Chapter one
This is the report of the events that Jesus Christ revealed which must soon take place. Grace and peace be yours from God who is, who was and who is coming back; and from the seven spirits in front of his throne:
Zechariah 4,1-10 And the angel woke me up asking, "what do you see?", i answered, "a golden lampstand holding seven lamps". And i asked him, "what does it stand for?" and he said, "these seven lamps represent the seven eyes of the Lord that see everywhere around the world".

Grace and peace be yours from Jesus christ the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the greatest of the kings of the earth.
1Corinthians 15:20-23 The truth is that christ was raised from the dead as the guarantee that those who sleep in death will also come back to life some day because of their union with him. But each in his own turn; Christ rose first then when he comes back, those who belong to him.

Christ loved us and has washed us from our sins in his blood and has made us kings and priests to serve his father. Give to him everlasting glory.
1Peter2:9 You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, that you may declare the praise of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
1Peter2:5 As living stone, let yourselves be used in building the spiritual temple where you will serve as high priests to offer sacrifice to God through Jesus Christ.

Behold, everyone shall see him coming on the clouds, even those who pierced him and they will mourn over him.
Philippians3:18-21 Many lives as enemies of the cross of Christ. They are going to end up in hell. Their god is their bodily desires. Their proud of what they should be ashamed of and they mind eathly things. but your homeland and conversation should be in heaven, and should look forward to the return of Jesus from there. For when Jesus comes back, he will change our weak mortal bodies and make them like his own glorious one.
Daniel7:13-14 During the vision in the night, i saw the Son of man brought there on clouds to the ancient of days. He was given a never ending ruling power and glory over the nations so that all people must obey him.
Zechariah12:10-11 God will pour out on the house of David a spirit of compassion and supplication, so that they will look at Jesus they stabbed to death and mourn bitterly as those who have lost their firstborn son. The sorrow and weeping in Jerusalem on that day will be even greater than the grievous mourning of hadadrimmon over king Josiah who was killed in the valley of Megiddo.

John our fellow brother of the kingdom, in tribulation and patience, was banished on the island of Patmos for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Philippians1:7 Whether i am in chains or defending and confirming the Gospel, you are all partakers of my grace.

And on the Lord's day, the Spirit took control of John and he heard a loud voice like that of a trumpet blast behind him saying, "i am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. Write down what you see and send it to the seven churches"
Acts10:9-11 Peter went up to pray, and he became hungry and would have eaten. But while they made ready, he fell into a trance and saw heaven opened and something coming down that looked like a large sheet being lowered by its four corners to the earth.
2Corinthians12:2 I know a man who was caught up to the third heaven, the highest, snatched up into paradise; whether in the body or out of the body, i don't know. And he heard unspeakable words, inexpressible things.

When i turned to see who was speaking, i saw seven golden candlesticks.
Exodus25:31-39 Make a lampstand with 35 kilogrammes of hammered gold. It will have six branches, three from each side of the center shaft. Each branch decorated with almond flower. The shaft is to have four cups shaped like almonds with buds and blossoms. There is to be one bud below each of the three pairs of branches. The buds and the branches are to be a single piece of pure gold. Make the lamps of the lampstand to include a seventh one at the top of the shaft. And set them them so that they reflect their light forward. The snuffers and trays are to be made of pure gold.

And in the mids of the seven golden candlesticks, was standing the son of man dressed in a long robe down to the foot with a golden sash around his chest.

His hair was white as wool, his eyes blazed like fire, his feet glowed like burnished bronze and his voice sounded like rushing waters.
Daniel10:5-6 I looked up and saw someone who was wearing linen clothes. His body shone like a jewel, his face was as bright as a flash of lightning and his arms and legs gleamed like polished brass.

He held seven stars in his right hand. From his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword and his face shone like the sun at midday.
Ephesians6:17 And the word of God as the sword which the Spirit give you.
Hebrews4:12 The word of God is alive and powerful, sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to dividing soul and spirit, discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

When i saw him, i fell at his feet as dead, then he laid his right hand on me saying, "don't be afraid, i am the first and the last, the living one. I was dead and behold, i am alive forevermore. Now i hold the keys of the realm of the dead. Write therefore what you have just seen and what will be shown to you. The secret meaning of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden candlesticks is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Zechariah4:2 "What do you see?" the angel asked, "a lampstand of gold. At the top is a bowl for the olive oil and seven lamps, each one with places for seven wicks".

Romans6:9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no longer dominion over him.

Chapter two
To the angel of the church in Ephesus write, "this is the message of the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who walks among the seven gold lampstands: i know your activities, your laborious toil and your perseverance, and how you cannot bear evil men but have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not. i know you are enduring patiently and are bearing up for my name's sake and you have not grown weary. Nevertheless i hold this against you, that you don't love me as at first. Turn back to me again doing the first works, or else i will remove your candlestick from its place, except you repent. Yet you have this to your credit that you hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, what they are doing as corrupters of the people, which thing i also detest.
To him who overcomes, i will grant to eat of the fruit of the tree of life in the midst of the paradise.
1john4:1-3   My dear friends, do not believe all who claim to have the Spirit but test them to find out if the spirit they have comes from God. because they are many false prophets around. By this you know the Holy Spirit: every spirit who confess that Jesus has come in the flesh is of God. If not the message is not from God but from the antichrist.
2peter2:1-22  False prophets appeared in the past among the people and in the same way false teachers will appear among you, who will bring in stealthily heretical doctrines and will deny the master who redeemed them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. and many will follow their immoral ways and lascivious doings. Because of them the true way will be maligned and scoffed at. In their greed false teachers will make a profit out of telling you made-up stories. But God condemned them long ago and their destruction is on the way. For God did not spare the angels that sinned but cast them into hell, delivering them to be kept there in pits of gloom till the judgement. And he spared not the ancient world but preserved Noah a preacher of righteousness with his family of seven, when he brought the flood upon the world of the ungodly. He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, destroying them with fire and made them an example of what will happen to the godless. And he rescued righteous Lot from the licentiousness of the wicked. And so the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials and how to keep the wicked under punishment, those who follow their filthy bodily lusts and despise God's authority. Presumptious and self-willed they are not afraid to speak evil of the glorious beings above, whereas angels which are greater in power  bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. These men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born to be slaughtered and shall utterly perish in their own corruption. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done, suffering wrong for their wrongdoing, they shall receive the reward of unrighteousness. They count it pleasure to revel in the daytime. Spots and blemishes they are, sporting themselves with their own deceivings. With eyes full of adultery, they never stop sinning, beguiling unstable souls. Their hearts are trained in coveteousness, they are under God's curse. They have gone off the road and become lost like Balaam the son of Beor, who fell in love with the money he could make by doing wrong, but he was stopped from his mad course when his donkey spoke to him with a human voice, scolding and rebuking him. These are waterless springs, mists driven by a storm, they are doomed to the nether gloom of darkness. For uttering proud and stupid statements, they entice with licentious passions of the flesh men who have barely escaped from those who live in error. They promise them freedom while them themselves are slaves of destructive habits. For a person is a slave of anything that has conquered him. For if people have escaped the corruption through their knowledge of our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ and then are entangled and conquered by them again, their last state is worse than the first. It would be better if they had never known the way of righteousness than to know it and then turn away from the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true, "a dog returns to its vomit" and "a pig is washed to wallow again in the mud"

To the angel of the church in Smyrna, write, "these things says the first and the last, who was dead and is alive: i know your affliction and poverty yet you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews but are not for they support the cause of satan. Don't be afraid of anything you are about to suffer. The devil will put you to the test by having some of you thrown into prison, your troubles will last ten days, be faithful to death and i will give you life as your prize of victory. Hear what the Spirit says to the churches, the winner will not be hurt at all by the second death.
Romans2:17-29  You are called a jew and you rely upon the law, and pride yourselves in God. You know his will and approve the more excellent things, being instructed by the Law. You are sure to be a guide to the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, and a teacher for the ignorant. Because you have in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and truth. Well then you who teach others, why don't you teach yourself? you boast about knowing God's law, but do you bring shame on God by breaking his law? The Scriptures says, "because of you jews, the gentiles speak evil of God" Circumcision indeed is of value if you obey the law, but if you break the law your circumcision becomes uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcised keeps the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision? Then those who are physically uncircumcised but keep the law will condemn you who have the written code and circumcision but break the law. For you are not real jews just because you were born of jewish parents or because you have gone through the jewish initiation ceremony of circumcision. Rather the real jew is a person who is a jew on the inside, that is whose heart has been circumcised, in the spirit, not of the written law. Such a person receives praise from god, not from men.
Matthew10:16-25  I am sending you out just like sheep to a pack of wolves. You must be as cautious as snakes and as gentle as doves. But beware for you will be arrested, tried and whipped. And you must stand trial before governors and kings for my sake, this will give you the opportunity to tell them about me, to witness to the world. When they bring you to trial, do not worry about what you are going to say or how you will say it, for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak; for the Spirit of your father will speak through you. And brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child, and children will take a stand against their parents and will have them put to death. And you will be hated by all for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I assure you that you will not finish your work in all the towns of Israel before the son of man comes. A student is not geater than his teacher nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the student to be like his teacher and the servant is satisfied to become like his master. If the head of the family is called Beelzebul, the members of his household will be called even worse names.
James1:12-18  Blessed is the man who endures temptation, who does not give in and do wrong when he is tempted. for afterwards when he has stood up the test, he will receive as his reward the life god has promised to those who love him.

to the church of pergamos says the lord, "i know that you have been sinning eating food sacrificed to idols and enjoying sexul vice, through corruption." stop the game or fight with the sword of my mouth." again, "if you obey my commands, i will give you hidden manna to eat and a white stone on which is written your name
