1Written down in this sacred scroll are the things the Great Spirit revealed to Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. This great revealing was given to the ones who serve him, to show them what will soon happen. He sent his spirit-messenger to He Shows Goodwill (John) , his sacred servant, to make this message known to him through signs, omens, and sacred visions .
2He Shows Goodwill (John) as a truth teller wrote down everything he saw and heard as a witness to this message from the Great Spirit and the things told to him by Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One.
3Creator’s blessing rests on the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and on those who hear and take to heart what is written in it, for the time it speaks about is almost here.
4From He Shows Goodwill (John) to the seven sacred families in Land of the Rising Sun (Asia) :
I greet you with great kindness and peace from One Who Is and Was and Is to Come, and from the seven spirits who stand face to face with him as he sits in his seat of honor.
5I also greet you from Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. He is the honorable witness, the first to rise from among the dead, and the Grand Chief over all who rule on earth. All honor belongs to the one who loves us, the one who, by giving up his own lifeblood, set us free from our bad hearts and broken ways.
6He has made us to be chiefs of a sacred nation of holy men and women who represent the good road of his Father the Great Spirit. All honor and power belong to him from the ages past to the time beyond the end of all days. Aho! May it be so!
7Behold! He comes riding on the clouds! Every eye will see him, even the ones who pierced him. When all the tribes of the land see him, their hearts will be pierced through with sorrow and fall to the ground. Aho! May it be so.[#1:7 Zechariah 12:10]
8“I am Alpha and Omega, the one who is before all things and beyond all things,” says the Great Spirit Chief. “I am One Who Is and Was and Is to Come, the All-Powerful One.”[#1:8 Alpha and omega are the first and last letter of the Greek alphabet, the language of the New Testament.]
9I, He Shows Goodwill (John) , am your brother in the sacred family and one who walks a path of suffering with you as we walk the good road with firm steps following Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. I had been banished to the island called Walking Place (Patmos) because I had spoken the truth about Creator Sets Free (Jesus) and his message from the Great Spirit.
10I was taken up into the spirit world on the day we gather in honor of our Great Chief. I heard a loud voice from behind me that sounded like an eagle bone whistle.[#1:10 Lit. trumpet , or in Hebrew shofar , meaning “ram’s horn”]
11The voice said, “Write down in a scroll the things that you see. Send this scroll to the seven sacred family gatherings in Land of the Rising Sun (Asia) .
“Send it to the sacred family gatherings in Village of Desire (Ephesus) , Village of Bitter Herbs (Smyrna) , First in Courage (Pergamum) , High Rock House (Thyatira) , Safe Place (Sardis) , Family of Friends (Philadelphia) , and The People Will Decide (Laodicea) .”
12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. When I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands.
13The lampstands encircled one who looked like a True Human Being. His regalia was a robe that reached all the way to his feet. He wore a golden sash that was wrapped across his chest.[#1:13 Daniel 7:13]
14The hair on his head was as white as the tip of an eagle’s tail feathers, as white as freshly fallen snow, and his eyes blazed like flames of fire.[#1:14 Lit. white like wool]
15His feet glowed like molten bronze purified in a furnace of fire, and his voice roared like the sound of great rushing waters.
16In his right hand he was holding seven stars. Out from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged long knife, and his face shone with the full strength of the sun.
17When I saw him, I dropped to the ground and lay at his feet as a dead man.
He put his right hand on me and said, “Do not fear!
18I am first and last, the Living One, who was dead, and now, behold! I am alive, never to die again. And in my hands I hold the power to free people from the Dark Underworld of Death (Hades) .[#1:18 Lit. keys]
19“So then,” he said to me, “Write down the things you have just seen and the things that will be shown to you.
20I will tell you the mystery of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and the mystery of the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the messengers of the seven sacred family gatherings, and the seven lampstands are the seven sacred families.
