REVELATION
(1:1) An apocalypse of Iesous Messiah, which the god gave him to reveal to his slaves what is destined to take place soon. He made it known by sending it through his slave Ioannes,
(1:2) who testifies of the Logos of the god and of the testimony of Iesous Messiah, as much as he saw.
(1:3) He who reads the words of the prophecy, and they who listen to them, are fortunate, as are they who adhere to what is written in it. For the time is at hand.
(1:4) Ioannes to the seven communes in Asia: Charisma and shalowm to you, from him who is and him who was and him who will be, and from the seven winds in front of his throne,
(1:5) and from Iesous Messiah, the witness (ho martys), the credulous, the firstborn of the dead and the archon of the kings of the land. To him who loves us and has released us from our disobediences by his blood,
(1:6) and who has made us a priestly theocracy to the god, his ancestor, to him is the magnificence and the strength through the eons of the eons. It’s a fact.
(1:7) Watch him coming with the clouds. Every eye is going to see him, even those who pierced him. They’re going to mourn because of him, all the tribes of the land. Yes, it’s a fact.
(1:8) “I am the first letter (alpha) and the last letter (omega),” says his Lordship the god, “he who is and he who was and he who will be, the ruler of all.”
(1:9) I, Ioannes, your kinsman who shares with you in the suffering and the theocracy and the stoicism of Iesous, was on the island called Patmos on behalf of the Logos of the god and of the witness Iesous.
(1:10) I was still breathing on his Lordship’s day, when I heard a loud voice behind me, resembling a trumpet,
(1:11) say, “Write what you see in a scroll, and send it to the seven communes, to Ephesus and Smyrna and Pergamon and Thyatira and Sardis and Philadelphia and Laodicea.”
(1:12) Then I turned to look at the voice speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden menorahs.
(1:13) And in the middle of one of the menorahs was the resemblance of the descendant of Adam, covered down to the feet and girded around the chest with a golden breastplate.
(1:14) His head and his hairs were white, like white wool or snow, and his eyes were like a flame of fire.
(1:15) His feet resembled polished bronze, tempered like a furnace, and his voice resembled the sound of many waters.
(1:16) In his right hand he held seven stars, while a sharp two-edged sword protruded from his mouth. And his face blazed with the full power of the sun.
(1:17) And when I saw him, I kowtowed like the dead at his feet. But he placed his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last.
