Revelation 22:6-16 - The Time Of Fulfillment Is Near

6 "These words are trustworthy and true," he said to me; "For the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his slaves what must happen very soon.

7 See! I am coming very soon! Blessed is he who heeds the words of prophecy that are in this book."

8 It was I, John, who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, to worship him. 9 But he said to me, "You must not do that. I am only a fellow-slave of yours and of your brothers the prophets and the men who heed the words of this book. Worship God! 10 "Do not seal up the words of prophecy that are in this book," he said to me, "for the time of their fulfilment is very near. 11 Let the evil-doer do worse and worse, let the base grow baser and baser, let the upright man be more and more upright, and the man who is holy be more and more holy."

12 "See! I am coming very soon, bringing with me my rewards, to repay everyone for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so as to have the right to approach the tree of life and to enter the gates of the city. 15 The dogs, those who practice magic or immorality, murderers, idolaters, and anyone who loves falsehood or tells lies will be shut out of it.

16 "I, Jesus, sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am of the line and family of David, I am the bright morning star."
