Strong's Lexicon Patmos: Patmos Original Word: Πάτμος Word Origin: Of uncertain origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Hebrew equivalents for Patmos, as it is a specific Greek geographical term. Usage: Patmos is a small, rocky island in the Aegean Sea, known primarily as the location where the Apostle John received the visions recorded in the Book of Revelation. It is mentioned in the New Testament as a place of exile. Cultural and Historical Background: Patmos is part of the Dodecanese island group in the Aegean Sea. In the first century, it was under Roman control and used as a place of exile for political prisoners and those considered threats to the Roman state. The island's isolation made it an ideal location for banishment. The Apostle John was exiled to Patmos during the reign of Emperor Domitian, around AD 95, due to his testimony of Jesus Christ and his leadership in the early Christian church.
