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 Connection to John the Baptist
A Lamb of God. A “bare record” clearly points to John the Baptist. So does the word “lamb”. This also explains why the time is at hand. He was preparing the way for the first coming. John the apostle knew all this when he added the seven churches and Jesus to his 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 Time
A writer. It was written by John on Patmos. Don’t know when or which John. Are there three of them? Why does John introduce himself three or four times? These questions have not been answered so we are forced to speculate based on what was written by those who read what no longer exists. What were they looking at?

A Hidden Knowledge
A prophecy no longer sealed. In the end knowledge shall be increased per Daniel. John was told to Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book. The time is near. There will be signs. Watch for them. Endure and overcometh. This is a test. A word not found in some bibles. Some will not understand. Those with insight shall.
A Testimony
A shewing to His servants (plural). His servant, (singular), John who bare record is tied to John the Apostle in his gospel. Start at the beginning. The first verse. This is a clue that there is more than one John. Three different Johns. One who bare record, one to the churches, and one who is also your brother. This is just the first clue.
A key piece of the puzzle. Only John Chrysostom could say, “five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come”. He was talking about the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire. Only an astronomer could say John Chrysostom, who was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century, wrote the Apocalypse. Only R. H. Charles would include something like this in his book”Studies in the Apocalypse”. Really.
A Second Coming
A long time ago the time was near for the first coming. Just ask John the Baptist who was preparing the way. He knew the Lamb, a word used 27 times in the Apocalypse. Just ask John the Apostle who knew who bare record. Prepare the way for the second coming.

A First Coming
A man sent from God. His name was John. A voice crying in the wilderness preparing the way for the Lamb of God. The word “lamb” found 27 times is the Apocalypse. John the Baptist who “bare record” was mentioned by John the Apostle to the seven churches. John Chrysostom is also your brother. The third John.
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.
