Was he himself writing from Heaven - or from

this isn't the Antichrist writing, who may be
well informed but not authentically pious.

 Supposedly St John wrote the Revelation when he was exiled to the Isle
of Patmos which is one of the small islands in the Aegean between
Greece + Turkey. He says he had visions and recorded what he saw.
 Christian sources figure he was at least 80 if not 90 years old when
he wrote it and that it was the last book of the New Testament to be
written.

Per <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Revelation>
it's probably someone else called John.  But John of
Patmos, I infer, isn't a "Saint" because if he is,
then he may be St John after all.
As usual, he was writing shortly before the end of
the world.  But I was asking about a reviewer of
Revelation, who seems to think that "Revelation"
now has happened, and all true Christians are safely
in Heaven with God.  I wondered how, in that case,
he got a book published about it down here on Earth.
