And one of the elders said to me, Weep not; behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered, he is opening the book and its seven seals.

And the four cherubs said, Amen. And the elders fell down and worshipped:

and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,

And one of the elders answered and said to me, Who are those clothed with white robes, and whence did they come?

And I said to him, My Lord, you know. And he said to me, These are those who come out from great affliction, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little book. And he said to me, Take and eat it, and it will embitter your stomach, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.

And they said to me, You must prophesy again before peoples and nations and tongues and many kings.

And a rod was given me like a staff, and he said, Arise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those that worship in it.

And the angel said to me, Why did you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast which carries her, having the seven heads and ten horns.

And he said to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

And again they said, Halleluia, and her smoke ascends forever and ever.

And he said to me, Write, Blessed are those who are called to the wedding supper of the Lamb. And he told me, These are the true words of God.

And I fell before his feet to worship him. And he said to me, See [that you do it] not; I am your fellow-servant and of your brothers who have the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

And he that sits on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said, Write that these words are faithful and true.

And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.

And he said to me, These words are faithful and true, and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show his servants what must shortly occur.

And he said to me, See [that you do it] not; for I am your fellow servant and of your brothers the prophets and of those that keep the words of this book; worship God.

And he said to me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; the time is at hand.
