Division One Patmos (Things which were seen…) Glorified Son of Man 2 Patmos (Things which were seen…) I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying: “I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, and what you see, write in a scroll and send it unto the seven communities which are in Asia (Turkey): unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.” Glorified Son of Man Instruction 3 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me: “Fear not, I am the First and the Last. I am He that lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore. Amen. And I have the keys of hell and of death. The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks: the seven stars are the angels of the seven communities; and the seven candlesticks which you saw are the seven communities. Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter.” Letters to the Communities (Things which were…) “UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE COMMUNITY OF EPHESUS WRITE: These things says He that holds the seven stars in His right hand, Who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks… I know your works, and your labour, and your patience, and how you cannot bear them which are evil: and you have tried those who say they are apostles, and are not, and have found them liars. And have borne, and have patience, and for My name's sake have laboured, and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, because you have left your first love. Remember therefore from whence you have fallen, and repent, and do the first works. Otherwise I will come to you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of its place, except you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. To him that overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the communities.”

“UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE COMMUNITY OF SMYRNA WRITE: These things says the First and the Last, Who was dead, and is alive… I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, but you are rich and I know the blasphemy of those which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of the things which you shall suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you crown of life. He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the communities.” ___________________________________________________________________ 4 “UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE COMMUNITY IN PERGAMUM WRITE: These things says He which has the sharp sword with two edges… I know your works and where you dwell, where Satan's seat is: and you hold fast to My name, and have not denied My faith; even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So have you also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no man knows saving he that receives it. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the communities.” “UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE COMMUNITY IN THYATIRA WRITE: These things says the Son of God, Who has eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass… I know your works, and charity, and service, and faith, and your patience, and your works; and the last to be more than the first. Notwithstanding I have a few things against you, because you permit that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the communities shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you no other burden. But that which you already have hold fast till I come. And he that overcomes, and keeps My works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to pieces. As I received of My Father, I will give unto him the morning star. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the communities.” 5 ___________________________________________________________________

“UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE COMMUNITY IN SARDIS WRITE: These things says He that has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars… I know your works, that you have a name that you live, and are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcomes, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name from the scroll of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the communities." 6 ___________________________________________________________________ “UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE COMMUNITY IN PHILADELPHIA WRITE: These things says He that is holy, He that is true, He that has the key of David, He that opens, and no man shuts; and shuts, and no man opens… I know your works: behold, I have set before you an open door, and no man can shut it; for you have a little strength, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept the word of my patience, I also will keep you from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold onto what you have, that no man take your crown. Him that overcomes will I make a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God; which is the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the communities.” “UNTO THE ANGEL OF THE COMMUNITY IN LAODICEA WRITE: These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God… I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth. Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know not that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold tried in the fire, that you may be rich; and white raiment, that you may be clothed, and that the shame of your nakedness be not revealed; and anoint your eyes with eyesalve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, even as I overcame, and am sat down with My Father on His throne. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the communities.” 7 ___________________________________________________________________
