He that is holy

Each of the four living creatures had six wings; they were covered with eyes around and inside. Day and night they never stop, saying:

Holy, holy, holy,
Lord God, the Almighty,
who was, who is, and who is coming.

They cried out with a loud voice: “Lord, the One who is holy and true, how long until You judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?”

For You will not abandon me to Sheol;
You will not allow Your Faithful One to see decay.

Surely our shield belongs to the Lord,
our king to the Holy One of Israel.

The Lord is righteous in all His ways
and gracious in all His acts.

And one called to another:

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts;
His glory fills the whole earth.

Get out of the way!
Leave the pathway.
Rid us of the Holy One of Israel.”

Do not fear, you worm Jacob,
you men of Israel:
I will help you—
this is the Lord’s declaration.
Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel.

The Holy One of Israel is our Redeemer;
Yahweh of Hosts is His name.

This is what the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says:

I am Yahweh your God,
who teaches you for your benefit,
who leads you in the way you should go.

This is what the Lord,
the Redeemer of Israel, his Holy One, says
to one who is despised,
to one abhorred by people,

to a servant of rulers:
“Kings will see and stand up,
and princes will bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel—and He has chosen you.”

Indeed, your husband is your Maker—
His name is Yahweh of Hosts—
and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
He is called the God of all the earth.

so you will summon a nation you do not know,
and nations who do not know you will run to you.
For the Lord your God,
even the Holy One of Israel,
has glorified you.”

“What do You have to do with us, Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

“Leave us alone! What do You have to do with us, Jesus—Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—the Holy One of God!”

But you denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked to have a murderer given to you.

He that is true

“Write to the angel of the church in Laodicea:

“The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator

of God’s creation says:

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

To Him who loves us and has set us free from our sins by His blood,

They cried out with a loud voice: “Lord, the One who is holy and true, how long until You judge and avenge our blood from those who live on the earth?”

They sang the song of God’s servant Moses and the song of the Lamb:

Great and awe-inspiring are Your works,
Lord God, the Almighty;
righteous and true are Your ways,
King of the Nations.

Then I heard someone from the altar say:

Yes, Lord God, the Almighty,
true and righteous are Your judgments.

because His judgments are true and righteous,
because He has judged the notorious prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her sexual immorality;
and He has avenged the blood of His slaves
that was on her hands.

Then the One seated on the throne said, “Look! I am making everything new.” He also said, “Write, because these words are faithful and true.”

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know the true One. We are in the true One—that is, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

The key

and the Living One. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.

I will place the key of the House of David on his shoulder; what he opens, no one can close; what he closes, no one can open.

He will be great
and will be called the Son of the Most High,
and the Lord God will give Him
the throne of His father David.

He that openeth

But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or even to look in it.

If He passes by and throws someone in prison
or convenes a court, who can stop Him?

Whatever He tears down cannot be rebuilt;
whoever He imprisons cannot be released.

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in heaven.”

I assure you: Whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already loosed in heaven.

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
