A Third John –
A patriarch was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. At the time five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had already fallen and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. He may have needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse to translate. John Chrysostom was someone you could trust.

A Time That Was Near –
A lamb. John the Baptist was preparing the way for the lamb. The word lamb is found 27 times in the Apocalypse. The time was at hand for the first coming. John the Baptist was the first John who bare record. There would be two more. The Apostle who knew the seven churches and Chrysostom who would be in Ephesus replacing seven bishops.
A Key Part Of The Apocalypse –
A beast with seven heads. There were seven dynasties of Rome and Chrysostom is the only John who could say five are fallen. This depends on Constantinople being Babylon the Great. Does it fit? No other city comes close. It can be found no more at all unless you have an old map. It is still a mystery and likely to remain so until the end when knowledge shall increase.
A Third John –
A companion in tribulation. Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. He could have gone to Patmos for the word of God. He must have known about Jerome who was translating the bible and that many believed the Apocalypse didn’t belong in the bible unless of course it was written by the Apostle. He could find out.
A Reasonable Explanation
A fit with what is known about John. The Baptist knew the lamb. The Apostle knew the Baptist, his followers, and the seven churches. Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven bishops when Jerome was translating the bible. Once Jerome put the Apocalypse in the Bible, no one could take it out and Augustine would then comment on it.
A book with three writers named John: John who bare record, John to the seven churches, and John who am your brother. Lots of unsettled questions: Who?, When?, and now Where? Only the third John admits to being on the Isle of Patmos. Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches but never associates them with the Apocalypse. Victorinus only mentions the seven churches Paul wrote to. So why not speculate?
A Date for the Apocalypse
A bishop, John Chrysostom, is the writer according to the astronomer Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov who sets the date as 395. At this time five of the seven dynasties of Rome had fallen. Chrysostom was in Ephesus at the end of the fourth century. Would he not look for evidence of the most famous book of the bible?

A Third John
A confirmation that the apostle wrote the Apocalypse was necessary to get it in the Bible which was being translated and defined by Jerome. Just before the Vulgate was completed John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. Jerome needed a reliable version of the Apocalypse.

A John
A canon that only considers apostles. So why did they think John wasn’t the apostle? The apostle wouldn’t use his name five times. He wouldn’t say lamb more times then Jesus. The Baptist would since he didn’t know Jesus was the Lamb. The apostle knew who “bare record” and Jesus.

A Sacred Bible
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?
