Jesus

Happy and holy is he who is having part in the first rising again; over these the second death hath not authority, but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

And I saw a great white throne, and Him who is sitting upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven did flee away, and place was not found for them;

And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, new I make all things; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;'

and He said to me, `It hath been done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life freely;

he who is overcoming shall inherit all things, and I will be to him--a God, and he shall be to me--the son,

And there came unto me one of the seven messengers, who have the seven vials that are full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, `Come, I will shew thee the bride of the Lamb--the wife,'

and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb,

and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb;

and there may not at all enter into it any thing defiling and doing abomination, and a lie, but--those written in the scroll of the life of the Lamb.

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb:

and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,

and they shall see His face, and His name is upon their foreheads,

And he said to me, `These words are stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly:

Lo, I come quickly; happy is he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.'

And lo, I come quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to each as his work shall be;

I am the Alpha and the Omega--the Beginning and End--the First and the Last.

`Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city;

`I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star!

he saith--who is testifying these things--`Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus!

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen.
