THE FIFTH SCRIBING
And to the angel of the ecclesia in Sardis, scribe: Thus words he who has the seven Spirits of Elohim and the seven stars: I know your works - that you have a name that you live, and are dead. 2 Be watchful and establish the rest who are about to die: for I have not found your works fulfilled/shalamed in the sight of Elohim. 3 So remember how you took and heard: and guard and repent: so whenever you watch not I come upon you as a thief; and you never no way know what hour I come upon you. 4 You have a few names - even in Sardis who stained not their garments: and they walk with me in white because they are worthy. 5 Whoever triumphs arrays in white garments: and I never no way erase his name from the scroll of life, and I confess his name in sight of my Father and in sight of his angels. 6 Whoever has an ear, hear what the Spirit words to the ecclesiae. 7
THE SIXTH SCRIBING
And to the angel of the ecclesia in Philadelphia, scribe: Thus words the holy, the true, who has the key of David: who opens and no one shuts and shuts and no one opens: 8 I know your works: behold, I give an open portal in your sight and no one can shut it: because you have a little dynamis and guard my word and deny not my name. 9 Behold, I give them of the synagogue of Satan, who word themselves to be Yah Hudiym and are not, but lie: behold, I have them come and worship in sight of your feet so that they know I loved you. 10 Because you guarded the word of my patience I also guard you from the hour of testing - about to come on all the world to test them who settle on the earth. 11 Behold, I come quickly: empower what you have so no one takes your wreath. 12 Whoever triumphs I make a pillar in the nave of my Elohim; and he never no way still goes out: and I scribe on him the name of my Elohim and the name of the city of my Elohim - the new Yeru Shalem descending from the heavens from my Elohim and my new name. 13 Whoever has an ear, hear what the Spirit words to the ecclesiae. 14
THE SEVENTH SCRIBING
And to the angel of the ecclesia of the Laodiceans, scribe: These words the Amen, the trustworthy and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim: 15 I know your works - that you are neither cold nor hot: O that you were cold or hot. 16 So because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I am about to vomit you from my mouth: 17 because you word, Because I am rich and enriched and need naught! - and know not that you are miserable and least mercied and poor and blind and naked: 18 I counsel you to market of me gold fired by the fire to enrich you: and white garments to array you so that you not manifest the shame of your nakedness: and anoint your eyes with poultice so that you see. 19 As many as ever I befriend I reprove and discipline: so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the portal and knock: whenever anyone hears my voice and opens the portal, I come in to him and sup with him - and he with me. 21 Whoever triumphs, I give to sit with me in my throne; even as I also triumphed and sit with my Father in his throne. 22 Whoever has an ear, hear what the Spirit words to the ecclesiae. 4 1
IN SPIRIT, IN THE HEAVENS
After these I perceive, and behold, an opened portal in the heavens: and the first voice I hear is as a trumpet speaking with me; wording, Ascend hither, and I show you what must be after these *. *some mss place after these at the beginning of verse 2 2 And after these * straightway I became in spirit: and behold, a throne set in the heavens and one sitting on the throne: 3 and he sitting is in vision like stone - a jasper and a sardius: and a rainbow surrounds the throne in vision like an emerald. 4 And surrounding the throne, twenty-four thrones: and on the thrones I see twenty-four elders sitting - arrayed in white garments; and wreaths of gold on their heads: 5 and from the throne proceed lightnings and thunderings and voices: and seven lamps of fire burning in sight of the throne - which are the seven Spirits of Elohim: 6 and in sight of the throne a sea of glass like crystaline: and midst the throne and surrounding the throne, four live beings full of eyes in front and in back. 7 And the first live being, like a lion; and the second live being, like a calf; and the third live being has a human face; and the fourth live being, like a flying eagle. 8 And the four live beings are each surrounded with six wings and full of eyes within: and they have no rest day and night, wording, Holy, holy, holy, Yah Veh El Sabaoth, who was and who is and who is coming. Isaiah 6:3 9 And when the live beings give glory and honor and eucharist to him sitting on the throne who lives to the eons of the eons, 10 the twenty-four elders fall in sight of him sitting on the throne, and worship him who lives to the eons of the eons and cast their wreaths in sight of the throne, wording, 11 You are worthy, O Yah Veh, to take glory and honor and dynamis: because you created all and for your will they are and were created.
