According to tradition, John the Revelator was exiled to the island of Patmos by the Roman Empire, where he wrote the Book of Revelation. It is believed that he may have developed eye problems due to his advanced age and the harsh conditions of exile, leading to his blindness. Some sources also suggest that the blinding light he saw during his visions contributed to his loss of sight.

What are the meaning of the lyrics to John the Revelator by Depeche Mode?

John the Revelator was rewritten by Depeche Mode in June 2006. It was originally recorded by a blind guitar evangelist, Blind Willie Johnson (1900-1949) from Beaumont, Texas. Several other singing groups re-recorded this song or rewritten it such as: The Dixie Hummingbirds, Andy Cohen, Bill Ellis, and Eleanor Ellis, Harry Belafonte; Stanley Wilson, The Hart Brothers; Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, & Brian Ritchie; The Spiders; as This is Serious/John the Revelator: The Silencers. 'John of Patmos is the name given to the author of the Book of Revelation (or Book of the Apocalypse) in the New Testament. According to the text of Revelation, the author, who gives his name as "John," is living in exile on the Greek island of Patmos. In Revelation, he writes to the seven Christian churches in Asia to relate two apocalyptic visions he has had. John of Patmos is often referred to as John the Divine, or John the Theologian, and the message he received is considered divine Revelation by most Christians.' Lyrics mean John the Revelator's exile and him being tried and crucified for his belief in Christ. (Error: John was neither crucified or even martyred.)

Is there any biblical proof or reference that John the Revelator was blinded at Patmos?

John Revelator Blinded Patmos W Ian Is there any biblical proof or reference that John the Revelator was blinded at Patmos? According to the Bible, the apostle John was exiled to the island of Patmos, where he received the vision recorded in the book of Revelation. There is no mention in the Bible of John being blinded while on Patmos. In fact, the book of Revelation specifically states that John was given the vision "because he had been faithful" (Revelation 1:9). The book also says that John was told to "write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches" (Revelation 1:11), which would not have been possible if he were blinded.
