A:In addition to the biblical Book of Revelation, also known as the Revelation of John there was also a Revelation of Peter. After much dispute, the Revelation of John was finally accepted into the biblical canon, largely because it was decided to have been written either by John the son of Zebedee, or John the Elder. The Revelation of Peter was omitted because it was decided that this was not written by the apostle Peter.
All we know about the Book of Revelation is that it is signed by 'John', who wrote from the island of Patmos. At some point, the Revelation to John of Patmos was associated with the John's Gospel solely because of the common name. Later still, Christian traditions arose as to how the Apostle John must have found his way to Patmos in order to write the book from there.Because of the association with the Apostle John, Revelation was preserved for posterity and given the status of an apostolic writing. Even so, there were doctors of the church who questioned its authenticity and complained about its theology.The second century Roman teacher, Gaius, called Revelation "heretical" and claimed that it was written by John's worst enemy, Cerinthus. The Church Father, Eusebius, called the Book of Revelation 'spurious'.There were not only serious doubts in the early Church as to the authenticity of Revelation, but we now know from analysis of the text that it was not written by the Apostle John at all.
The "elder" John was one of Jesus 12 disciples and the writer of the Gospel of John, three letters(1 John 2 John 3rd John), and the book of Revelation
There is no record of John of Patmos' age.
God chose Apostle John to receive the Revelation because of his strong faith, steadfastness in persecution, and his close relationship with Jesus Christ. John was known as the "disciple whom Jesus loved," and he had a deep understanding of spiritual matters. These qualities made him a fitting vessel to receive the visions and messages contained in the Book of Revelation.

The book of Revelation was written by the apostle John to the seven churches in Asia Minor to encourage and challenge them in their faith during a time of persecution. It was meant to give them hope and assurance of God's ultimate victory over evil.
The angel John worshiped in the book of Revelation was instructed by John not to worship him. The angel clarified that he was a fellow servant of God and of John, and that only God should be worshiped.

John, one of Jesus' disciples is the author of Revelation. He got all the info on Revelation from visions God gave him about the end days.ANSWER:If you have a Bible, open to the introductory of Revelations 1 and read, "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which GOD gave Him to show His servants - things that must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw."So if was God the Father who is the source of this Revelation given to His Son Jesus to show all of us. An angel of God gave it to John so he could be a witness and write it down for all of us to read.
