The Gospel of John has no mini apocalypse like the other three Gospels. Is it because the Holy Spirit revealed the maxi apocalypse to St. John during his imprisonment on the island of Patmos? John's vision in the Book of Revelation follows the same outline as the prophecies of the Synoptic Gospels but with the addition of the creation of the New Heaven and New Earth.

Jerusalem and the Temple of Solomon were destroyed by the Babylonian army on the 9th of Ab [Av] 587/6 BC and Jerusalem and the Second Temple were destroyed by the Roman Army on the 9th of Ab AD 70. Is this just an amazing coincidence or a prophesied act of divine judgment?
