8“IG1473 amG1510 theG3588 AlphaG1 andG2532 theG3588 OmegaG5598,1” saysG3004 the LordG2962 GodG2316, whoG3588 isG1510 andG2532 wasG1510 andG2532 is to comeG2064—theG3588 AlmightyG3841.
9IG1473, JohnG2491, yourG4771 brotherG80 andG2532 partnerG4791 inG1722 theG3588 tribulationG2347 andG2532 kingdomG932 andG2532 perseveranceG5281 that are inG1722 JesusG2424, wasG1096 onG1722 theG3588 islandG3520 ofG2564 PatmosG3963 because ofG1223 theG3588 wordG3056 of GodG2316 andG2532 my testimonyG3141 about JesusG2424. 10OnG1722 theG3588 Lord’sG2960 dayG2250 I wasG1096 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, andG2532 I heardG191 behindG3694 meG1473 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 likeG5613 a trumpetG4536, 11sayingG3004,2 “WriteG1125 onG1519 a scrollG975 whatG3739 you seeG991 andG2532 sendG3992 it to theG3588 sevenG2033 churchesG1577: toG1519 EphesusG2181, SmyrnaG4667, PergamumG4010, ThyatiraG2363, SardisG4554, PhiladelphiaG5359, andG2532 LaodiceaG2993.”
12ThenG2532 I turnedG1994 to seeG991 theG3588 voiceG5456 thatG3748 was speakingG2980 withG3326 meG1473. AndG2532 having turnedG1994, I sawG3708 sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087, 13andG2532 amongG1722G3319 theG3588 lampstandsG3087 was One likeG3664 the SonG5207 of ManG444,3 dressed in a long robeG1746G4158, with a goldenG5552 sashG2223 aroundG4024G4314 His chestG3149. 14TheG3588 hairG2359 of HisG846 headG2776 was whiteG3022 likeG5613 woolG2053, as whiteG3022 asG5613 snowG5510, andG2532 HisG846 eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a blazingG5395 fireG4442. 15HisG846 feetG4228 were likeG3664 polished bronzeG5474 refinedG4448 inG1722 a furnaceG2575, andG2532 HisG846 voiceG5456 was likeG5613 the roarG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16He heldG2192 inG1722 HisG846 rightG1188 handG5495 sevenG2033 starsG792, andG2532 a sharpG3691 double-edgedG1366 swordG4501 cameG1607 fromG1537 HisG846 mouthG4750. HisG846 faceG3799 was likeG5613 theG3588 sunG2246 shiningG5316 atG1722 itsG846 brightestG1411.
WhenG3753 I sawG3708 HimG846, I fellG4098 atG4314 HisG846 feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 man. But He placedG5087 HisG846 right handG1188 onG1909 meG1473 and saidG3004, “Do notG3361 be afraidG5399. IG1473 amG1510 theG3588 FirstG4413 andG2532 theG3588 LastG2078, 18theG3588 LivingG2198 One. I wasG1096 deadG3498, andG2532 beholdG2400, now I amG1510 aliveG2198 foreverG1519G3588G165 and everG165! AndG2532 I holdG2192 theG3588 keysG2807 ofG3588 DeathG2288 andG2532 ofG3588 HadesG86.
