The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which mustshortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto hisservant John: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of JesusChrist, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of thisprophecy, and keep those things which are written therein:

John, grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the sevenSpirits which are before his throne; I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning andthe ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, theAlmighty.

I, John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the islethat is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of JesusChrist. I was in the Spirit on theLord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, I amAlpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, what thou seest, write in a book.

And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst of the sevencandlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to thefoot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow;and his eyes were as a flame of fire; and his feet like unto fine brass, as ifthey burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars:and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was asthe sun shineth in his strength. Andwhen 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: I am hethat livethand have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and thethings which shall be hereafter.

These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh inthe midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour,and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thouhast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found themliars: and hast borne, and hastpatience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in themidst of the paradise of God.

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith: Tohim that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will givehim a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knowethsaving he that receiveth it. Thesethings saith he that hath the seven Spirits of the living God, and the sevenstars. Be watchful. Remember therefore how thou hast receivedand heard, and hold fast. If therefore thou shalt not watch, thou shalt notknow what hour I will come.

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will confess his name before my Father, and before hisangels. He that hath an ear, let himhear what the Spirit saith. Thesethings saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key thatopeneth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; I have setbefore thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a littlestrength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Because thou hastkept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour oftemptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell uponthe earth.

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Behold, I standat the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I willcome in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcomethwill I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am setdown with my Father in his throne. Hethat hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith.

After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talkingwith me; which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must behereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit; and, behold, a throne was setin heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: andthere was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four andtwenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothedin white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before thethrone. And before the throne there was a sea ofglass like unto crystal: And I saw in the right hand of him that sat onthe throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with sevenseals. The book was shining white witha life-sized image of the Lamb on the front. The book was taller thanit was wide. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice,Who isworthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and toread the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not.

And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb having the seven Spirits of the livingGod. And I beheld, and I heard thevoice of many angels of Light round about the throne saying with a loud voice,Worthy is the Lamb.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder. And I saw, and behold Jesus, majestically radiant, and clothed in whiteraiment and he had a sword; and a warrior’s protective helmet was given untohim.

And he opened the second seal. And there went out a rider in brown raiment on a horse that was light chestnut brown: and power was given to him thatsat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill oneanother: and there was given unto him a great sword.

And when he opened the third seal I beheld, and lo another rider in black raiment on a black horse; and he that sat on him held inhis hand a black lantern that shineth not.

And he opened the fourth seal. And I looked, and behold a riderin silvery-grey raiment upon a grey horse: and his name that sat on him wasDeath, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over thefourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death,and with the beasts of the earth.

And three of the riders had with them huge armies. The army led bythe rider on the brown horse was exceedingly strong and fresh. The rider on the black horse fell to theground, as if dead. Then cometh therider in the silvery-grey raiment to lift up the black rider. The black rider and his army mingled withthe silvery-grey army led by the rider in silvery-grey raiment. Together, they fought against the rider inbrown raiment and its army. The army ofthe silvery-grey rider and the army led by the rider in black raiment weredetermined yet tired. As the brown,black and silvery-grey armies engaged in battle, Jesus calmly watched on.

And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of the living God, and for thetestimony which they held: And white robes were given unto every one of them;and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season untiltheir fellowservants also and their brethren join them.

And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and themoon became as blood; and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as afig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when itis rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of theirplaces. And the kings of the earth, andthe great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men,and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in therocks of the mountains; and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, andhide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from theLamb: For the great day is come; andwho shall be able to stand?

And after these things I saw four angels of Darkness standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth,that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.

And I saw an angel of Light ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angelsof Darkness, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying, Hurtnot the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servantsof our living God in their foreheads.

After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stoodbefore the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms intheir hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation from our living Godwhich sitteth upon the throne, and from the Lamb. And the Lamb showed me a pure river of water of life, clear ascrystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, andyielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healingof the nations. And there shall be nomore curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and hisservants shall serve him: And they shallsee his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and theyneed no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light:and they shall reign for ever and ever.

And when he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven. And I saw the seven angels ofLight which stood before the living God; and to them were given seventrumpets. And there were voices, andthunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake.

And the seven angels of Light which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The firstangel of Light sounded its warning of peril from Darkness, and there followedhail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: And the third part of trees was burnt up,and all green grass was burnt up.

And the second angel of Light sounded its warning of peril from Darkness, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast intothe sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; and the third part of thecreatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of theships were destroyed.

And the third angel of Light sounded its warning of peril from Darkness, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were alamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains ofwaters; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

And the fourth angel of Light sounded its warning of peril from Darkness, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part ofthe moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them wasdarkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

And I beheld, and heard an angel of Light flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters ofthe earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels ofLight, which are yet to sound their warnings!

And the fifth angel of Light sounded its warning of peril from Darkness, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to anangel of Darkness was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and therearose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun andthe air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And in those days shall men seek death, andshall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee fromthem. And the shapes of the locustswere like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it werecrowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they hadbreastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings wasas the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, andthere were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men fivemonths. And they had a king over them,which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue isAbaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.

One woe is past; and, behold, there come two woes more hereafter.

And the sixth angel of Light sounded its warning of peril from Darkness, and I heard a voice saying to the sixth angel of Light which hadthe trumpet, Loose the four angels of Light who were imprisoned by Darkness whichare bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels of Light were loosed.

And the seventh angel of Light sounded its warning of peril from Darkness. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devilis come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath buta short time.

And thus I saw the three horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: andthe heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouthsissued fire and smoke and brimstone. Bythese three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke,and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. For their power is in their mouth, and intheir tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and withthem they do hurt.

The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

And I saw a mighty angel of Light come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as itwere the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right footupon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and cried with a loud voice, aswhen a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered theirvoices.

And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write down those things which theseven thunders uttered, which were: TheLamb will defeat the dragon and its beast at the end of time in the battle ofArmageddon.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads, and upon his heads the name ofblasphemy. And the beast which I sawwas like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouthas the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, andgreat authority.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gavepower unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like untothe beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him amouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against the living God, to blaspheme his name, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and toovercome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, andnations. And all that dwell upon theearth shall worship him.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the firstbeast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worshipthe first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And the angel of Light which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, and sware by him that liveth forever and ever that there should be time no longer: But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel of Light, whenhe shall begin to sound, the mystery of the Anunnaki God should be finished, ashe hath declared to his servants the prophets.

And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angelwhich standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the littlebook. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy bellybitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.

And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, mybelly was bitter.

And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.
