A Careful Reading 

of Eusebius and Victorinus will show that they were not aware of Antipas or the churches in the Apocalypse.  Eusebius spends a lot of time on martyrs and even mentions two from Pergamus but does not mention Antipas.  He mentions all but one of the churches in the Apocalypse but never associates them with the Apocalypse.  Victorinus has the same problem.  He mentions all the churches Paul wrote to but never mentions the churches John wrote to and doesn’t mention Antipas.  So what were they looking at?  The first version of the Apocalypse written by John the Baptist.  It didn’t have Antipas, the churches, or Jesus.

A Lamb 

of God.  John the Baptist didn’t know Jesus was the Lamb until John saw the Spirit descending, and remaining on him. That is why you will find the word ‘lamb’ (29) more times than the word ‘Jesus’ (14).  Jesus was added along with the churches and Antipas by John the Apostle when he was told to eat the little book and prophesy again.  Acts 19 confirms followers of John the Baptist in Ephesus and John the Apostle would have to deal with them.

A Bare Record 

in the KJV of the bible.  Who bare record?  John the Baptist according to John the Apostle.  Just search “bare record“.   So the original purpose of the Apocalypse was to prepare the way for the first coming and not the second.  This is the why.  John the Baptist was preparing the way.

A First Question 

that should be asked and answered before considering the who, the when, and the what.  Why was the Apocalypse written in the first place?  To shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass.  So why after 2000 years are we still looking into the future?  Why do we refer to it as the end times?  Also, please note that ‘servants’ means more than one.  More than one John.

A Little Book 

of prophecy.  Did John eat his own book?  Why would you have to eat your own book?  Why would you have to introduce yourself three times.  These are easy questions.  The answer is easy.  There is more than one John.  Three to be exact.
