View Wesley's Notes for Revelation 1:9
1:9 I John - The instruction and preparation of the apostle for the work are described from the ninth to the twentieth verse. #Rev 1:9 |- 20 Your brother - In the common faith. And companion in the affliction - For the same persecution which carried him to Patmos drove them into Asia. This book peculiarly belongs to those who are under the cross. It was given to a banished man; and men in affliction understand and relish it most. Accordingly, it was little esteemed by the Asiatic church, after the time of Constantine; but highly valued by all the African churches, as it has been since by all the persecuted children of God. In the affliction, and kingdom and patience of Jesus - The kingdom stands in the midst. It is chiefly under various afflictions that faith obtains its part in the kingdom; and whosoever is a partaker of this kingdom is not afraid to suffer for Jesus, #2Tim 2:12|. I was in the island Patmos - In the reign of Domitian and of Nerva. And there he saw and wrote all that follows. It was a place peculiarly proper for these visions. He had over against him, at a small distance, Asia and the seven churches; going on eastward, Jerusalem and the land of Canaan; and beyond this, Antioch, yea, the whole continent of Asia. To the west, he had Rome, Italy, and all Europe, swimming, as it were, in the sea; to the south, Alexandria and the Nile with its outlets, Egypt, and all Africa; and to the north, what was afterwards called Constantinople, on the straits between Europe and Asia. So he had all the three parts of the world which were then known, with all Christendom, as it were, before his eyes; a large theatre for all the various scenes which were to pass before him: as if this island had been made principally for this end, to serve as an observatory for the apostle. For preaching the word of God he was banished thither, and for the testimony of Jesus - For testifying that he is the Christ.

The Wycliffe version clearly shows Ile of Pathmos is Glastonbury Tor which was an island 2000 years ago as Mos is a bog or peatmos or low lying meadow. The Latin word for Patmos Island by Greece is PATMO. The 1989 NRSV Roman Catholic Bible version of pathmos shows PAT\'MOS. Rathmoss in Northern England is a good example of Brythonic
David's comment on 2012-02-24 01:03:59:
The ancient names of Patmos Island near Greece are Patima, Palmosa, Patnos and Letios. Revelation 1:9 is important as it shows the Book of Revelation was written in 69AD by Jesus Christ and was witnessed by Saint John near the first above ground Christian Church at the Isle of Glastonbury Tor{Path mos} in Wycliffe Rev. 1:9 was one of the main reasons why so many of Wycliffe\'s followers were murdered by the Vatican who doesn\'t want anyone to know that Christ wrote the book of Revelation.
David Duane Boyce's comment on 2012-03-23 21:00:12:
The fact that St. John may have been on Patmos Island in his very old age has no bearing on the writing of the Book of Revelation. Rev.22:16 shows clearly that Jesus was alive when this book was written in 69AD and John was the witness. Acts 25:19 clearly shows Jesus was alive in 62AD and 2 Peter 1:14 shows Jesus is alive shortly before June of 66 AD.and talking to Peter shortly before Peter was executed in 66 AD as Peter was in England in the spring of 66 AD. Jesus died in 73 AD. St. Marcilia the handmaiden {second wife-priestess} was a co writer.
