Context
The Prologue
1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ , which God gave him to show his servants what must happen very soon . He made it clear by sending his angel to his servant John ,
1:2 who then testified to everything that he saw concerning the word of God and the testimony about Jesus Christ .
1:3 Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy aloud, and blessed are those who hear and obey the things written in it , because the time is near !
1:4 From John , to the seven churches that are in the province of Asia : Grace and peace to you from “he who is ,” and who was , and who is still to come , and from the seven spirits who are before his throne ,
1:5 and from Jesus Christ – the faithful witness , the firstborn from among the dead , the ruler over the kings of the earth . To the one who loves us and has set us free from our sins at the cost of his own blood
1:6 and has appointed us as a kingdom , as priests serving his God and Father – to him be the glory and the power for ever and ever ! Amen .
1:7 (Look ! He is returning with the clouds , and every eye will see him , even those who pierced him , and all the tribes on the earth will mourn because of him . This will certainly come to pass ! Amen .)
1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega ,” says the Lord God – the one who is , and who was , and who is still to come – the All-Powerful !
1:9 I , John , your brother and the one who shares with you in the persecution , kingdom , and endurance that are in Jesus , was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus .
1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day when I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet ,
1:11 saying : “Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches – to Ephesus , Smyrna , Pergamum , Thyatira , Sardis , Philadelphia , and Laodicea .”
