* A REVELATION of Jesus Christ which God gave to him , to make known to his servants things which must soon take place . He sent and made it known through his angel to his servant John , * who bears witness to the message of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ \'97 everything that he saw . * Blessed is he who reads , and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep in mind what is written in it ; for the time is near . * John to the seven Churches in Asia : Grace be to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come , and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne , * and from Jesus Christ , the faithful witness , the first-born of the dead , and the ruler of the kings of the earth . To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood , * and made us a kingdom , priests to God his Father , to him be glory and power for the ages of the ages ! Amen . * He is coming with clouds and every eye will see him , even of those who pierced him , and all the tribes of the earth will beat their breasts because of him . Yes , Amen . * says the Lord God , * I , John , your brother and fellow sharer in the distresses and the kingdom and the endurance in Jesus , came to the island called Patmos , for the sake of the message of God and the testimony of Jesus . * I became in the Spirit on the Lord 's day and heard behind me a loud voice , as of a trumpet , * saying , * I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me , and upon turning I saw seven golden lampstands * and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man , clothed in a robe that reached his feet , and girded across the breast with a golden girdle . * His head and his hair were white , like white wool , like snow , and his eyes were like a flame of fire , * and his feet were like fine brass when molten in a furnace , and his voice was like the sound of many waters . * He had in his right hand seven stars , and from his mouth there issued a sharp two-edged sword . His face was like the sun shining in full strength . * When I saw him I fell at his feet as if dead . But he laid his right hand on me and said : riversident @Revelation:1:18 " /> riversident @Revelation:1:19 " /> riversident @Revelation:1:20 " />
