He loved Jesus very much and was always very close to Him. John, along James, his brother and Peter were Jesus' right hand men. The "inner 3" as Missler calls them. Decades after Jesus ascended to heaven, towards the end of John's life he was put on the island of Patmos to receive the Word of God, the Revelation of Jesus Christ. John was taken to heaven, and stood at God's throne. John was shown the end of days, know as the tribulation. He also saw the world to come, the new heavens and earth. It would be wonderful to be close to Jesus like that and to see such great and mighty things... That's the desires of my heart.

Revelation 1 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
1 This is what God showed to Jesus Christ, so that he could tell his servants what must happen soon. Christ then sent his angel with the message to his servant John. 2 And John told everything that he had seen about God’s message and about what Jesus Christ had said and done.
