1The Revelation of Yeshua Messiah, which God gave him to show to his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel to his servant John; 2who bore witness of the word of God, and of the testimony of Yeshua Messiah, even of all things that he saw. 3Blessed is he who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it: for the time is at hand. 4John to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace 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; 5and from Yeshua Messiah, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and loosed us from our sins by his blood; 6and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7Behold, he comes with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen. 8I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. 9I John, your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patience which are in Yeshua, was on the island that is called Patmos, for the word of God and the testimony of Yeshua. 10I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet 11saying, What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea. 12And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands; 13and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girded about at the breasts with a golden sash. 14And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15and his feet like burnished bronze, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters. 16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was as the sun shines in its strength. 17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Do not fear; I am the first and the last, 18and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. 19Write therefore the things which you saw, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter; 20the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies: and the seven lampstands are seven assemblies.
