9 1I, JohnG2491, your 2brotherG80 and 3fellowG4791 participantG4791 in the tribulationG2347 and 4kingdomG932 and 5 6perseveranceG5281 in JesusG2424, was on the islandG3520 calledG2564 PatmosG3963 7becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 of GodG2316 and the testimonyG3141 of JesusG2424. 10I was 8in the 9SpiritG4151 on 10the Lord’sG2960 dayG2250, and I heardG191 behindG3694 me a loudG3173 voiceG5456 11likeG5613 the sound of a trumpetG4536, 11sayingG3004, “12WriteG1125 13on a scrollG975 whatG3739 you seeG991, and sendG3992 it to the 14sevenG2033 churchesG1577: to 15EphesusG2181, 16SmyrnaG4667, 17PergamumG4010, 18ThyatiraG2363, 19SardisG4554, 20PhiladelphiaG5359, and 21LaodiceaG2993.”

12ThenG2532 I turnedG1994 to seeG991 the voiceG5456 that was speakingG2980 with me. And after turningG1994 I sawG3708 22sevenG2033 goldenG5552 lampstandsG3087; 13and 23in the middleG3319 of the lampstandsG3087 I saw oneG3664 24likeG3664 25a sonG5207 of manG444, 26clothedG1746 in a robeG4158 reachingG4158 toG4158 theG4158 feetG4158, and 27wrappedG4024 aroundG4024 the chestG3149 with a goldenG5552 sashG2223. 14His headG2776 and His 28hairG2359 were whiteG3022 likeG5613 whiteG3022 woolG2053, likeG5613 snowG5510; and 29His eyesG3788 were likeG5613 a flameG5395 of fireG4442. 15His 30feetG4228 were likeG3664 31burnishedG5474 bronzeG5474 whenG5613 it has been heatedG4448 toG4448 aG4448 glowG4448 in a furnaceG2575, and His 32voiceG5456 was likeG5613 the soundG5456 of manyG4183 watersG5204. 16In His rightG1188 handG5495 He heldG2192 33sevenG2033 starsG792, and out of His mouthG4750 cameG1607 a 34sharpG3691 two-edgedG1366 swordG4501; and His 35faceG3799 was likeG5613 36the sunG2246 37shiningG5316 in its strengthG1411.

17WhenG3753 I sawG3708 Him, I 38fellG4098 at His feetG4228 likeG5613 a deadG3498 manG3498. And He 39placedG5087 His rightG1188 handG1188 on me, sayingG3004, “40Do not beG5399 afraidG5399; 41I amG1510 the firstG4413 and the lastG2078,
