¹⁷ My prayer is that the God of Jesus Christ our Lord, the all- glorious Father, may inspire you with wisdom and true insight through a fuller knowledge of himself; ¹⁸ That your minds may be so enlightened that you may realize the hope given by God's Call, the wealth of the glory of his heritage among Christ's People, ¹⁹ And the transcendent greatness of the power which he is able to exercise in dealing with us who believe in him.

¹⁶ For, with a loud summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the trumpet-call of God, the Lord himself will come down from Heaven. ¹⁷ Then those who died in union with Christ shall rise first; and afterwards we who are still living shall be caught up in the clouds, with them, to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall be for ever with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore, comfort one another with what I have told you.

¹ God, who, of old, at many times and in many ways, spoke to our ancestors, by the Prophets,

¹ Then I saw, 'rising out of the sea, a wild Beast with ten horns' and seven heads. On its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads were blasphemous names. ² The Beast that I saw was like a leopard; but its feet were like a bear's, and its mouth like the mouth of a lion. The Dragon gave it his power and his throne, and wide dominion. ³ One of its heads seemed to me to have been mortally wounded, but its deadly wound had been healed. The whole earth followed the Beast, wondering; ⁴ and men worshiped the Dragon, because he had given his dominion to the Beast; while, as they worshiped the Beast, they said-- 'Who can compare with the Beast? and who can fight with it?' ⁵ The Beast was given 'a mouth that spoke proudly' and blasphemously, and it was empowered to work its will for forty-two months. ⁶ It opened its mouth only to blaspheme God, to blaspheme his Name and his Tabernacle-- those who dwell in his Tabernacle in Heaven. ⁷ It had been permitted to fight with Christ's People and to conquer them, and it had received power over men of every tribe, and people, and language, and nation. ⁸ All who are living on earth will worship it--all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's Book of Life, the Lamb that has been sacrificed from the foundation of the world. ⁹ Let him who has ears hear. ¹⁰ 'Whoever is destined for captivity goes into captivity.' Whoever shall kill with the sword must inevitably be killed with the sword. (Here there is need for endurance and faith on the part of Christ's People.) ¹¹ Then I saw, rising out of the earth, another wild Beast. It had two horns like those of a lamb, and its voice was like a dragon's. ¹² It exercises all the authority of the first Beast under its very eyes; and it makes the earth and all who are living on it worship that first Beast, whose mortal wound was healed. ¹³ It performs great marvels, even causing fire to fall from the heavens to the earth, before men's eyes; ¹⁴ and in consequence of the marvels which it was allowed to perform under the eyes of the Beast, it is able to deceive all who are living on the earth. It bids those who live on the earth to make a statue in honour of the Beast, who, despite the wound from the sword, yet lived. ¹⁵ It was permitted to breathe life into the image of the Beast, so that the image of the Beast might speak; and it was also permitted to cause all who refused to worship the image of the Beast to be put to death. ¹⁶ High and low, rich and poor, freemen and slaves--it causes a brand to be put on the right hand or on the forehead of every one of them, ¹⁷ so that no one is able to buy or sell, except those that bear this brand--either the name of the Beast or the number indicated by the letters of his name. ¹⁸ (Here there is need for discernment.) Let him who has the ability compute the number of the Beast; for the number indicates a man's name. Its number is six hundred and sixty-six.

¹⁷ "Blessed are you, Simon, Son of Jonah," Jesus replied. "For no human being has revealed this to you, but my Father who is in Heaven.

⁸ Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him to make known to his servants, concerning what must shortly take place, and which he sent and revealed by his angel to his servant John, ² who testified to the Message of God and to the testimony to Jesus Christ, omitting nothing of what he had seen. ³ Blessed is he who reads, and blessed are they who listen to, the words of this prophecy, and lay to heart what is here written; for The Time is near. ⁴ From John, to the seven Churches which are in Roman Asia. Blessing and peace be yours from him who is, and who was, and who shall be, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne, ⁵ and from Jesus Christ, ' the faithful Witness, the First-born from the dead, and the Ruler of all the Kings of the earth.' To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his own blood-- ⁶ and he made us ' a Kingdom of Priests in the service of God,' his Father! --to Him be ascribed glory and dominion for ever. Amen. ⁷ 'He is coming among the clouds!' Every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him; 'and all the nations of the earth shall wail for fear of him.' So shall it be. Amen. ⁸ 'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord, the God who is, and who was, and who shall be, the Almighty. ⁹ I, John, who am your Brother, and who share with you in the suffering and kingship and endurance of Jesus, found myself on the island called Patmos, for the sake of the Message of God and the testimony to Jesus. ¹⁰ I fell into a trance on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like the blast of a trumpet. ¹¹ It said-- 'Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven Churches, to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamus, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicaea.' ¹² I turned to see what voice it was that spoke to me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lamps, ¹³ and in the midst of the lamps one 'like a man, in a robe reaching to his feet,' and with a golden girdle across his breast. ¹⁴ 'The hair of his head was as white as wool, as white as snow; his eyes were like flaming fire; ¹⁵ and his feet were like brass' as when molten in a furnace; 'his voice was like the sound of many streams,' ¹⁶ in his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like 'the sun in the fulness of its power.' ¹⁷ And, when I saw him, I fell at his feet like one dead. He laid his hand on me and said-- 'Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last, ¹⁸ the Everliving. I died, and I am alive for ever and ever. And I hold the keys of the Grave and of the Place of the Dead. ¹⁹ Therefore write of what you have seen and of what is happening now and of what is about to take place-- ²⁰ the mystic meaning of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamps. The seven stars are the Angels of the seven Churches, and the seven lamps are the seven Churches.

⁶ Then I heard 'what seemed to be the shout of a vast throng, like the sound of many waters,' and like the sound of loud peals of thunder, crying-- 'Hallelujah! For the Lord is King, our God, the Almighty. ⁷ Let us rejoice and exalt; and we will pay him honour, for the hour for the Marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready. ⁸ And to her it has been granted to robe herself in fine linen, white and pure, for that linen is the good deeds of the People of Christ.'

¹ Then I saw another mighty angel, descending from Heaven. His robe was a cloud; over his head was the rainbow; his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire; ² in his hand he held a little book open. He set his right foot on the sea, and his left on the land; ³ and he cried in a loud voice like the roaring of a lion. At his cry the seven peals of thunder spoke, each with its own voice. ⁴ And, when they spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from Heaven say-- 'Keep secret what the seven peals of thunder said, and do not write it down.' ⁵ Then the angel, whom I had seen standing on the sea and on the land, 'raised his right hand to the heavens, ⁶ and swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, and the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it,' that time should cease to be. ⁷ Moreover at the time when the seventh angel shall speak, when he is ready to blow his blast, then the hidden purposes of God, of which he told the good news to his servants, the Prophets, are at once fulfilled. ⁸ Then came the voice which I had heard from Heaven. It spoke to me again, and said--'Go and take the book that is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land.' ⁹ So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little book. And he said 'Take it, and eat it. It will be bitter to your stomach, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.' ¹⁰ I took the little book out of the angel's hand 'and ate it, and, while in my mouth, it was like the sweetest honey'; but, when I had eaten it, it was bitter to my stomach. ¹¹ And I was told--' You must prophesy again about men of many peoples, and nations, and languages, and about many kings.'
