Revelation 1:6-18

6and He madeG4160 us into a 1kingdomG932, 2priestsG2409 to 34His GodG2316 and FatherG3962--5to Him be the gloryG1391 and the dominionG2904 foreverG165 and everG165. AmenG281. 76BeholdG2400, 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. 9SoG3483 itG3483 isG3483 toG3483 beG3483. AmenG281.

8“I amG1510 10the AlphaG256 and the OmegaG5598,” saysG3004 the 11LordG2962 GodG2316, “12who is and whoG3588 was and who 13is to comeG2064, the AlmightyG3841.”

914I, JohnG2491, your 15brotherG80 and 16fellowG4791 participantG4791 in the tribulationG2347 and 17kingdomG932 and 1819perseveranceG5281 in JesusG2424, was on the islandG3520 calledG2564 PatmosG3963 20becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of GodG2316 and the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424. 10I was 21in the 22SpiritG4151 on 23the Lord’sG2960 dayG2250, and I heardG191 behindG3694 me a loudG3173 voiceG5456 24likeG5613 the sound of a trumpetG4536, 11sayingG3004, “25WriteG1125 26on a scrollG975 whatG3739 you seeG991, and sendG3992 it to the 27sevenG2033 churchesG1577: to 28EphesusG2181, 29SmyrnaG4667, 30PergamumG4010, 31ThyatiraG2363, 32SardisG4554, 33PhiladelphiaG5359, and 34LaodiceaG2993.”

12ThenG2532 I turnedG1994 to seeG991 the voiceG5456 that was speakingG2980 with me. And after turningG1994 I sawG3708 35sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087; 13and 36in the middleG3319 of the lampstandsG3087 I saw oneG3664 37likeG3664 38a sonG5207 of manG444, 39clothedG1746 in a robeG4158 reachingG4158 toG4158 theG4158 feetG4158, and 40wrappedG4024 aroundG4024 the chestG3149 with a goldenG5552 sashG2223. 14His headG2776 and His 41hairG2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5613 whiteG3022 woolG2053, likeG5613 snowG5510; and 42His eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. 15His 43feetG4228 were likeG3664 44burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474 whenG5613 it has been heatedG4448 toG4448 aG4448 glowG4448 in a furnaceG2575, and His 45voiceG5456 was likeG5613 the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16In His rightG1188 handG5495 He heldG2192 46sevenG2033 starsG792, and out of His mouthG4750 cameG1607 a 47sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501; and His 48faceG3799 was likeG5613 49the sunG2246 50shiningG5316 in its strengthG1411.

17WhenG3753 I sawG3708 Him, I 51fellG4098 at His feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 manG3498. And He 52placedG5087 His rightG1188 handG1188 on me, sayingG3004, “53Do not beG5399 afraidG5399; 54I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078, 18and the 55livingG2198 One; and I 5657was deadG3498, and beholdG2400, I amG1510 aliveG2198 forevermoreG165, and I haveG2192 58the keysG2807 of deathG2288 and of HadesG86.
