Revelation 1

The Message Bible MSG

1 A revealing of Jesus, the Messiah. God gave it to make plain to his servants what is about to happen. He published and delivered it by Angel to his servant John.

2 And John told everything he saw: God's Word - the witness of Jesus Christ!

3 How blessed the reader! How blessed the hearers and keepers of these oracle words, all the words written in this book! Time is just about up. His Eyes Pouring Fire-Blaze

4 I, John, am writing this to the seven churches in Asia province: All the best to you from The God Who Is, The God Who Was, and The God About to Arrive, and from the Seven Spirits assembled before his throne,

5 and from Jesus Christ - Loyal Witness, Firstborn from the dead, Ruler of all earthly kings. Glory and strength to Christ, who loves us, who blood-washed our sins from our lives,

6 Who made us a Kingdom, Priests for his Father, forever - and yes, he's on his way!

7 Riding the clouds, he'll be seen by every eye, those who mocked and killed him will see him, People from all nations and all times will tear their clothes in lament. Oh, Yes.

8 The Master declares, "I'm A to Z. I'm The God Who Is, The God Who Was, and The God About to Arrive. I'm the Sovereign-Strong."

9 I, John, with you all the way in the trial and the Kingdom and the passion of patience in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of God's Word, the witness of Jesus.

10 It was Sunday and I was in the Spirit, praying. I heard a loud voice behind me, trumpet-clear and piercing:

11 "Write what you see into a book. Send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea."

12 I turned and saw the voice. I saw a gold menorah with seven branches,

13 And in the center, the Son of Man, in a robe and gold breastplate,

14 hair a blizzard of white, Eyes pouring fire-blaze,

15 both feet furnace-fired bronze, His voice a cataract,

16 right hand holding the Seven Stars, His mouth a sharp-biting sword, his face a perigee sun.

17 I saw this and fainted dead at his feet. His right hand pulled me upright, his voice reassured me:

18 I'm Alive. I died, but I came to life, and my life is now forever. See these keys in my hand? They open and lock Death's doors, they open and lock Hell's gates.

19 Now write down everything you see: things that are, things about to be.

20 The Seven Stars you saw in my right hand and the seven-branched gold menorah - do you want to know what's behind them? The Seven Stars are the Angels of the seven churches; the menorah's seven branches are the seven churches."

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 apocalypsis Iesu Christi quam dedit illi Deus palam facere servis suis quae oportet fieri cito et significavit mittens per angelum suum servo suo Iohanni

2 qui testimonium perhibuit verbo Dei et testimonium Iesu Christi quaecumque vidit

3 beatus qui legit et qui audiunt verba prophetiae et servant ea quae in ea scripta sunt tempus enim prope est

4 Iohannes septem ecclesiis quae sunt in Asia gratia vobis et pax ab eo qui est et qui erat et qui venturus est et a septem spiritibus qui in conspectu throni eius sunt

5 et ab Iesu Christo qui est testis fidelis primogenitus mortuorum et princeps regum terrae qui dilexit nos et lavit nos a peccatis nostris in sanguine suo

6 et fecit nostrum regnum sacerdotes Deo et Patri suo ipsi gloria et imperium in saecula saeculorum amen

7 ecce venit cum nubibus et videbit eum omnis oculus et qui eum pupugerunt et plangent se super eum omnes tribus terrae etiam amen

8 ego sum Alpha et Omega principium et finis dicit Dominus Deus qui est et qui erat et qui venturus est Omnipotens

9 ego Iohannes frater vester et particeps in tribulatione et regno et patientia in Iesu fui in insula quae appellatur Patmos propter verbum Dei et testimonium Iesu

10 fui in spiritu in dominica die et audivi post me vocem magnam tamquam tubae

11 dicentis quod vides scribe in libro et mitte septem ecclesiis Ephesum et Zmyrnam et Pergamum et Thyatiram et Sardis et Philadelphiam et Laodiciam

12 et conversus sum ut viderem vocem quae loquebatur mecum et conversus vidi septem candelabra aurea

13 et in medio septem candelabrorum similem Filio hominis vestitum podere et praecinctum ad mamillas zonam auream

14 caput autem eius et capilli erant candidi tamquam lana alba tamquam nix et oculi eius velut flamma ignis

15 et pedes eius similes orichalco sicut in camino ardenti et vox illius tamquam vox aquarum multarum

16 et habebat in dextera sua stellas septem et de ore eius gladius utraque parte acutus exiebat et facies eius sicut sol lucet in virtute sua

17 et cum vidissem eum cecidi ad pedes eius tamquam mortuus et posuit dexteram suam super me dicens noli timere ego sum primus et novissimus

18 et vivus et fui mortuus et ecce sum vivens in saecula saeculorum et habeo claves mortis et inferni

19 scribe ergo quae vidisti et quae sunt et quae oportet fieri post haec

20 sacramentum septem stellarum quas vidisti in dextera mea et septem candelabra aurea septem stellae angeli sunt septem ecclesiarum et candelabra septem septem ecclesiae sunt
