Revelation is one of the most well-known of prophetic books in the Bible. It is also the one that most people find the most intimidating and confusing. I want to walk through Revelation chapter by chapter and try to make it less confusing. I don't know all the answers, but I will attempt to explain what I can through research using many sources. Many of what people find confusing is found to be explained elsewhere in the Bible.
