The revelation of things that are to take place in no distant date which God [the Self-existent] gave to Jesus the Anointed [the Self-existent - the Son of man] to show to His bond-servants [disciples]; He sent His Emissary [the Self-existent - the Holy Spirit] to make it known with signs to His bond-servant [disciple], John, who had accurate record of the words spoken by God [the Self-existent], all that Jesus the Anointed spoke about God [the Self-existent], and all things that he watched. Anyone who reads or hears and keeps an eye on the detailed account of these scriptural predictions shall be blessed. Certainly, the time for its fulfilment is close.

From John: To the seven churches in Asia. Grace and peace be multiplied to you from the One who is existing , was existing , and is to exist eternally [the Self-existent]; from the seven spirits before His throne [standing for the Holy Spirit];

and from Jesus the Anointed [the Self-existent - the Son of man], the One whose words can be trusted, the first to resurrect from among the dead and the Ruler of the kings of the earth, who loves us and has washed us from our sins by His blood;

and has made us kings and priests to God, His Father [the Self-existent], to whom belong honor and dominion forever and ever. (So be it.)

Be on the look out! He [the Self-existent - the Son of man] is coming with the Cloud - the Self-existent, the Holy Spirit - and will be seen by everyone, including those who pierced Him; all families of the land of Israel will regret what they did to Him. It shall happen unfailingly! (So be it.)

Iam the Indispensable and the Ultimate, the Beginning and the Ending, saysthe Self-existent, the One who is existing , was existing , and is to exist eternally , the Almighty.

I, John, your brother and partner in persecution for the kingdom and the endurance that we are called to by Jesus the Anointed [the Self-existent - the Son of man], was in the island called “Patmos” because I preached the word of God [the Self-existent] and testified about Jesus the Anointed [the Self-existent - the Son of man].

The Holy Spirit took control of me on the Master’s resurrection day and I heard a loud voice, like a trumpet, behind me,

saying, I [the Self-existent - the Holy Spirit] am the Indispensable and the Ultimate, the First and the Last. Write what you see in a book and send it to seven churches in Asia: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.

I turned to see who was speaking to me and I saw seven gold lampstands.

In the midst of the lampstands was one like the Son of man [the Self-existent - the Son of man] dressed in a long robe and with a gold sash wrapped around His chest.

His head and hair were white like wool — white as snow — His eyes like a fiery flame,

His feet were like fine bronze refined in a furnace and His voice like the sound of cascading waters. 

He had seven stars in His right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth; and His face was shining like the sun at midday.

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. He laid His right hand on me and said, Don’t panic! I [the Self-existent - the Son of man] am the First and the Last, 

and the Living One. I was dead, but I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of Death and Hell. 

Write what you have seen take place, what is taking place and what will take place after this. 

The secret of the seven stars that you see in My right hand and of the seven gold lampstands is this: The seven stars are the pastors of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
