A Vision of Christ
9#Php 4:14; Rev 1:2I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the isle that is called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10#Ac 20:7; Rev 4:1–2I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a great voice like a trumpet, 11#Rev 1:4; 3:1saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and “What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
12#Ex 25:37; Zec 4:2I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks, 13#Da 7:13; 10:16and in the midst of the seven candlesticks was one like a Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and with a golden sash wrapped around the chest. 14#Da 7:9; 10:6; Rev 19:12The hair on His head was white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15#Eze 43:2; Da 10:6His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters. 16#Isa 49:2; Heb 4:12He had in His right hand seven stars, and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword. His appearance was like the sun shining brightly.
17#Isa 44:6; Rev 22:13; Isa 41:4When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though I were dead. Then He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18#Ro 6:9; Heb 7:25I am He who lives, though I was dead. Look! I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
19“Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. 20#Rev 2:1; Zec 4:2The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven churches.

The Revelation 1
1
Yeshua’s Revelation to John
1The revelation of Yeshua the Messiah, which God gave Him to show to His servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,
2who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Yeshua the Messiah—to everything he saw.
3How fortunate is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and those who hear and keep what has been written in it—for the time is near.
4John, To Messiah’s seven communities in Asia: Grace to you and shalom from Him who is and who was and who is to come, as well as from the seven spirits who are before His throne,
5and from Messiah Yeshua, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood
6and made us a kingdom, kohanim to His God and Father—to Him be glory and power forever! Amen!
7“Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him, even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of Him. Yes, amen!”
8“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says Adonai Elohim, “Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty!”
9I, John, your brother and fellow partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and patient endurance that are in Yeshua, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Yeshua.
10I was in the Ruach on the Day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud voice like that of a trumpet,
11saying, “Write what you see in a scroll, and send it to Messiah’s seven communities—to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
Vision of the Glorious Son of Man
12Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden menorot.
13In the midst of the menorot, I saw One like a Son of Man, clothed in a robe down to His feet, with a golden belt wrapped around His chest.
14His head and His hair were white like wool, white like snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire.
15His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of rushing waters.
16In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came forth a sharp, two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at full strength.
17When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last,
18and the One who lives. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever! Moreover, I hold the keys of death and Sheol.
19Therefore write down what you have seen, what is, and what will happen after these things.
20As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden menorot—the seven stars are the angels of Messiah’s seven communities, and the seven menorahs are the seven communities.”
