Revelation Illustrated Ch 1:1-6
-- Introduction
1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave
unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and
of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that
hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written
therein: for the time is at hand. 4 John to the seven churches which are
in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was,
and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten
of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved
us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings
and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever
and ever. Amen. |
