The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show to his servants what things must be with speed; and he signified having sent by his angel to his servant John:

After these things I saw, and, behold, a door opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard as of a trumpet speaking with me; saying, Come up here, and I will show thee what things must be after these.

And he says to me, Thou must again prophesy to peoples, and nations, and tongues, and many kings.

And he said to me, These words faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show to his servants what must be with speed.

And he says to me, Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is near.
