<p class="bodytext">The one who testifies to these things says, &#8220;Yes, I am coming soon!&#8221; Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">I, John, your brother and the one who shares<n id="1" /> with you in the persecution, kingdom, and endurance that<n id="2" /> are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus.<n id="3" />

who then<n id="1" /> testified to everything that he saw concerning the word of God and the testimony about<n id="2" /> Jesus Christ.

This requires<n id="1" /> the steadfast endurance<n id="2" /> of the saints &#8211; those who obey<n id="3" /> God&#8217;s commandments and hold to<n id="4" /> their faith in Jesus.<n id="5" />p>

So<n id="1" /> I threw myself down<n id="2" /> at his feet to worship him, but<n id="3" /> he said, &#8220;Do not do this!<n id="4" /> I am only<n id="5" /> a fellow servant<n id="6" /> with you and your brothers<n id="7" /> who hold to the testimony about<n id="8" /> Jesus. Worship God, for the testimony about Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">The revelation of Jesus Christ,<n id="1" /> which God gave him to show his servants<n id="2" /> what must happen very soon.<n id="3" /> He made it clear<n id="4" /> by sending his angel to his servant<n id="5" /> John,

and from Jesus Christ &#8211; the faithful<n id="1" /> witness,<n id="2" /> 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<n id="3" /> from our sins at the cost of<n id="4" /> his own blood

So<n id="1" /> the dragon became enraged at the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children,<n id="2" /> those who keep<n id="3" /> God&#8217;s commandments and hold to<n id="4" /> the testimony about Jesus.<n id="5" /> <v id="(12:18)" /> And the dragon<n id="6" /> stood<n id="7" /> on the sand<n id="8" /> of the seashore.<n id="9" />p>

I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of those who testified to Jesus.<n id="1" /> I<n id="2" /> was greatly astounded<n id="3" /> when I saw her.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star!&#8221;<n id="1" />

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw thrones and seated on them were those who had been given authority to judge.<n id="2" /> I also saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of the testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. These<n id="3" /> had not worshiped the beast or his image and had refused to receive his mark on their forehead or hand. They<n id="4" /> came to life<n id="5" /> and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
