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 Jewish Composition
A German scholar Vischer held that the Apocalypse was “originally a purely Jewish composition”. Taking away the seven churches and the 12 references to Jesus and you are left with the word “lamb” mentioned 27 times. John the Baptist prepared the way for The Lamb of God. He could have written the original Apocalypse.

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 Servant of God
A “lamb” and the “bare record” ties John the Baptist to the Apocalypse. Vischer holds the Apocalypse to have been originally a purely Jewish composition. It would not have included the seven churches that Eusebius and Victorinus failed to recognize. A reasonable explanation why they didn’t.

A Witness
A Church History that includes six of the seven churches that John wrote to but Eusebius never associates them with the Apocalypse. Victorinus doesn’t even mention them. Is it possible there is a version of the Apocalypse that doesn’t include the seven churches? It could be a reasonable explanation for what we are looking at.

A Witness
A view of what was. We don’t know what the Apocalypse looked like in the third century. Victorinus knew and we know what his commentary looked like. It didn’t include the seven churches John wrote to. It did include the seven churches Paul wrote to. There is a reasonable explanation for this.

A Word Kept
A letter to the church in Philadelphia. This is a test. A word you may not find in your bible. The door has been opened but you can’t enter without the works. He knows your works. We are being tested and once again we are being asked to overcometh. If you have an ear, listen to what the spirit is saying to the churches.
A Need To Watch
A letter to the church in Sardis. Be watchful. Watch for the signs of things to come. Your name is in the book of life but it can be removed. The second death. He will come as a thief. Be prepared. Repent. Watch. Overcometh. Listen if you have an ear.
A Woman Called Jezebel
A letter to the church in Thyatira. Fornication promoted by feminism is destroying Life, Marriage, and Family. Homosexuality has corrupted the Church from within. The teachings haven’t changed. They are just being ignored by those who would change them if they could.
A Church
A star and a light for the world. A Guide. The seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Those churches no longer exist. Christianity no longer exists there. Replaced with Islam. The churches in Europe are also being replaced and Muslims are rapidly taking over.
