1 The Revelation of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], which God-The Father gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his slave Yochanan [Yehovah has graced]:
2 Who bore record of the word of God-The Father, and of the testimony of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], and of all things that he saw.
3 Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [is] he that reads, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it: for the time [is] at hand.
4 Yochanan [Yehovah has graced] to the seven churches which are in Asia [orient]: 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;
5 And from Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], [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,
6 And has made us kings and priests unto God-The Father and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, he comes with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord - Kurios, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
9 I Yochanan [Yehovah has graced], who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God-The Father, and for the testimony of Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].
10 I was in the Spirit [Ruach] on the Lord - Kurios’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What youi see, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia [orient]; unto Ephesus [permitted], and unto Smyrna [myrrh], and unto Pergamos [height or elevation], and unto Thyatira [odour of affliction], and unto Sardis [red ones], and unto Philadelphia [brotherly love], and unto Laodicea [justice of the people].
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and wrapped around about the breasts with a golden belt.
14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his Countenance (Face, appearance; show favor) [was] as the sun shines in his strength.
17 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:
18 I [am] he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which youi have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 The mystery of the seven stars which youi saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which youi saw are the seven churches.
