Revelation 1:4-14

4 From: Yochanan To: The seven Messianic communities in the province of Asia: Grace and shalom to you from the One who is, who was and who is coming; from the sevenfold Spirit before his throne;
5 and from Yeshua the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the earth's kings. To him, the one who loves us, who has freed us from our sins at the cost of his blood,
6 who has caused us to be a kingdom, that is, cohanim for God, his Father - to him be the glory and the rulership forever and ever. Amen.
7 Look! He is coming with the clouds! Every eye will see him, including those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the Land will mourn him. Yes! Amen!

9 I, Yochanan, am a brother of yours and a fellow-sharer in the suffering, kingship and perseverance that come from being united with Yeshua. I had been exiled to the island called Patmos for having proclaimed the message of God and borne witness to Yeshua.
10 I came to be, in the Spirit, on the Day of the Lord; and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet,
11 saying, "Write down what you see on a scroll, and send it to the seven Messianic communities - Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea!"
12 I turned around to see who was speaking to me; and when I had turned, I saw seven gold menorahs;
13 and among the menorahs was someone like a Son of Man, wearing a robe down to his feet and a gold band around his chest.
14 His head and hair were as white as snow-white wool, his eyes like a fiery flame,
