The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 1
{1:1} This is the Revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which God gave
him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which
he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, Yochanan, {1:2}
who testified to God's word, and of the testimony of Yeshua the
Messiah, about everything that he saw.
{1:3} Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the
prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is
at hand.
{1:4} Yochanan, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to
you and shalom, from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and
from the seven Spirits who are before his throne; {1:5} and from
Yeshua the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead,
and the ruler of the kings of the [1>]eretz[<1]. To him who loves us,
and washed us from our sins by his blood; {1:6} and he made us to be a
kingdom, [2>]Kohanim[<2] to his God and Father; to him be the glory
and the dominion forever and ever. Amein.
{1:7} Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see
him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the
[3>]eretz[<3] will mourn over him. Even so, Amein.
{1:8} "I am the Alef and the Tav," says the Lord God, "who is and
who was and who is to come, [4>]Shaddai[<4]."
{1:9} I Yochanan, your brother and partner with you in oppression,
kingdom, and perseverance in Messiah Yeshua, was on the isle that is
called Patmos because of God's Word and the testimony of Yeshua the
Messiah. {1:10} I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard
behind me a loud voice, as of a [5>]shofar[<5] {1:11} saying, "What
you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus,
Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
{1:12} I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned,
I saw seven golden menorot. {1:13} And in the midst of the menorot was
one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet,
and with a golden sash around his chest. {1:14} His head and his hair
were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of
fire. {1:15} His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been
refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
{1:16} He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth
proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining
at its brightest. {1:17} When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a
dead man.
He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the
first and the last, {1:18} and the Living one. I was dead, and behold,
I am alive forevermore. Amein. I have the keys of Death and of She'ol.
{1:19} Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things
which are, and the things which will happen hereafter; {1:20} the
mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the
seven golden menorot. The seven stars are the angels of the seven
assemblies. The seven menorot are seven assemblies.
