Revelation — John on Patmos sees the Lamb who was slain enthroned, the scroll opened, Babylon fallen, and the new Jerusalem descending. The canon's capstone — and its most interpretively contested book.

Author: John (traditional — apostle of Jesus; same author as the Fourth Gospel). Some modern critical scholarship distinguishes ‘John of Patmos’ from the apostle; site defaults to traditional attribution
Date: Late-date c. AD 95–96 under Domitian (Irenaeus, mainstream traditional); early-date c. AD 65–68 under Nero (required by most preterist readings). Site surfaces both

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

(2.) He was dead and is alive. He was dead, and died for our sins; he is alive, for he rose again for our justification, and he ever lives to make intercession for us. He was dead, and by dying purchased salvation for us; he is alive, and by his life applies this salvation to us.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

MICHAELIS' view is probable: Nicolaos (conqueror of the people) is the Greek version of Balaam, from Hebrew "Belang Am," "Destroyer of the people." Revelation abounds in such duplicate Hebrew and Greek names: as Apollyon, Abaddon: Devil, Satan: Yea (Greek, "Nai"), Amen. The name, like other names, Egypt, Babylon, Sodom, is symbolic.
