The Book of Revelation, also known as the Apocalypse of John, is the final book of the New Testament and the Christian Bible. It was written by John of Patmos, traditionally identified as John the Apostle, around 95-96 AD during a time of persecution of Christians by the Roman Empire.

Revelation is a highly symbolic and prophetic book that describes visions of the end times, the second coming of Jesus Christ, the final battle between good and evil, the judgment of the wicked, and the establishment of a new heaven and new earth. Major themes include God’s ultimate victory, hope for believers, and a warning to those who turn away from God.
