A Third John –
A companion in tribulation. Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. He could have gone to Patmos for the word of God. He must have known about Jerome who was translating the bible and that many believed the Apocalypse didn’t belong in the bible unless of course it was written by the Apostle. He could find out.
A First Coming
A kingdom at hand. The time was near. John the Baptist knew the Lamb, a word used 27 times in the Apocalypse. He wrote the first one. Later John the apostle added Jesus and the seven churches. He knew about the followers of John the Baptist in Ephesus. There must be a third John.

A Third John
A confirmation that the apostle wrote the Apocalypse was necessary to get it in the Bible which was being translated and defined by Jerome. Just before the Vulgate was completed John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. Jerome needed a reliable version of the Apocalypse.

A Third John
A necessary connection to the Apocalypse. How it became part of the bible. Many did not think it belonged there. John Chrysostom was one of them and he was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. Astronomy points to Chrysostom as the writer of the Apocalypse according to Morozov. There are other reasons.

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 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 Writer Of The Apocalypse
A constellation of stars is revealing. “Revelation in Thunder and Storm” by Morozov, an astronomer, has Chrysostom writing the Apocalypse in 395. He did run into a thunderstorm on his way to Ephesus in 401. Chrysostom, your brother, could be the third John of the Apocalypse.
