Patmos

from Holy Bible (KJV) – Revelation 1 on Rap Genius

Meaning

A small rocky and barren island, one of the group called the “Sporades,” in the Aegean Sea. It was on this island — to which John was banished by the emperor Domitian — that he received from God the revelation recorded in his book (whose first chapter can be read here).
