A Revelation
A preparation for what is to come. John the Baptist prepared the way for the first coming. Who is preparing for the second coming? The Laity. Vatican 2 gives us the authority in Lumen Gentium 36. This is the “spirit of Vatican 2” that we can use to reach all nations.
A Revelation
A testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is he that readeth. Augustine read it. “Why then read it if only to keep silence about it?” Understanding it is a challenge. You may not have time for this. You may not have that much time. It’s later than you think. You may need help understanding it. Ask for it.

A Revelation of Jesus Christ
A blessing for reading and hearing this prophecy. It must shortly come to pass. The first coming. Not the second. John the Baptist was preparing the way. John the Apostle knew this when he wrote to the seven churches. John Chrysostom, your brother, knew that when he was in Ephesus and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate.

A White Robe
A rest for a little season while more are killed for the word of God. They were killed for their testimony. History records the numbers killed due to beliefs. Nothing new here except our ability to ignore the red horse, the black horse, and the pale horse.
A Good News Testimony
A Lamb of God to loose the seals. The word “lamb” is found 27 times in the Apocalypse first written by John the Baptist. It should be the first book of the New Testament and not the last for the time was at hand for the first coming.
A Revelation
A purely Jewish composition if you take away the churches and the name of Jesus, which is mentioned only 12 times. Lamb is mentioned 27 times. John the Baptist knew the Lamb of God. John the Apostle knew that. He also knew Jesus and the churches. He also knew about the followers of the Baptist in Ephesus.

A Blessing
A bare record. A revelation for those who have an ear. Listen for the time is near for the second coming. Two thousand years ago the time was near for the first coming. John the Baptist was preparing the way for the Lamb of God. The word “lamb” can be found 27 times in the Apocalypse. Think about that. It is about the Lamb.

A Book of Revelation
A bare record. A revelation to shew unto his servants. That’s plural. There is more than one John. John the Baptist who bare record. John the Apostle to the seven churches. John Chrysostom who also am your brother. It’s complicated but I can explain if you are really interested.

A Testimony of Jesus Christ
A “bare record”. It was John the Baptist “who bare record”. It was John the Apostle who wrote “to the seven churches”. It was John Chrysostom, “who also am your brother”, who was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing his Vulgate and needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse. Three Johns.

A Prophecy
A testimony of Jesus Christ. Sealed by Daniel but not by John. What has been revealed is still a mystery to all of us. Many have theories as to what it may be with little agreement. Most would like to know what the future holds and a few are willing to inspect history for clues but misleading interpretations prevent them from recognizing what has already happened.
