Revelation 1:3-8
31Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and 2heed the things which are written in it; 3for the time is near.
44John to 5the seven churches that are in 6Asia: 7Grace to you and peace, from 8Him who is and who was and who 9is to come, and from 10the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5and from Jesus Christ, 11the faithful witness, the 12firstborn of the dead, and the 13ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who 14loves us and released us from our sins 15by His blood-- 6and He has made us to be a 16kingdom, 17priests to 1819His God and Father--20to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 721Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and 22every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will 23mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
8“I am 24the Alpha and the Omega,” says the 25Lord God, “26who is and who was and who 27is to come, the Almighty.”
