A Strange Beginning

in the Apocalypse. Why is John mentioned three times? Has anyone addressed this in a reasonable way? Could they actually be three different people all named John? Victorinus and Eusebius gives us reason to believe that. Victorinus in his commentary doesn’t mention Antipas or the seven churches. He does mention the seven churches Paul wrote to. Eusebius doesn’t mention Antipas. He does mention six of the seven churches but doesn’t associate them with the Apocalypse. Both may be looking at the first version written by John the Baptist.

maybe

A Problem

with Genesis. It says, “let them have dominion” over all the earth and “Be fruitful, and multiply“. Nothing about carbon. 0 Bible results for “carbon.” We need a green bible to save the planet. They will cling to their guns and bibles. The pope can’t stop that. Maybe he can change the bible.

listen

A Revelation

of things which must shortly come to pass. The first coming. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. For the second coming. How long? Not until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Not how long but how many.

works

A Test

that will verify your beliefs. What you do is what you are. What you say is what you want others to hear. If you have an ear, listen to what the spirits are saying. He knows your works.

your decision

A Destination

that is not predetermined. It starts with hope or what you want. Then comes faith or a belief that you can get what you want. This will be tested, a word you won’t find in some bibles. Charity is a big part of the test. Without it you are but a sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. Many shall be refined, purified, and tested.

the Vulgate

A Translation

of the bible by Jerome. Where did he get his copies? We have no copies of the Apocalypse older than what is in the Vulgate. Jerome had to rely on others for reliable copies. We can only speculate but it must be consistent with historical records that somehow survived. History is all we have so we must rely on being led to the right stuff. Ask for directions.

to shew unto his servants

A Revelation

of what must shortly come to pass. Who are his servants? Who is his servant? There are three different Johns. John the Baptist who bare record. John the Apostle who knew the seven churches. John Chrysostom who was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century when Jerome was completing his Latin translation. The Vulgate.

not proof but

A Reasonable Explanation

for all the issues surrounding the Apocalypse. When was it written? Who wrote it? Why was it written? John the Baptist was preparing the way for the first coming. John the Apostle was told to prophesy again to the seven churches. John Chrysostom convinced Jerome that the little book belonged in the bible. And the rest is history. Pay attention to history.

Antipas

A Missing Martyr

in the Church History by Eusebius. Martyrs from Pergamus are not missing. Carpus and Papylus, and a woman named Agathonice are mentioned as martyrs in Pergamus but not Antipas. Victorinus doesn’t mention Antipas or the seven churches. Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches but never associates them with the Apocalypse. There is a reasonable explanation for this. Their copy did not have them. The first version written by John the Baptist.

A Strange Introduction

that doesn’t get enough attention. Combine this with John being told to “prophesy again” after eating the little book. Is there a record of him prophesying again? Yes but the record of John prophesying the first time is missing except for a few clues. The dog that didn’t bark. Eusebius and Victorinus did not mention Antipas or the seven churches. Were they looking at the first Apocalypse written by John the Baptist?
