And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me
Revelation 1: 9-20
I, John, your brother and partner in suffering, and in the living through of the kingship, and in patient anticipation of Jesus Christ, I was on the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus.
Write the things you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right, and the seven candlesticks, the golden: the seven stars are the angels of the seven communities and the candlesticks, the seven, are the seven communities.
There, I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day; and I heard behind me a mighty voice, as of a trumpet, saying: I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last; and what you see, write that in a book, and sent it to the seven communities which are in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamon, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
