chrysostom Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 Why would John introduce himself three times in the first chapter of the Apocalypse? Because there are three different Johns. One "who bare record". One who wrote "to the seven churches". One "who also am your brother". John the Baptist John the Apostle John Chrysostom It fits with history.

chrysostom Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 John Chrysostom was in Ephesus replacing seven corrupt bishops at the same time Jerome was finishing his Vulgate. At the beginning of the fifth century, it was not clear if the bible should include the Apocalypse. Jerome put it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrysostom Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 (edited) Revelation 17:10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. Rome had seven dynasties and John Chrysostom is the only one who could say, "five are fallen". He is the third John of the Apocalypse Edited August 19 by chrysostom add link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
