Revelation 1:6-14

6and He has madeG4160 us to be a 1kingdomG932, 2priestsG2409 to 3 4His GodG2316 and FatherG3962--5to Him be the gloryG1391 and the dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281. 7 6BeholdG2400, He is comingG2064 with the cloudsG3507, and 7everyG3956 eyeG3788 will seeG3708 Him, evenG2532 those whoG3748 piercedG1574 Him; and allG3956 the tribesG5443 of the earthG1093 will 8mournG2875 overG1909 Him. SoG3483 it is to be. AmenG281.

8“I amG1510 9the AlphaG256 and the OmegaG5598,” saysG3004 the 10LordG2962 GodG2316, “11who is and whoG3588 was and who 12is to comeG2064, the AlmightyG3841.”

9 13I, JohnG2491, your 14brotherG80 and 15fellowG4791 partakerG4791 in the tribulationG2347 and 16kingdomG932 and 17 18perseveranceG5281 which are in JesusG2424, was on the islandG3520 calledG2564 PatmosG3963 19becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of GodG2316 and the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424. 10I was 20 21in the SpiritG4151 on 22the Lord’sG2960 dayG2250, and I heardG191 behindG3694 me a loudG3173 voiceG5456 23likeG5613 the sound of a trumpetG4536, 11sayingG3004, “24WriteG1125 in a 25bookG975 whatG3739 you seeG991, and sendG3992 it to the 26sevenG2033 churchesG1577: to 27EphesusG2181 and to 28SmyrnaG4667 and to 29PergamumG4010 and to 30ThyatiraG2363 and to 31SardisG4554 and to 32PhiladelphiaG5359 and to 33LaodiceaG2993.”

12ThenG2532 I turnedG1994 to seeG991 the voiceG5456 that was speakingG2980 with me. And having turnedG1994 I sawG3708 34sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087; 13and 35in the middleG3319 of the lampstandsG3087 I saw oneG3664 36likeG3664 37a sonG5207 of manG444, 38clothedG1746 in a robeG4158 reachingG4158 to the feetG4158, and 39girdedG4024 acrossG4314 His chestG3149 with a goldenG5552 sashG2223. 14His headG2776 and His 40hairG2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5613 whiteG3022 woolG2053, likeG5613 snowG5510; and 41His eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442.
