A Reason for the Apocalypse
A preparation for the Way, the Truth, and the Life. This was a job for John the Baptist. He knew the Lamb. He knew Daniel. He knew the Old Testament. He bare record. He was the first John. John the Apostle was the second. Chrysostom was the third. It’s complicated but it can be explained.

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 Place Called Patmos
A man named John. Just one of His servants. There are two more also named John. The first bare record. The second wrote to the seven churches. The third was on the isle of Patmos. Three different Johns. A reasonable explanation for some of the questions surrounding the Apocalypse.
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 Voice Crying in the Wilderness
A bare record ties the Apocalypse to John the Baptist. He was preparing the way for the Lamb, a word found 27 times in the Apocalypse. John the Apostle knew the seven churches and John the Baptist who knew Daniel. They are all connected and we can use numbers and history to find out what has been prophesied and how it was fulfilled.

A Connection to John the Baptist
A Lamb of God. A “bare record” clearly points to John the Baptist. So does the word “lamb”. This also explains why the time is at hand. He was preparing the way for the first coming. John the apostle knew all this when he added the seven churches and Jesus to his version of the Apocalypse.
