WORDS FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION:

This is a revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants the events that must soon* take place. He sent an angel to present this revelation to his servant John.

This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia.Grace and peace to you from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come; from the sevenfold Spirit* before his throne;

After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting, “Praise the Lord! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.

I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.

BLESS THE NAME OF JESUS!

Currently reading to understand Revelation, which has always been quite confusing to me. Ideas, facts, and explanations are presented clearly and matter-of-factly. Highly recommended.
