A Commentary on the Apocalypse
A dog that didn’t bark. Victorinus didn’t mention the churches. He does mention the seven churches that Paul wrote to. So why not mention the seven churches that John wrote to? It is possible that his version of the Apocalypse didn’t have the seven churches. We need to look at Eusebius to see if he has the same problem.

A History
A witness to what no longer exists. What was Victorinus looking at when he wrote his commentary on the Apocalypse? What was Eusebius looking at when he wrote his history of the Church? We can only speculate based on what they wrote and what is reasonable. Can we make sense of it?

A Recapitulation
A commentary on the Apocalypse by Victorinus who introduced the theory of recapitulation. Without it misinterpretation is likely. The visions of John cannot be understood to be in chronological order. Each vision should be considered independent of the others. Some are a repetition of others. Recapitulation is a necessary tool in understanding the Apocalypse.

A Church With Seven Associations
A first look at what no longer exists. Victorinus from the second century commented on the Apocalypse. He mentions the seven churches Paul wrote to but not the ones John wrote to. This has not been addressed by the scholars so we can only speculate why. His version of the Apocalypse didn’t have seven churches.

A Church History
A dog that didn’t bark. A commentary that doesn’t include the seven churches. A Church history that doesn’t connect the seven churches with the Apocalypse. Is there a reasonable explanation? Their version of the Apocalypse did not mention the seven churches. There are other reasons to suspect this.

A Theory
A few have suggested multiple writers of the Apocalypse. Vischer held that the Apocalypse was “originally a purely Jewish composition”. – Josephine Massyngbaerde Ford may have been the first to suggest it was first written by John the Baptist. Considering these possibilities can lead to a better understanding.
Home 20
A speculation on the Apocalypse. J. Massyngberde Ford may have been the first to suggest John the Baptist wrote the first version of the Apocalypse. Others had already suggested multiple writers. “Studies in the Apocalypse” by R. H. Charles suggests it was first written in Hebrew and later translated into Greek.
A Commentary With Missing Churches
A reason to believe an early Apocalypse. Victorinus wrote a commentary with missing churches. Eusebius wrote a Church History and mentions 6 of the seven churches but never connects them with the Apocalypse. This suggests an early version of the Apocalypse that did not contain the churches.
