A Fact
that demands some kind of explanation. Have you heard one? Probably not. A reasonable explanation is there were three different Johns connected with the Apocalypse. John the Baptist, John the Apostle, and John Chrysostom. It fits with history. Really.

A Reasonable Explanation
as to when it was written. We all know it was written by John. Which John? We have three to choose from. John who bare record. John to the seven churches. John who is our brother. To say they are all the same John is not reasonable. You have to consider the possibility that they are different.

A Strange Beginning
in the Apocalypse. Why is John mentioned three times? Has anyone addressed this in a reasonable way? Could they actually be three different people all named John? Victorinus and Eusebius gives us reason to believe that. Victorinus in his commentary doesn’t mention Antipas or the seven churches. He does mention the seven churches Paul wrote to. Eusebius doesn’t mention Antipas. He does mention six of the seven churches but doesn’t associate them with the Apocalypse. Both may be looking at the first version written by John the Baptist.

A Working Theory
that addresses why there is little agreement on the Apocalypse. Who wrote it? When was it written? Why was it written? Where was it written? How did it get in the bible? Three johns is pure speculation but it does address all these issues.
Watch for more pieces that fit. Blessed is the one who looks.

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.

A Reasonable Theory
that explains the why, when, and what of the Apocalypse. The first one bare record. The second to the seven churches. The third who also am your brother. The Baptist, the Apostle, and your brother. Three johns that answers all the outstanding questions about the Apocalypse. It even makes sense. It is all about the Lamb.
