So write what you have seen, what is and what is to take place hereafter.

"To the messenger of the church in Ephesus write: 'The One who is holding the seven stars in His right hand and is walking among the golden lampstands speaks as follows:

When the seven thunders had rumbled, I was going to write it down, but I heard a voice from heaven say: "Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down!"

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, "Write: 'Blessed are the dead who from this time die as Christians.'" "Yes," says the Spirit, "let them rest from their toils, for the things they have done are going with them."

Then he said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are they who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.' These," he said to me, "are the true words of God."

Then He who was seated on the throne said, "See! I am making everything new." He continued, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true."

Ephesus

Then they came to Ephesus, and Paul left them there. He went into the synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

From Miletus he sent to Ephesus for the elders of the church.

If from merely human motives I have fought wild beasts here in Ephesus, what profit will it be to me? If the dead are never raised at all, "Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we shall be dead."

But I shall stay on in Ephesus until the time of Harvest Feast.

Paul, by God's will an apostle of Christ Jesus, to God's people who are faithful in Christ Jesus;

As I begged you to do when I was on my way to Macedonia, I still beg you to stay on in Ephesus to warn certain teachers
