00:03.470 --> 00:07.170
The Revelation of St. John the Divine,
Chapter 1.

00:08.370 --> 00:12.930
The revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him to show unto his

00:12.930 --> 00:15.530
servants things which must shortly come to
pass.

00:16.530 --> 00:21.210
And he sent and signified it by his angel
unto his servant John, who bare record of

00:21.210 --> 00:25.670
the word of God and of the testimony of
Jesus Christ, and of all things that he

00:25.670 --> 00:25.990
saw.

00:27.230 --> 00:30.570
Blessed is he that readeth and they that
hear the words of this prophecy,

00:31.250 --> 00:33.630
and to keep those things which are written
therein.

00:34.410 --> 00:36.210
For the time is at hand.

00:37.570 --> 00:40.390
John, to the seven churches which are in
Asia.

00:41.290 --> 00:45.590
Grace be unto you and peace from him which
is and which was and which is to come,

00:46.050 --> 00:49.910
and from the seven spirits which are
before his throne, and from Jesus Christ,

00:50.050 --> 00:54.230
who was the faithful witness and the first
begotten of the dead, and the prince of

00:54.230 --> 00:55.290
the kings of the earth.

00:56.070 --> 01:00.830
Unto him that loved us and washed us from
our sins in his own blood, and hath made

01:00.830 --> 01:03.230
us kings and priests unto God and his
Father.

01:04.030 --> 01:06.790
To him be glory and dominion for ever and
ever.

01:07.650 --> 01:08.090
Amen.

01:09.430 --> 01:12.890
Behold, he cometh with clouds,
and every eye shall see him.

01:13.330 --> 01:16.470
And they also which pierced him,
and all kindreds of the earth,

01:16.830 --> 01:18.310
shall wail because of him.

01:19.250 --> 01:21.050
Even so, amen.

01:22.430 --> 01:29.790
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the ending, saith the Lord, which is and

01:29.790 --> 01:32.930
which was and which is to come,
the Almighty.

01:33.570 --> 01:38.010
I, John, who also am your brother and
companion in tribulation, and in the

01:38.010 --> 01:42.250
kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ,
was in the isle that is called Patmos for

01:42.250 --> 01:45.310
the word of God and for the testimony of
Jesus Christ.

01:46.230 --> 01:50.630
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,
and heard behind me a great voice as of a

01:50.630 --> 01:55.350
trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega,
the first and the last.

01:55.830 --> 02:00.750
And what thou seest, write in a book and
send it unto the seven churches,

02:00.750 --> 02:05.750
which are in Asia, unto Ephesus,
and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos,

02:06.330 --> 02:12.530
and unto Theatairon, and unto Sardis,
and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

02:12.850 --> 02:15.470
And I turned to see the voice that spake
with me.

02:16.570 --> 02:20.810
And being turned, I saw seven golden
candlesticks, and in the midst of the

02:20.810 --> 02:25.550
seven candlesticks one, like unto the Son
of Man, clothed with the garment down to

02:25.550 --> 02:28.330
the foot, and girt about the paps with a
golden girdle.

02:28.970 --> 02:34.130
His head and his hairs were white like
wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were

02:34.130 --> 02:38.910
as a flame of fire, and his feet like unto
fine brass, as if they burned in a

02:38.910 --> 02:42.350
furnace, and his voice as the sound of
many waters.

02:43.610 --> 02:47.570
And he had in his right hand seven stars,
and out of his mouth went a sharp

02:47.570 --> 02:52.830
two-edged sword, and his countenance was
as the sun shineth in his strength.

02:53.470 --> 02:57.770
And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as
dead.

02:58.630 --> 03:03.990
And he laid his right hand upon me,
saying unto me, Fear not, I am the first

03:03.990 --> 03:04.810
and the last.

03:05.330 --> 03:07.470
I am he that liveth and was dead.

03:08.050 --> 03:10.450
And behold, I am alive forevermore.

03:10.890 --> 03:11.290
Amen.

03:11.930 --> 03:14.230
And have the keys of hell and of death.

03:16.150 --> 03:20.410
Write the things which thou hast seen,
and the things which are, and the things

03:20.410 --> 03:21.390
which shall be hereafter.

03:22.170 --> 03:26.650
The mystery of the seven stars which thou
sawest in my right hand, and the seven

03:26.650 --> 03:27.750
golden candlesticks.

03:28.410 --> 03:33.670
The seven stars are the angels of the
seven churches, and the seven candlesticks

03:33.670 --> 03:35.910
which thou sawest are the seven churches.
