Revelation 1:8-11

8"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

9I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet

11saying, "Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."
