Correct on Patmos, perhaps a little earlier.
However, after his release, John lived out his days at Ephesus, where he wrote his Gospel.
of course you realize.. that much of the new testament was written AFTER the book of Revelation right? look it up in any commentary or concordance... Looks like they put revelation at the end when they assembled the canon of the new testament, to scare folks off.
No sir. The Book of Revelations was written by the last living Apostle, John, on the island of Patmos around 95 AD. The Gospels, Book of Acts, and Epistles, were written 30 to 40 years prior. This final 'book' was part of the complete Book - and provides the closing words.
With respect to your comments regarding the false prophets who abound - who can argue? God warns us of these people - and He's given us His Book as a guide.
That some folks choose to believe John knew he was writing the last book of the bible before he wrote the last three books in his life first second and third john is up to them. Internal evidence seems to indicate otherwise... If your doctrine depends on Revelation being written last.. far be it from me to shoot it down.. its just that there are a considerable number of pleniary inspiration authorities (fundamentlaists) that have come out and admitted this over the last fifty years.
Those committed to the authority of the King James over other versions are the primary proponents of the late date theory of revelation... who am I to insist I am right.. nobody... but I am quite sure I am not alone in stating what I did... except for the misstatement MOST instead of much... five or six epistles including hebrews is a LOT of new testament in my book.. but not most...
