The Prophet of Patmos

Adelbert Scholtz

4.9/5 (18388 ratings)

Description:What did John of Patmos, the author of the biblical book of Revelation, really see and describe in his book? This historical novel recreates his visions and adventures during his exile on the island of Patmos and explains what his message was. A careful reading of the book of Revelation, a knowledge of astrology as practiced by the Greeks and the Jews in antiquity, as well as information from extra-biblical sources, made it possible to reconstruct John’s visions, which are mostly based on descriptions of the constellations and planets in the night sky, as well as other natural phenomena. John came from a priestly family and was probably a member of the sect of the Essenes or Nazarenes, the sect to which Jesus of Nazareth also belonged. During the Jewish war of AD 66–73 against the Romans, he fled to Ephesus, where he joined the Christian community and later became its leader due to his priestly background. He lived as an exile and religious undesirable on the island of Patmos during AD 96 but was pardoned after the Roman Emperor Domitian’s death.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
