Victorinus

A Commentary 

on the Apocalypse from the 3rd century that does not include Antipas or the seven churches.  Since Eusebius and Victorinus both have the same problem, they must have been looking at a copy of the Apocalypse that did not include them.  John the Baptist knows the Lamb, a word found 27 times in the Apocalypse but he did not know Antipas or the seven churches.  Just the seven spirits mentioned by Victorinus.

A Reasonable Explanation 

as to why some did not think the Apocalypse belonged in the Bible.  It looked like a Jewish Apocalyptic book without the churches, and the name of Jesus.  Something John the Baptist would write to prepare the way for the Lamb of God.  You will find lamb 27 times in the Apocalypse.

John the Apostle

A Second John 

knows who bare record.  John the Apostle also knows the followers of the Baptist in Ephesus mentioned in Acts 19.  He added the churches, Antipas, and Jesus.  The Apostle confirmed that Jesus was the Lamb mentioned 27 times in the Apocalypse.

John the Baptist

A First John 

who bare record to prepare the way.  The Apocalypse is about the first coming, not the second.  Just read it without the churches, Antipas, and Jesus.  You will find what John the Baptist wrote.  A careful reading of Eusebius and Victorinus will show that they were not aware of the churches or Antipas.  There is only one explanation for this.  Their copy did not contain them.  The one written by John the Baptist.  Just search the Bible for the word ‘lamb‘ and you will find John knows the Lamb of God
