Places › Patmos
Patmos is an island in the Bible, about 1,028 km (639 miles) north-west of Jerusalem. The King James Version names it in 1 verse, Revelation 1:9.
A small rocky and barren island, one of the group called the “Sporades,” in the AEgean Sea. It is mentioned in Scripture only in Rev. 1:9. It was on this island, to which John was banished by the emperor Domitian (A.D. 95), that he received from God the wondrous revelation recorded in his book. This has naturally invested it with the deepest interest for all time. It is now called Patmo.
