THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST

 

The Revelation of Jesus Christ,

Which God Gave to Show His Servants

WHAT MUST SOON TAKE PLACE.

He made it Known by Sending His Angel

To His Servant John,

2 Who Testifies to Everything he Saw--

That is, the Word of God

And the Testimony of Jesus Christ.

3 BLESSED IS THE ONE WHO READS ALOUD

THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHESY

AND BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HEAR IT

AND TAKE TO HEART

WHAT IS WRITTEN IN IT,

BECAUSE THE TIME IS NEAR.

4 John,

To the Seven Churches in the Province of Asia.

Grace and Peace to You

From Him Who Is and Was

AND IS TO COME,

And from the Seven Spirits Before His Throne,

5 And from Jesus Christ,

Who is the Faithful Witness,

The Firstborn from the Dead,

AND THE RULER OF THE KINGS OF THE EARTH.

(Revelation 1:1-5, NIV)
