A Prophecy
A servant of God. He comes quickly. The Lamb of God known only to John the Baptist. Who, what, when, and why are now clear. The first coming. Prepare the way for the second coming. The way is the same. Repent for the time is at hand. Paul said there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,

A Proven Teaching Technique
A blocking of the truth is still needed to protect the lie. Repetition of the lie is never sufficient. Censorship is also required. The lie can’t handle the truth. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to state the truth every chance you get even though they will come after you.
A Servant Named John
A pure river of water of life. The revelation is not so clear. Where is clear. Who, when, what and why are not clear at all. John? Three times he identifies himself as John. The same John? Consider three different Johns. John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and John Chrysostom have all been considered.

A Recapitulation
A vision in the Apocalypse that is repeated. A theory developed by Victorinus that is necessary to understand what John wrote. It means chapters in the Apocalypse can’t be considered to be in chronological order. That only leads to misinterpretation and a great deal of confusion.
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 Revelation of Jesus Christ
A number to connect it with history. You can trust numbers. Not interpretation. Not even the translators who somehow get the numbers right. Historians do have trouble with dates but eventually they get it right. The fulfillment of prophecy can only be confirmed with numbers.
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 Servant of God
A servant named John. Named three times. The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants. That’s plural. There are three different Johns. The Baptist, the Apostle, and the Chrysostom. A reasonable explanation.
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.
