A connecting of the Apocalypse with John the Apostle and John the Baptist. Acts 19 connects Ephesus with the followers of the Baptist. The Apostle is already connected. Irenaeus of the 2nd century mentions ancient copies of the Apocalypse. Sounds like an Apocalypse that preceded the Apostle and the seven churches.
A First John
A writer of the original Apocalypse. The “bare record” suggests John the Baptist wrote the first version. The word “lamb” that is found 27 times also points to the Baptist who is preparing the way for the first coming which must shortly come to pass. The Baptist is just one of His servants that were named John.

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.
