The Book of Revelation was written around 95 A.D., about a year before John was brought back off the island of Patmos, during the reign of Domitian.
John received the Revelation while exiled on the island of Patmos.
Again, according to the early church fathers, John was sent to the island of Patmos as a criminal to work the mines with the other prisoners. After the death of Domitian, Nerva released John around 96 A.D.
IV. ABOUT REVELATION:
John received the Revelation in order to encourage the believers who were under extreme persecution from Rome. The believers were weary and confused. They wanted to know that if Jesus defeated Satan on the cross, where is the victory? It seemed like things were getting worse. They were being beaten, imprisoned, and even put to death.
So, they wanted to know "Where's the victory? I was better off before I received Christ!" And so, they were discouraged and confused. So, John wrote to encourage them to endure and to wait for the victory, that the victory is yet to come, maybe not seeing it in our day, but it will come.
