8 “I am the Alef and the Tav,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
9 I Yochanan, your brother and partner with you in the 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.
I, John, who am also your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a shofar
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard a great voice behind me, as of a trumpet,
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.”
saying, What you see, write in a book, and send it to the seven congregations; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
12 I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
And I turned to see the voice which spoke to me, and being turned, I saw seven golden lamps;
13 And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
and, in the midst of the seven lamps, one like a Son of Man, clothed in a long robe, and girded about the breasts with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
His head, even his hairs, were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
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.
and his feet like fine brass, when glowing in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters;
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.
and he had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth there went a sharp two-edged sword; and his countenance was as the sun, when he shines in his strength.
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,
And when I saw him, I fell down at his feet, as dead; and he laid his right hand upon me, and said, Fear not; I am the First and the Last;
18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Sheol. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
I am he who lives and was dead; and behold, I am living for ever and ever; and I have the keys of the unseen world, and of death. (aiōn g165, Hadēs g86)
19 Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
Write the things which you see, even those which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
As to the hidden meaning of the seven stars, which you see in my right hand, and of the seven lamps of gold: the seven stars are messengers of the seven congregations; and the seven lamps which you see, are seven congregations.
