A Record of What Wasn’t –
A problem with Eusebius and Victorinus. They don’t seem to be aware of the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches but never associates them with the Apocalypse. Victorinus mentions the seven churches that Paul wrote to but not the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Was there a version of the Apocalypse that did not have the seven churches?

A Dog That Didn’t Bark –
A commentary by Victorinus on the Apocalypse. He mentions the seven churches that Paul wrote to but not the ones John wrote to. Eusebius has the same problem. He mentions six of the seven churches of the Apocalypse but never associates any of them with the Apocalypse.

A Scientist –
A project preserving the unfinished works of Sir Isaac Newton who was very interested in Daniel and the Apocalypse which is now available on Kindle. Newton felt self bound to communicate it for the benefit of others. Others felt self bound to bring it to you. It is now bound in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle.

A Dedication to Prophecy –
A commentary by Isaac Newton never completed but now published and available on Kindle for only 99 cents so you can easily search it. Find out his views on dynasties and their connection to seven heads and ten horns. Newton was a historian and believed much of prophecy has already happened and been revealed. Interesting.

A Newton Project –
A commentary on the Apocalypse. “Amongst the Interpreters of the last age there is scarce one of note who hath not made some discovery worth knowing; and thence I seem to gather that God is about opening these mysteries. The success of others put me upon considering it; and if I have done any thing which may be useful to following writers, I have my design.” Interesting.

A Vision Repeated –
A problem with interpretation. There is an unfounded assumption that the chapters of the Apocalypse are in chronological order which makes it impossible to understand. Each vision does not necessarily depend on the previous or following chapter. This was understood by Victorinus in the third century. It is called Recapitulation.
A historian and a commentary on the Apocalypse. A project documenting his works. “The folly of Interpreters has been, to foretell times and things by this Prophecy, as if God designed to make them Prophets. By this rashness they have not only exposed themselves, but brought the Prophecy also into contempt.” Interesting.

A Commentary By Augustine
A bible that includes the Apocalypse Augustine comments on the Apocalypse after Jerome includes it in the Vulgate while Chrysostom was in Ephesus before he was exiled from Constantinople. Three major players in the early Church. Chrysostom, the greatest of them all, could not protect himself from the corruption in the Church. Jerome and Augustine somehow survived like their works.
A Reasonable Explanation
A fit with what is known about John. The Baptist knew the lamb. The Apostle knew the Baptist, his followers, and the seven churches. Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops when Jerome was translating the bible. Once Jerome put the Apocalypse in the Bible, no one could take it out and Augustine would then comment on it.
A Prophet Like No Other
A preparation for the lamb, a word found 27 times in the Apocalypse but woe to anyone who might suggest John the Baptist was the first writer but she did anyway in her book, Revelation. The experts didn’t accept this and Josephine Massyngbaerde Ford took a lot of heat for this even though other commentators had suggested multiple writers. So who might be the other writers who did prophesy again?
