To Raehel: If you have just started studying the New Testament, I suggest you start reading from Matthew. If you have read all the new testament and have come to the last book, the Revelation, then from what I have read and studied the book in my church, I can tell you that John is exiled to an island of Greece called Patmos.It must be a Sunday as he refers in verse 10 the Lord's day and he, John is full of the Holy Spirit when Jesus comes to him and gives the revelation . Jesus has a message for the seven existing churches then.And Jesus is surrounded with seven golden candlesticks which are the seven existing churches. This first chapter is the general idea of the following chapters,where John sees in detail everything and writes down. It is about the situation of the churches then, which is explained in the next two chapters. From the fourth chapter and onward, John is called up to heaven to see how the latter days will be on earth, after the Rapture.I hope this helps you a little.
