Discover how ‘The Disciple’ John at Patmos, Albrecht Dürer, and the Roman Empire shaped the most terrifying image in the Book of Revelation.

The Book of Revelation is traditionally believed to have been written by the Disciple John while on the Roman Island of Patmos toward the end of the reign of Roman Emperor Domitian (81–96 A.D.), around 95 A.D. – Google AI Gemini

Roman Emperor Domitian launched a widespread, empire-wide persecution of Christians from A.D. 81–96. – Google AI Gemini

I, John, your brother and partner in “the affliction,” kingdom, and endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. – Revelation 1:9 CSB

“The affliction” mentioned in Revelation 1:9 is widely considered to be the church wide persecution of Emperor Domitian.

The Beloved Disciple John wrote The Gospel of John, 1st, 2nd & 3rd John along with the Book of Revelation.

Note: The Book of Revelation is almost unreadable in the original Greek language and in the Latin translation, creating a defacto ‘sealed book’ until the English language translation version ‘opened’ the Book of Revelation to the public.

The Bible’s use of language illustrates that the biblical languages are Hebrew, Latin, Greek and a future undisclosed European language – now understood to be the English language.

And a superscription also was written over Him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews. – Luke 23:38 KJV

But before long, a fierce wind called the “Euro-Clydon” … Acts 27:14

☆ Euro-Clydon was a new word combining Europe and Cyclone seeming to indicate that the “travels” future biblical ‘stormy’ events would be centered in Europe – while using the European English language.

The seraphim who cover their faces before the throne.

The four-faced cherubim who guard the holiness of God.

The Archangels Michael and Gabriel and their roles in cosmic warfare.

The two hundred Watchers who descended on Mount Hermon in the days of Genesis 6.

The Nephilim.

The divine council of the sons of God.

The Accuser in the heavenly courtroom of Job.

And the fall of Satan the anointed cherub — the morning star, Helel ben Shahar — who once covered the very throne of God.

Note: The Bible commands us to be conformed into the image of God in Christ Jesus. It also commands the Angels to be conformed into the image of Jesus Christ.

☆ In the Bible particularly in Daniel and Revelation it can be difficult to discern if it is an Angel or if it is Jesus Christ. Often it is a Holy Angel that is conforming to the image of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel writers have helped us out by pointing out that the person Walking on Water is usually Jesus Christ and not an Angel.

Jesus walking on water is a famous Biblical miracle recorded in the Gospels of Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 6:45-52, and John 6:16-21. – Google

For those He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the (Resurrection) image of His Son (Jesus Christ), so that He (Jesus Christ) would be the Firstborn (Resurrection) among many (Believers) brothers and sisters. – Romans 8:29 CSB

Note: The “Open Door” into Heaven (Revelation 4:1) for the Christian Church is the Rapture of the Christian Church into Heaven.

☆ The Christian Church that began in the “Upper Room” on Easter Sunday (Feast of Firstfruits) concludes with the Rapture the “Open Door” and going into Heaven to the Throne and the visible presence of God.

After saying this, He (Jesus Christ – The Alpha) breathed on them (Disciples) and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit (become a Born Again Christian). – John 20:22 CSB

After this (Christian Church Age) I looked, and there in Heaven was an Open Door. The first voice (Jesus Christ – The Omega) that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” – Revelation 4:1 CSB

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” – Revelation 1:8
