jan 1, 100 - John the last of the Apostles Dies
Description:
The five books by the apostle John were written at the end of a time of persecution brought on by Emperor Domitian. He is said to have acted like a madman during the last three years of his reign, which covered 81-96 C.E. It was while in exile on the island of Patmos that John wrote down the Revelation, about 96 C.E.* His Gospel and three letters followed from Ephesus or its vicinity after his release, and this last of the apostles died about 100 C.E.* Notes on the Book of Revelation, 1852, by Albert Barnes, pages xxix, xxx.
