Given a date of 96CE in asia minor, the author of revelation is likely to have imagined the earth the same way that everyone else around him did, flat. The same way we experience it, even today. The reason it was so widespread is that every major cosmology in the region just took for granted, for thousands of years, that this was so. There wasn't much of a reason for people to wonder or imagine otherwise, and there was no penalty or detriment to conceiving of the world as it intuitively appears.
If so much that we use, today, didn't depend on accurate data about things like that, and there were no social cost for such beliefs...there would be more flat earthers than there are.
