A Writer Named John
A confirmation that the Apostle wrote the Apocalypse was needed for it to be in the bible today. Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. Many didn’t believe it was written by the Apostle and therefore didn’t belong in the bible. Thanks to Jerome we have it in the bible today.

A Faith That Gives Hope
A freedom to believe and speak. Be not afraid. Prophecy revealed in history is more comforting than what might be promised for the future. It’s there. You just have to look for it with numbers and colors which can confirm the connection between prophecy and its fulfillment in history. You have to believe.
A Sacred Bible
A list of books that might not contain the Apocalypse at the end of the fourth century. John Chrysostom, who never quoted the Apocalypse, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century and Jerome was finishing his Vulgate. Was Chrysostom able to confirm that the Apocalypse was written by the Apostle?

A Cleanup On Aisle Three
A confusion in the making. Where is the truth? “To whom shall we go?” Thank you Peter for asking. Also thanks to all the translators who got it right or at least agreed as to what was said. Someone has to make the call. Someone has to be in charge. Especially if you prefer to have some kind of order. Chaos can get ugly.
A Revelation of Jesus Christ
A blessing for reading and hearing this prophecy. It must shortly come to pass. The first coming. Not the second. John the Baptist was preparing the way. John the Apostle knew this when he wrote to the seven churches. John Chrysostom, your brother, knew that when he was in Ephesus and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.

A Servant of God
A “lamb” and the “bare record” ties John the Baptist to the Apocalypse. Vischer holds the Apocalypse to have been originally a purely Jewish composition. It would not have included the seven churches that Eusebius and Victorinus failed to recognize. A reasonable explanation why they didn’t.

A Lack Of Definition
A license for interpretation. Prophecy has been hijacked by changing the meaning of words and the future is the only place for it. The Word of God is at the mercy of translators. Even the numbers and colors that they agree on have been symbolized thus allowing many different interpretations.
A Lamb of God
A voice crying is the wilderness. The word “lamb” is mentioned 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Baptist knew the “Lamb of God”. He was preparing the way for “the time is at hand”. John the Baptist did not know Jesus was the Lamb of God. John the Apostle knew that and was also aware of his following.

A Veiled Prophecy
A revelation of what is to come. Sealed by Daniel but not by John. The future is not ours to know but history can confirm the fulfillment of prophecy. How? With numbers and colors. All the translators seem to agree on these words if not their meaning.
