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 Canon
a redaction at the turn of the fifth century. Jerome defined the bible when he finished the Vulgate which would become the official bible of the Church. It contains the oldest existing copy of the Apocalypse. We can only speculate on what it looked like before that time based on other older existing documents.

a dynasty. Five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come. The Roman Empire had seven dynasties. Chrysostom is the only significant John during the sixth dynasty and he was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. Someone had to verify that John the Apostle wrote the Apocalypse to get it in the bible.

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 Reasonable Explanation
a history of the Apocalypse. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. It would become the official bible of the Church. It would confirm once and for all that the Apocalypse belonged in the bible. Before that the jury was out. Chrysostom was just one of those who didn’t accept the Apocalypse. What could be the reason?

A Rainbow
a correct bible version. Thanks to Jerome and his Vulgate we now know the bow in the hand of the rider of the white horse is a rainbow, a covenant like Genesis 9:13. This artist gets it right based on Jerome’s use of the word “acrum” meaning rainbow. An important clue in naming the rider. Constantine.
A Little Book
a prophecy again. John the Apostle to the seven churches. John the Baptist who bare record knew the Lamb of God and the Apostle knew the Baptist. John Chrysostom, a third john and a brother, was in Ephesus at the beginning of the fifth century when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate, the official bible of the Church.

A Third John
was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops. At the time five of the seven dynasties of the Roman Empire had already fallen and Jerome was finishing the Vulgate. He may have needed a reliable copy of the Apocalypse to translate. John Chrysostom was someone you could trust.

A Third John
who also am your brother was in Ephesus not too far from Patmos in the year 401 when Jerome was finishing the Vulgate 405. The big question was whether it should include the Apocalypse. Jerome had to be convinced it was written by John the Apostle. Chrysostom would also need that proof. He had three months to get it.
A Major Player
who wrote about the Apocalypse. What he wrote is not as significant as when he wrote it. Augustine addresses the Apocalypse in chapter 7 of book 20 in City of God which was completed as late as 426 ce. Well after Jerome completed his Vulgate in 410 ce. John Chrysostom was in Ephesus in 401 ce. Can you connect the dots?
