Revelation 1:7-9

 “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”
    and “every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him”;
    and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”
So shall it be! Amen.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus

 

John the Revelator, the author of Revelation, had been exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the Gospel of Christ under the Roman Emperor Domitian. There is some disagreement among scholars about whether the author of Revelations is John the Apostle or another figure referred to as John of Patmos, due to linguistic and stylistic differences in the writing of Revelations versus the books attributed to John the Apostle including the Gospel of John.

The end of verse seven is also translated as "all the tribes of the earth will wail because of Him." Presumably this means because so many people will realize that the teachings of the Gospels were accurate and will be terrified about what their fate is to become now that Christ has returned.
