God’s Vision to John on Patmos

Imagine being banished to a remote island on account of your faith, having to find food and shelter with no hope of escape. Imagine that you are in your eighties when this happens. This is where we find the Apostle John in the book of Revelation. We find not a man full of complaint in his hardships but a man full of worship of his glorious Savior. In this lesson, Dr. Thomas describes the conditions of John’s imprisonment, his focus in his last days, and his experience with the Spirit of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
