On the Greek island of Patmos, a small limestone cave is traditionally believed to be where the Book of Revelation was written.
Around 95 AD, John the Apostle was exiled to Patmos by Roman authorities, likely during the reign of Emperor Domitian, a period marked by pressure on early Christian communities. In the opening lines of Revelation, John himself states that he was on Patmos “because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.” Early Christian tradition places the writing of the text inside this cave, where John experienced intense visions and heard what he described as a divine voice speaking to him.
According to these accounts, John did not write the book alone. He dictated his visions to his disciple Prochoros, who recorded the messages addressed to the seven churches of Asia Minor. These visions included dramatic imagery of judgment, cosmic upheaval, symbolic creatures, and the ultimate triumph of God, imagery that has shaped Christian theology, art, and end-times thinking for nearly two thousand years.
Today, the site is known as the Cave of the Apocalypse. What makes it remarkable is that it is not simply associated with a biblical figure, but with the actual composition of a canonical text, tied to a specific place, moment, and experience described by its author.
I will have less of a presence on The Torrid Tribe Community. We have very little activity here. This is a sign to me that members have found other social media resources that they are spending more time in. I am happy to see less censorship on social media in general. I started The Torrid Tribe 4 years ago when we were in a state of censorship and lockdowns. It was a difficult time and this was a haven and sanctuary for so many.
I will be lightly posting things here to give you all content to see. This community will always be open to everyone and will resurrect to its full capacity if subscribers show they want it fully operational again with full time administration.
Thank you for being a part of this community. Sending each of you hugs.
