46JohnG2491 to 7the sevenG2033 churchesG1577 that are in 8AsiaG773: 9GraceG5485 to you and peaceG1515, from 10Him who is and who was and who 11is to comeG2064, and from 12the sevenG2033 SpiritsG4151 whoG3739 are beforeG1799 His throneG2362, 5and from JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 13the faithfulG4103 witnessG3144, the 14firstbornG4416 of the deadG3498, and the 15rulerG758 of the kingsG935 of the earthG1093. To Him who 16lovesG25 us and releasedG3089 us from our sinsG266 17by His bloodG129-- 6and He has madeG4160 us to be a 18kingdomG932, 19priestsG2409 to 2021His GodG2316 and FatherG3962--22to Him be the gloryG1391 and the dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281. 723BeholdG2400, He is comingG2064 with the cloudsG3507, and 24everyG3956 eyeG3788 will seeG3708 Him, evenG2532 those whoG3748 piercedG1574 Him; and allG3956 the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 will 25mournG2875 overG1909 Him.

8“I amG1510 26the AlphaG256 and the OmegaG5598,” saysG3004 the 27LordG2962 GodG2316, “28who is and whoG3588 was and who 29is to comeG2064, the AlmightyG3841.”

930I, JohnG2491, your 31brotherG80 and 32fellowG4791 partakerG4791 in the tribulationG2347 and 33kingdomG932 and 3435perseveranceG5281 which are in JesusG2424, was on the islandG3520 calledG2564 PatmosG3963 36becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of GodG2316 and the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424. 10I was 3738in the SpiritG4151 on 39the Lord’sG2960 dayG2250, and I heardG191 behindG3694 me a loudG3173 voiceG5456 40likeG5613 the sound of a trumpetG4536, 11sayingG3004, “41WriteG1125 in a 42bookG975 whatG3739 you seeG991, and sendG3992 it to the 43sevenG2033 churchesG1577: to 44EphesusG2181 and to 45SmyrnaG4667 and to 46PergamumG4010 and to 47ThyatiraG2363 and to 48SardisG4554 and to 49PhiladelphiaG5359 and to 50LaodiceaG2993.”

12ThenG2532 I turnedG1994 to seeG991 the voiceG5456 that was speakingG2980 with me. And having turnedG1994 I sawG3708 51sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087; 13and 52in the middleG3319 of the lampstandsG3087 I saw oneG3664 53likeG3664 54a sonG5207 of manG444, 55clothedG1746 in a robeG4158 reachingG4158 to the feetG4158, and 56girdedG4024 acrossG4314 His chestG3149 with a goldenG5552 sashG2223. 14His headG2776 and His 57hairG2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5613 whiteG3022 woolG2053, likeG5613 snowG5510; and 58His eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. 15His 59feetG4228 were likeG3664 burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474, whenG5613 it has been madeG4448 to glowG4448 in a furnaceG2575, and His 60voiceG5456 was likeG5613 the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16In His rightG1188 handG5495 He heldG2192 61sevenG2033 starsG792, and out of His mouthG4750 cameG1607 a 62sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501; and His 63faceG3799 was likeG5613 64the sunG2246 65shiningG5316 in its strengthG1411.

17WhenG3753 I sawG3708 Him, I 66fellG4098 at His feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 manG3498. And He 67placedG5087 His rightG1188 handG1188 on me, sayingG3004, “68Do not be afraidG5399; 69I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, 18and the 70livingG2198 One; and I 7172was deadG3498, and beholdG2400, I amG1510 aliveG2198 forevermoreG165, and I haveG2192 73the keysG2807 of deathG2288 and of HadesG86. 19ThereforeG3767 74writeG1125 75the things whichG3739 you have seenG3708, and the things whichG3739 are, and the things whichG3739 will takeG1096 placeG1096 76afterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778. 20As for the 77mysteryG3466 of the 78sevenG2033 starsG792 whichG3739 you sawG3708 in My rightG1188 handG1188, and the 79sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087: the 80sevenG2033 starsG792 are the angelsG32 of 81the sevenG2033 churchesG1577, and the sevenG2033 82lampstandsG3087 are the sevenG2033 churchesG1577.
