Aegean Sunset on the Island of Patmos. The book of Revelation makes many allusions to the sea, and the sound of water. Patmos is a rocky island off the west coast of Asia Minor in the Aegean Sea, about 37 miles southwest of Miletus.
John was exiled to Patmos, they say, because he preached the Word of God, and had the testimony of Jesus Christ.

The Scripture verse says, I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the Word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ (Rev. 1:9). The Bible tells us why John was on Patmos, though not clearly.
