A Servant of God
A “lamb” and the “bare record” ties John the Baptist to the Apocalypse. Vischer holds the Apocalypse to have been originally a purely Jewish composition. It would not have included the seven churches that Eusebius and Victorinus failed to recognize. A reasonable explanation why they didn’t.

A Good News Testimony
A Lamb of God to loose the seals. The word “lamb” is found 27 times in the Apocalypse first written by John the Baptist. It should be the first book of the New Testament and not the last for the time was at hand for the first coming.
A Blessing
A bare record. A revelation for those who have an ear. Listen for the time is near for the second coming. Two thousand years ago the time was near for the first coming. John the Baptist was preparing the way for the Lamb of God. The word “lamb” can be found 27 times in the Apocalypse. Think about that. It is about the Lamb.

A Bare Record
A connection. A bare record ties John the Baptist to John the Apostle and the Lamb of God. Just the word “lamb” ties John the Baptist to the Apocalypse. Only John the Apostle knew John the Baptist knew the Lamb of God. The original Apocalypse was about the first coming, which must shortly come to pass, to prepare the way.

A Revelation
A purpose was to prepare the way for the first coming. John the Baptist was to introduce the Lamb of God to the world. The word “lamb” can be found 27 times in the Apocalypse. “Jesus” only 12 times. The word “Jesus” could have been added later by John the Apostle who knows John the Baptist knows the Lamb of God.

A connecting of the Apocalypse with John the Apostle and John the Baptist. Acts 19 connects Ephesus with the followers of the Baptist. The Apostle is already connected. Irenaeus of the 2nd century mentions ancient copies of the Apocalypse. Sounds like an Apocalypse that preceded the Apostle and the seven churches.
A Failure To Mention The Seven Churches
A fourth century historian, Eusebius, mentions six of the seven churches but fails to associate them with the Apocalypse. Early copies of the Apocalypse no longer exist but if they did they might not contain seven churches. John the Baptist knew the “lamb” but not the churches.
A Voice Crying in the Wilderness
A bare record ties the Apocalypse to John the Baptist. He was preparing the way for the Lamb, a word found 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Apostle knew the seven churches and John the Baptist who knew Daniel. They are all connected and we can use numbers and history to find out what has been prophesied and how it was fulfilled.

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.

A Crisis in the Church
A prediction made by Mary. We have to rely on the laity. Fight not flight. A few will stay and fight for His Church. You can be a part of this. If you have an ear, listen to what the Spirit saith unto the churches. You will be told what to do. Prepare the way. Be a voice crying in the wilderness. John the Baptist pray for us.
