Record of the Word of God

Revelation 1: 1-3

The Revelation of Jesus, the Messiah, which God gave to him, to show merciful his servants things, which must shortly come to pass,

For the time is near.

And which he signified in imagery symbols by his angel, who he sent to his servant John,

Blessed is who reads them and they that hear them, the words of this prophecy, and keeps which is written therein,

Who bare record of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus, the Messiah, as much as he was perceiving of it.
