a patriarch exiled 

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 Turn Of The Fifth Century 

A major player.  Jerome was finishing his Vulgate and Augustine was starting his City of God.  Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops.  The Church was in good hands.  Jerome and Augustine exchanged letters.  Chrysostom, who was exiled, exchanged letters with the pope.  The Apocalypse was in the bible.  These dots can now be connected.

A Writer Named John 

A confirmation that the Apostle wrote the Apocalypse was needed for it to be in the bible today.  Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.  Many didn’t believe it was written by the Apostle and therefore didn’t belong in the bible.  Thanks to Jerome we have it in the bible today.

A list of books that might not contain the Apocalypse at the end of the fourth century.  John Chrysostom, who never quoted the Apocalypse, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century and Jerome was finishing his Vulgate.  Was Chrysostom able to confirm that the Apocalypse was written by the Apostle?
