Revelation 1:1-17

The revelation of  Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his servants  what must soon take place.  He made it known by sending his angel  to his servant John,  who testified to the word of God and to the testimony  of Jesus Christ,  whatever he saw.  Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy,  and blessed are those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep  what is written in it, because the time is near. John: To the seven churches in Asia. Grace and peace  to you from  the one who is, who was, and who is to come,  and from the seven spirits  , before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,  the firstborn from the dead  and the ruler of the kings of the earth.  To him who loves us and has set us free  from our sins by his blood,  and made us a kingdom,  priests  , to his God and Father #— #to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.  Look, he is coming with the clouds,   and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him. And all the tribes   of the earth   , will mourn over him.   , , So it is to be. Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,”  says the Lord God, “the one who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” I, John, your brother and partner in the affliction,  kingdom,  and endurance  that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.  I was in the Spirit  , on the Lord’s day, and I heard a loud voice behind me like a trumpet  saying, “Write   on a scroll   what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.” Then I turned to see whose voice  it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,  and among the lampstands was one like the Son of Man,  , dressed in a robe  and with a golden sash wrapped around his chest.  The hair of his head was white as wool #— #white as snow   #— #and his eyes like a fiery flame.  His feet were like fine bronze as it is fired in a furnace,  and his voice like the sound of cascading  waters.  He had seven stars in his right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from his mouth,  and his face was shining like the sun at full strength.  When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man.  He laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid. I am the First and the Last
