The "Revelation" or "Apocalypse" of John has always been the most puzzling book of the New Testament. Of its antiquity there can be no doubt; it was written by one author, four times named "John". From the beginning, Revelation was considered an authentic work of the apostle John, the same John who wrote the gospel and three epistles. This was held to be true by Justin Martyr, the Shepherd of Hermas, Melito, Irenaeus, the Muratorian Canon, Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Origen and others.

The time of the writing was after John's effective testimony for Christ which led the Roman authorities to exile him to the desolate island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea (1:9).

Just as Genesis is the book of beginnings, Revelation is the book of culmination, or rather divine completion. A prophetic work - it's title means "unveiling" or "disclosure". Revelation centers around visions and symbols of the resurrected Christ, Who alone has authority to judge the earth, to remake it, and to rule it in righteousness.
