A Revelation
of what must shortly come to pass. Who are his servants? Who is his servant? There are three different Johns. John the Baptist who bare record. John the Apostle who knew the seven churches. John Chrysostom who was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century when Jerome was completing his Latin translation. The Vulgate.
A Reasonable Explanation
for all the issues surrounding the Apocalypse. When was it written? Who wrote it? Why was it written? John the Baptist was preparing the way for the first coming. John the Apostle was told to prophesy again to the seven churches. John Chrysostom convinced Jerome that the little book belonged in the bible. And the rest is history. Pay attention to history.
A Bare Record
in the first chapter of the Apocalypse. The name John is mentioned two times in the third person and once in the first person. John the Apostle knew “who bare record” and the seven churches. John the Baptist knew the Lamb and the seven spirits but not the churches or Jesus. John Chrysostom on the isle of Patmos at the beginning of the fifth century knew all of this including Jerome’s Latin translation of the bible. Nicolaus Morosow based on astronomy pointed to Chrysostom as the writer of the Apocalypse. All these dots can be connected in a reasonable way.
A Premise
that the only reason the Apocalypse is in the bible is because someone believed it was written by John the Apostle. That person is Jerome who defined the bible we have today. His authority was Pope Damasus I. His Vulgate would later become the official bible of the Catholic Church. Before this you won’t find a complete copy of the bible and certainly not a complete copy of the Apocalypse. We have to trust Jerome. Many wanted his ear and his ability to translate.
Watch for more pieces that fit. Blessed is the one who looks.

A Second John
to the seven churches. He ate the book and was told he must prophesy again. John the Apostle knew the followers of John the Baptist in Ephesus from Acts 19. He added the seven churches and Antipas. Jesus is the Lamb of the Apocalypse and the followers of the Baptist needed to know that.
Watch for more pieces that fit. Blessed is the one who looks.
