A Major Player
who wrote about the Apocalypse. What he wrote is not as significant as when he wrote it. Augustine addresses the Apocalypse in chapter 7 of book 20 in City of God which was completed as late as 426 ce. Well after Jerome completed his Vulgate in 410 ce. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus in 401 ce. Can you connect the dots?

A Critical Piece
of the puzzle. The Roman Empire had seven dynasties. “There are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is.” John Chrysostom could have said that and Nikolai Morozov thinks he did based on astronomy. This is the third John of the Apocalypse. Based on history and numbers.

A Historical Fact
as early as the fourth century. Bishops were being bought and sold. People from Ephesus journeyed to Constantinople to a bishop that could be trusted. John Chrysostom was asked to clean up the mess. It was the beginning of the fifth century. He reluctantly agreed.

A Reliable Copy
of the Apocalypse. We know that John Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. Who in Ephesus could be trusted? Certainly not the seven bishops Chrysostom was replacing. Jerome knew all the major players and must have known Chrysostom was someone you could trust.

A Good Question
that needs an answer. Many believe it doesn’t belong in the Bible. They don’t think it was written by John the Apostle. John Chrysostom was one of them but he was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century and he had a chance to maybe look at the originals. Before this we do not know what the Apocalypse looked like. At this time Jerome was finishing the Vulgate which would become the official Bible of the Church.

A Date
for the Apocalypse. 30 September 395 and the author is John Chrysostom. All this according to Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov. For some reason R. H. Charles chose to include this in his book, “STUDIES IN THE APOCALYPSE”. There are more reasons to consider Chrysostom.
A Bare Record
in the first chapter of the Apocalypse. The name John is mentioned two times in the third person and once in the first person. John the Apostle knew “who bare record” and the seven churches. John the Baptist knew the Lamb and the seven spirits but not the churches or Jesus. John Chrysostom on the isle of Patmos at the beginning of the fifth century knew all of this including Jerome’s Latin translation of the bible. Nicolaus Morosow based on astronomy pointed to Chrysostom as the writer of the Apocalypse. All these dots can be connected in a reasonable way.
A Thousand Years
with the first resurrection and the second death. Constantine, the rider of the white horse, had started the thousand year empire and Augustine, Chrysostom, and Jerome were prominent members who would reign with Him.
Watch for more pieces that fit. Blessed is the one who looks.

A Canon
that includes the Apocalypse for one reason only. Jerome was convinced it was written by the Apostle John. Jerome communicated with everyone except Chrysostom. Chrysostom quoted every book of the Bible except the Apocalypse. He didn’t think it was written by the Apostle. His visit to Ephesus may have changed his mind.
