A Record of What Wasn’t – 

A problem with Eusebius and Victorinus.  They don’t seem to be aware of the seven churches of the Apocalypse.  Eusebius mentions six of the seven churches but never associates them with the Apocalypse.  Victorinus mentions the seven churches that Paul wrote to but not the seven churches of the Apocalypse.  Was there a version of the Apocalypse that did not have the seven churches?

A Reason for the Apocalypse – 

A revelation of what must shortly come to pass.  Why?  To prepare the way for the first coming.  The Lamb of God.  Not the second coming.  Jesus.  Lamb is mentioned 27 times.  Jesus is mentioned only 12 times.  John the Baptist prepared the way for the Lamb of God.  He didn’t know it was Jesus.
