John of Patmos, along with the authors of Jude and 2 Peter, believed that the new righteous order would be brought into being through God's direct and violent intervention, as described in the book of Revelation with the destruction of the old heaven and earth and the establishment of a new Jerusalem. This belief is rooted in apocalyptic literature, which emphasizes the idea of divine intervention in human history to bring about a new age of justice and righteousness.
