Trip One ... Greece and the Island of Patmos
In Search of Revelation

Athens ancient auditorium By mere coincidence, I was invited on a business trip to Kalamata, Greece. Just finishing a class on the Book of Revelation at a newly attended church, I found it quite bizarre that I would be able to go to the place where the Apostle John was inspired to write this prophetic book. Surely I would find some answers here. I was way too excited to notice that I had never prepared for a trip overseas by myself ...

I was very excited! I took some pictures of Athens and jumped on the next ferry to the islands. It was a 12 hour ferry ride.

I found the path that John took to get to the cave to do his writing. My mind went back almost two thousand years as I felt the ghost of John walking these same stones. What was going through his mind? How did he feel as all these visions and premonitions were flowing through him? Path to the Patmos Cave
