Intelligence Brief
Patmos was a small, rocky island used by Rome as a penal colony — a place of forced labor and isolation. John is there because of his testimony about Jesus. The most detailed prophetic vision in Scripture arrives not in a temple, not in a palace, but in a prison camp. The transmission does not wait for clearance. It finds the operative wherever he is.
