a reason to believe 

A Reasonable Explanation – 

A history of the Apocalypse.  John Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.  It would become the official bible of the Church.  It would confirm once and for all that the Apocalypse belonged in the bible.  Before that the jury was out.  Chrysostom was just one of those who didn’t accept the Apocalypse.  What could be the reason?

A Third John – 

A necessary connection to the Apocalypse.  How it became part of the bible.  Many did not think it belonged there.  John Chrysostom was one of them and he was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.  Astronomy points to Chrysostom as the writer of the Apocalypse according to Morozov.  There are other reasons.

A Vulgate – 

A canon that included the Apocalypse.  Before ChrysostomJerome, and Augustine, it was not clear if the Apocalypse belonged in the bible.  At the beginning of the fifth century these three were major players in the Church and the bible was being defined.  It is clear now. Thank you Jerome.

A Date for the Apocalypse – 

A bishop, John Chrysostom, is the writer according to the astronomer Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov who sets the date as 395.  At this time five of the seven dynasties of Rome had fallen.  Chrysostom was in Ephesus at the end of the fourth century.  Would he not look for evidence of the most famous book of the bible?  Was Chrysostom the third John of the Apocalypse?
