A Revelation of Jesus Christ
a blessing for reading and hearing this prophecy. It must shortly come to pass. The first coming. Not the second. John the Baptist was preparing the way. John the Apostle knew this when he wrote to the seven churches. John Chrysostom, your brother, knew that when he was in Ephesus and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.

A Lamb of God
a voice crying is the wilderness. The word “lamb” is mentioned 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Baptist knew the “Lamb of God”. He was preparing the way for “the time is at hand”. John the Baptist did not know Jesus was the Lamb of God. John the Apostle knew that and was also aware of his following.

A Testimony of Jesus Christ
a “bare record”. It was John the Baptist “who bare record”. It was John the Apostle who wrote “to the seven churches”. It was John Chrysostom, “who also am your brother”, who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate and needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse. Three Johns.

A Little Book
a prophecy again. John the Apostle to the seven churches. John the Baptist who bare record knew the Lamb of God and the Apostle knew the Baptist. John Chrysostom, a third john and a brother, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate, the official bible of the Church.

A Prophecy
a second time. John the Apostle ate the little book that John the Baptist wrote and was told to prophesy again. Chrysostom, the third John, did the same. These are the three Johns in the first chapter of the Apocalypse. Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book for the time is near.
A Book
and was told to prophesy again. Why would John eat a little book? To get it into the bible. It is in the bible because certain key players believed it was written by the Apostle. So who wrote the little book that John ate? The Baptist. He was preparing the way for the Lamb.

A Third John
who also am your brother was in Ephesus not too far from Patmos in the year 401 when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate 405. The big question was whether it should include the Apocalypse. Jerome had to be convinced it was written by John the Apostle. Chrysostom would also need that proof. He had three months to get it.
A Fact
that demands some kind of explanation. Have you heard one? Probably not. A reasonable explanation is there were three different Johns connected with the Apocalypse. John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and John Chrysostom. It fits with history. Really.

A Clue
ignored by biblical scholars. John the Apostle knew Jesus was the Lamb. John the Baptist didn’t and John the Apostle knew this as well. So why would he use the word “lamb” 27 times and the word “Jesus” only 12 times? Who “bare record”? John the Baptist.

A Chapter
in Acts finds Paul in Ephesus with followers of John the Baptist. John the Apostle must have known about that. He may have been asked to prophesy again. He would eat the little book then add the churches, Antipas, and Jesus. The little book would not have made it into the bible unless they believed the Apostle wrote it. Many didn’t.
