John, to the seven congregations in Asia. Grace be with you and peace, from him which is and which was, and which is to come: and from the seven spirits which are present before his throne,

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending," saith the Lord almighty, which is and which was and which is to come.

John, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience which is in Jesus Christ, was in the isle of Patmos for the word of God, and for the witnessing of Jesus Christ.

I was in the spirit on a Sunday, and heard behind me a great voice, as it had been of a trumpet,

And I turned back to see the voice that spake to me. And when I was turned: I saw seven golden candlesticks.

and am alive, and was dead. And behold I am alive for evermore, and have the keys of hell and of death.

And didst wash thyself, and hast patience: and for my name's sake hast laboured and hast not fainted.

"And unto the angel of the congregation of Smyrna write, 'These things saith he that is first, and the last, which was dead and is alive:

I know thy works and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is, and thou keepest my name and hast not denied my faith. And in my days Antipas was a faithful witness of mine, which was slain among you where Satan dwelleth.

After this I looked, and behold a door was open in heaven, and the first voice which I heard, was as it were of a trumpet talking with me, which said, "Come up hither, and I will show thee things which must be fulfilled hereafter.

And immediately I was in the spirit; and behold, a seat was put in heaven, and one sat on the seat.

And he that sat was, to look upon, like unto a jasper stone, and a sardine stone: And there was a rainbow about the seat, in sight like unto an emerald.

And before the seat there was a sea of glass, like unto crystal, and in the midst of the seat, and round about the seat, were four beats full of eyes before and behind.

And the first beast was like a lion, the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

And the four beasts had, each one of them, six wings about him, and they were full of eyes within. And they had no rest day neither night saying, "Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty, which was, and is, and is to come."

And no man in heaven nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open, and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

and they sung a new song saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast killed, and hast redeemed us by thy blood, out of all kindreds, and tongues, and people, and nations,

saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the lamb that was killed to receive power, and riches and wisdom, and strength, and honour and glory, and blessing."

And I saw, and behold there was a white horse, and he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him, and he went forth conquering and for to overcome.

And there went out another horse that was red, and power was given to him that sat thereon, to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another. And there was given unto him a great sword.

And I looked. And behold, a green horse; and his name that sat on him was Death, and hell followed after him, and power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, that cometh of vermin of the earth.

And long white garments were given unto every one of them. And it was said unto them that they should rest for a little season until the number of their fellows, and brethren, and of them that should be killed as they were, were fulfilled.

And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal, and lo there was a great earthquake, and the sun was as black as sackcloth made of hair. And the moon waxed even as blood:

And I saw another angel ascend from the rising of the sun, which had the seal of the living God, and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels to whom power was given to hurt the earth and the sea,

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half a hour.

And another angel came and stood before the altar having a golden censer, and much of odours was given unto him, that he should offer of the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which was before the seat.

The first angel blew, and there was made hail and fire, which were mingled with blood, and they were cast into the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt, and all green grass was burnt.

And the second angel blew: and as it were a great mountain: burning with fire was cast into the sea, and the third part of the sea turned to blood,

and the name of the star is called wormwood. And the third part was turned to wormwood. And many men died of the waters because they were made bitter.

And the fourth angel blew, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of stars: so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day was smitten that the third part of it should not shine, and likewise the night.

And the fifth angel blew, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth. And to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: And unto them was given power as the scorpions of the earth have power.

And it was said unto them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth: neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal in their foreheads,

and to them was commanded that they should not kill them, but that they should be vexed five months, and their pain was as the pain that cometh of a scorpion, when he hath stung a man.

And the similitude of the locusts was like unto horses prepared unto battle, and on their heads were as it were crowns, like unto gold: and their faces were as it had been the faces of men.

And they had habergeons, as it were habergeons of iron. And the sound of their wings, was as the sound of chariots when many horses run together to battle.

And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men five months.

And of these three, was the third part of men killed, that is to say, of fire, smoke, and brimstone, which proceeded out of the mouths of them:

For their power was in their mouths and in their tails: for their tails were like unto serpents, and had heads, and with them they did hurt.

And when the seven thunders had spoken their voices, I was about to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, "Seal up those things which the seven thunders spake, and write them not."

And I took the little book out of his hand, and ate it up, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey, and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

And then was given me a reed, like unto a rod, and it was said unto me, "Rise and mete the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein;

And their bodies shall lie in the streets of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Eygpt, where our Lord was crucified.

And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain names of men seven thousand. And the remnant were afeared, and gave glory to God of heaven.

saying, "We give thee thanks Lord God, almighty: which art and wast, and art to come, for thou hast received thy great might, and hast reigned.

And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen, in his temple, the ark of his testament: and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunderings and earthquake, and much hail.

And she was with child and cried, travailing in birth, and pained ready to be delivered.

and his tail drew the third part of the stars, and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman, which was ready to be delivered: for to devour her child as soon as it were born.

And she brought forth a man child, which should rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her son was taken up unto God, and to his seat.

And there was great battle in heaven, Michael and his angels fought with the dragon and the dragon fought and his angels,

and prevailed not: neither was their place found any more in heaven.

And the great dragon, that old serpent called the devil and Satan; Was cast out. Which deceiveth all the world. And he was cast into the earth, and his angels were cast out also.

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

And the dragon was wroth with the woman: and went and made war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

And the beast which I saw, was like a cat of the mountain, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his seat, and great authority:

and I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered at the beast,

And there was a mouth given unto him that spake great things, and blasphemies, and power was given unto him, to continue forty two months.

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given him over all kindred, tongue, and nation:

and all that dwell upon the earth worshipped him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb, which was killed from the beginning of the world.

And he did all that the first beast could do in his presence, and he caused the earth, and them which dwell therein, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

and in their mouths was found no guile. For they are without spot before the throne of God.

And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped.

and the wine-vat was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the fat, even unto the horse bridles by the space of a a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

And after that I looked, and behold the temple of the tabernacle of testimony was open in heaven,

And the temple was full of the smoke of the glory of God and of his power, and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled.

And I heard an angel say, "Lord which art and wast, thou art righteous and holy, because thou hast given such judgments,

And the fourth angel poured out his vial on the sun, and power was given unto him to vex men with heat of fire.

And there followed voices, thunderings, and lightnings, and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake and so great.

And the great city was divided into the three parts; And the cities of nations fell. And great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

And there fell a great hail, as it had been talents, out of heaven upon the men; and the men blasphemed God, because of the plague of the hail, for it was great and the plague of it sore.

And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold, precious stone, and pearls, and had a cup of gold in her hand, full of abominations, and filthiness of her fornication.

And in her forehead was a name written, a mystery: "Great Babylon, the mother of whoredom and abominations of the earth."

The beast that thou seest, was, and is not, and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and shall go into perdition, and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder - whose names are not written in the book of life from he beginning of the world - when they behold the beast that was, and is not.

And the beast that was, and is not, is even the eighth, and is one of the seven, and shall go into destruction.

And after that I saw another angel come from heaven, having great power, and the earth was lightened with his brightness.

and saying, 'Alas alas, that great city, that was clothed in raynes, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls:

and in her was found the blood of the prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth."

And to her was granted, that she should be arrayed with pure and goodly raynes" - For the raynes is the righteousness of saints.

And I saw heaven open, and behold a white horse: and he that sat upon him was faithful and true, and in righteousness did judge and make battle.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood, and his name is called the word of God.

And the beast was taken, and with him that false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that received the beast's mark, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast into a pond of fire burning with brimstone:

And I saw seats, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God: which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had taken his mark upon their foreheads, or on their hands: and they lived, and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

and the devil that deceived them, was cast into a lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet were and shall be tormented day and night for ever more.

And I saw a great white seat and him that sat on it, from whose face fled away both the earth and heaven, and their place was no more found.

And I saw the dead, both great and small, stand before God: And the books were opened, and another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged of those things which were written in the books according to their deeds.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire.

And I saw a new heaven, and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth were vanished away, and there was no more sea.

having the brightness of God. And her shining was like unto a stone most precious, even a Jasper clear as Crystal:

And the city was built four square, and the length was as large as the breadth of it, and he measured the city with the reed twelve thousand furlongs: and the length, and the breadth, and the height of it, were equal.

And he measured the wall thereof a hundred and forty four cubits: the measure that the angel had was after the measure that man useth.

And the building of the wall of it was of jasper. And the city was pure gold like unto clear glass

and the foundations of the wall of the city was garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third a chalcedony, the fourth an emerald:

The twelve gates were twelve pearls, every gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as through shining glass.

And there was no temple therein. For the Lord God almighty and the lamb are the temple of it.

And the city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to lighten it. For the brightness of God did light it: and the lamb was the light of it.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river was there wood of life; which bare twelve manner of fruits, and gave fruit every month: and the leaves of the wood served to heal the people withal.
