Introduction
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him. to shew unto his servants things which
must surely come to pass; and he sent and signified it
by his angel unto his servant John: "
Who bare record of the word
of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things
that he
saw.
Blessed is he he that readeth,
and they that hear the words of this prophecy. and keep those
things
which are
written therein: for the time is at hand. |

John to the seven
churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from
him which is and
which was, and which is
to come; and from the seven
Spirits which are before his throne;
And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and
the first begotten of the dead, and the prince
of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own
blood,
And hath made us kings and priests
unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever
and ever. Amen.
Behold, he cometh with clouds;
and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him:
and all kindreds of the earth shall wail be-cause of him. Even
so, Amen.
I am Alpha and Omega, the be-ginning
and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which
is to come, the Almighty. |

I John, who also
am your brother, and companion in tribu-lation, and in the kingdom
and p-atience of Jesus
Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of
God, and for the testimony of Jesus. Christ
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's
day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega,
the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book,
and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia:
unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira,
and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Lao-dicea
And I turned to see the voice
that spake with me, And being turned. I saw seven golden candle-sticks
;
And in the midst of the seven
candlesticks one like unto the son of man. clothed with
a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden
girdle.
His head and his hairs
were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were
as a flame of fire;
And his feet like unto fine brass,
as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of
many waters.
And he had in his right hand seven
stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and
his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
And when I saw him, I fell at
his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto
me. Fear not; I am the first and the last:
I am he that liveth, and was dead;
and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys
of hell. and death |
(4) The command to write.

Write the things
which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things
which shall be here-after;
The mystery ot the seven
stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven
golden candle-sticks. The seven
stars are the angels of the seven
churches: and the seven
candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven
churches. "

"Here is wisdom.
Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast:
for it is the num-ber of a man; and his number is Six

and six.
