A REVELATION of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to show his servants [things] which must shortly occur, and he sent and made them known by his angel to his servant John,

AFTER this I saw, and behold, a door was opened in heaven, and the first voice which I heard was of a trumpet speaking to me, saying, Come up hither, and I will show you things that must occur hereafter.

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

And if any one will injure them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their adversaries; and if any one will injure them, he must thus be killed.

and are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he comes must continue a short time.

and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up and put a seal over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years were finished; after that he must be released a short time.

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.
