“And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write:The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this:

Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous, seven angels who had seven plagues, which are the last, because in them the wrath of God is finished.

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
