A Second John –
A prophecy repeated. John the Apostle to the seven churches. John the Baptist who bare record knew the Lamb of God and the Apostle knew the Baptist. John Chrysostom, a third john and a brother, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate, the official bible of the Church.

A Little Book To Eat –
A command to prophesy again. Why would John eat a little book? To get it into the bible. It is in the bible because certain key players believed it was written by the Apostle. So who wrote the little book that John ate? The Baptist. He was preparing the way for the Lamb.

A Prophecy Again –
A little book eaten by John the Apostle who added the seven churches. He was told to prophesy again. Followers of John the Baptist were found in Ephesus by Paul in Acts 19. This is a reasonable explanation of why John uses his name three times in the first chapter of the Apocalypse. Three different Johns.

A Prophet Like No Other
A preparation for the lamb, a word found 27 times in the Apocalypse but woe to anyone who might suggest John the Baptist was the first writer but she did anyway in her book, Revelation. The experts didn’t accept this and Josephine Massyngbaerde Ford took a lot of heat for this even though other commentators had suggested multiple writers. So who might be the other writers who did prophesy again?
A Second John Who Ate The Book
A reasonable explanation for the three Johns of the Apocalypse. John the Baptist is the first who bare record. John the Apostle is the second to the seven churches. John Chrysostom is the third who was in Ephesus just before Jerome defined the bible that would become the official bible of the Church.

A Reasonable Explanation
A question not addressed. Why does John introduce himself three times? He was asked to “prophesy again”. That could be another John. That’s two. Why not three? Multiple writers have been suggested by multiple commentaries. Both John the Baptist and John Chrysostom have been suggested.
A Prophecy Again
A second John to the seven churches. The apostle would eat the book and prophesy again. It is now his book. It gets in the bible because it is now his book. Not everyone believed that. Only the ones who were in charge of what went into the bible. Enter Jerome and the Vulgate.
