Book 66 Revelation 001:001 The revelation given by Jesus Christ, which God granted
Him, that He might make known to His servants certain events which must shortly come
to pass: and He sent His angel and communicated it to His servant John. 001:002 This is
the John who taught the truth concerning the Word of God and the truth told us by Jesus
Christ--a faithful account of what he had seen. 001:003 Blessed is he who reads and

blessed are those who listen to the words of this prophecy and lay to heart what is written
in it; for the time for its fulfillment is now close at hand. 001:004 John sends greetings to
the seven Churches in the province of Asia. May grace be granted to you, and peace,
from Him who is and was and evermore will be; and from the seven Spirits which are
before His throne; 001:005 and from Jesus Christ, the truthful witness, the first of the
dead to be born to Life, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and
has freed us from our sins with His own blood, 001:006 and has formed us into a
Kingdom, to be priests to God, His Father-- to Him be ascribed the glory and the power
until the Ages of the Ages. Amen. 001:007 He is coming in the clouds, and every eye will
see Him, and so will those who pierced Him; and all the nations of the earth will gaze on
Him and mourn. Even so. Amen. 001:008 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord
God, "He who is and was and evermore will be--the Ruler of all." 001:009 I John, your
brother, and a sharer with you in the sorrows and Kingship and patient endurance of Jesus,
found myself in the island of Patmos, on account of the Word of God and the truth told us
by Jesus. 001:010 In the Spirit I found myself present on the day of the Lord, and I heard
behind me a loud voice which resembled the blast of a trumpet. 001:011 It said, "Write
forthwith in a roll an account of what you see, and send it to the seven Churches--to
Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyateira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea." 001:012 I
turned to see who it was that was speaking to me; and then I saw seven golden
lampstands, 001:013 and in the center of the lampstands some One resembling the Son of
Man, clothed in a robe which reached to His feet, and with a girdle of gold across His
breast. 001:014 His head and His hair were white, like white wool--as white as snow; and
His eyes resembled a flame of fire. 001:015 His feet were like silver-bronze, when it is
white-hot in a furnace; and His voice resembled the sound of many waters. 001:016 In
His right hand He held seven stars, and a sharp, two-edged sword was seen coming from
His mouth; and His glance resembled the sun when it is shining with its full strength.
001:017 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if I were dead. But He laid His right hand
upon me and said, "Do not be afraid: I am the First and the Last, and the ever-living One.
001:018 I died; but I am now alive until the Ages of the Ages, and I have the keys of the
gates of Death
