With respect to post #179:
The Book of Revelations was written by the last living Apostle, John, on the island of Patmos around 95 AD.

Although I don't have the copyright records, the passage in Revelations 1:2 where John speaks of himself as previously having bore record of the word of God, and testimony of Jesus Christ is strong evidence that the Gospel of John was written prior to the Book of Revelations (the last Book of the Bible). I agree that most traditions have John writing this Gospel in Ephesus, but tradition also holds that he was there both prior and after his field trip to Patmos.
Rev 1
1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
