Because the author of the Book of Revelation identified himself as 'John', the book was once attributed to the apostle John. However, scholars say that he is most unlikely to have been the real author, and for this reason now refer to the uthor of Revelation as John of Patmos. The fanciful tradition that the apostle John was boiled in oil then exiled to Patmos was needed in order to get him to Patmos so that he could write the book there. Since this John was not the author, we do not need the oil, nor the exile. Without all these punishments, there is no reason to imagine John of Patmos as being blinded.
Oh, dude, like, technically, no one really knows for sure if John was blind when he wrote Revelation. Some scholars think maybe he had vision problems, others say he had a spiritual vision, and some are just like, "who knows, man." So, like, it's a bit of a mystery wrapped in an enigma, you know?
Scholars generally believe that the author of the Book of Revelation, traditionally attributed to John the Apostle, was not blind when he wrote it. The text itself does not provide any evidence to suggest that he was blind, and historical accounts indicate that John was not blind during his time. The Book of Revelation is known for its vivid and symbolic language, which may have led to speculation about the author's physical state, but there is no concrete evidence to support the idea that John was blind when he wrote it.
Oh, what a delightful question! John, the author of Revelation, was not blind when he wrote it. He was exiled to the island of Patmos and received visions from God, which he then wrote down. It's truly amazing how creativity can shine through even in challenging circumstances.
He was blind to understand what was said to him by Jesus Christ so the time he understood is the time he wrote what is happening in
