⁹ And saying these things, while they are looking, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him up from their eyes." ¹⁰ And as they were looking intently into heaven at His going, lo! two men stand beside them in white attire, ¹¹ who say also, "Men! Galileans! Why do you stand, looking into heaven? This Jesus Who is being taken up from you into heaven shall come thus, in the manner in which you gaze at Him going into heaven."

¹⁰ and to be waiting for His Son out of the heavens, Whom He rouses from among the dead, Jesus, our Rescuer out of the coming indignation."

¹⁷ Thereupon we, the living who are surviving, shall at the same time be snatched away together with them in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And thus shall we always be together with the Lord."

⁶ and falling aside, to be renewing them again to repentance while crucifying for themselves the Son of God again and holding Him up to infamy."

²⁹ Of how much worse punishment, are you supposing, will he be counted worthy who tramples on the Son of God, and deems the blood of the covenant by which he is hallowed contaminating, and outrages the spirit of grace?

² Beloved, now are we children of God, and it was not as yet manifested what we shall be. We are aware that, if He should be manifested, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him according as He is."

¹⁴ Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesies to these also, saying, "Lo! the Lord came among ten thousand of His saints,

¹⁵ And the kings of the earth, and the magnates, and the captains, and the rich, and the strong, and every slave and freeman, hide themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains." ¹⁶ And they are saying to the mountains and to the rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him Who is sitting on the throne, and from the indignation of the Lambkin, ¹⁷ for the great day of Their indignation came, and who is able to stand?

¹⁴ And I perceived, and lo! a white cloud, and on the cloud One sitting like a son of mankind, having a golden wreath on His head, and a sharp sickle in His hand." ¹⁵ And another messenger came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him Who is sitting on the cloud, "Send in Thy sickle and reap! for the hour came to reap, for the harvest of the earth is dried." ¹⁶ And He Who is sitting on the cloud casts His sickle on the earth, and the earth is reaped."

¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who are rich through her, will be standing afar off because of the fear of her torment, lamenting and mourning, ¹⁶ saying, 'Woe! woe! the great city clothed in cambric and purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold and precious stones, and pearl, ¹⁷ for in one hour was desolated so much riches!' "And every navigator, and every one who is sailing at the place, and mariners and whoever are working on the sea, stand afar off, ¹⁸ and, observing the smoke of her conflagration, they cried, saying, 'Is there any like this great city?'" ¹⁹ And they cast soil on their heads, and cried, lamenting and mourning, saying, 'Woe! Woe! the great city, by which all who have ships on the sea are rich as a result of its preciousness, for in one hour it was desolated!'" ²⁰ Make merry over her, O heaven, and ye saints and apostles and prophets, seeing that God judges by passing your sentence upon her."

¹ After these things I hear as it were the loud voice of a vast throng in heaven, saying, "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power is of our God, ² for true and just is His judging, for He judges the great prostitute who corrupts the earth with her prostitution, and avenges the blood of His slaves at her hand." ³ And a second time have they declared, "Hallelujah!And her smoke is ascending for the eons of the eons."

⁴ And they shall be seeing His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads."

¹ And coming is Abram to be ninety nine years of age. And appearing is Yahweh to Abram and is saying to him, "I am the El-Who-Suffices. Walk before Me and become flawless.

³ And El-Who-Suffices will bless you and make you fruitful and increase you, and you shall become an assembly of peoples.

¹¹ And saying to him is the Elohim, "I am the El-Who-Suffices. Be fruitful and increase. A nation and an assembly of nations shall come from you, and kings from your loins shall fare forth.

¹⁴ And the El-Who-Suffices give you compassion before the man, so that he lets your other brother and Benjamin go! And I, as I am bereaved, am I bereaved!"

³ And saying is Jacob to Joseph, "The El-Who-Suffices appeared to me in Luz, in the land of Canaan, and blessing me is He,

²⁵ from the El of your father, and your Helper, and He Who-Suffices, and your Blesser, blessings of the heavens from above, blessings of the submerged chaos reclining beneath, blessings of the breasts and the womb,

³ and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as the El-Who-Suffices; as to My name Yahweh, I was not fully realized by them.

⁴ the averring of the one hearing the sayings of El, Who is perceiving a vision from Him Who-Suffices, falling prostrate, yet his eyes are revealed.

⁶ For a Boy is born to us; a Son is given to us, and the chieftainship shall come to be on His shoulder, and His name is called "Marvelous.Counsel to the master shall He bring, to the chief of the future, welfare."

¹⁰ You are My witnesses,averring is Yahweh Elohim, "And My servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and will believe Me, and understand that I am He:Before Me was formed no El. And after Me none shall come."

⁶ Thus says Yahweh, King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts is His name. "I am the First and I am the Last, and apart from Me there is no Elohim."

¹² Hearken to Me, Jacob, My servant, and Israel, My called. I am He! I am the First! Indeed, I am the Last!"

¹⁸ and I will be a Father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty."

⁴ John, to the seven ecclesias which are in the province of Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him Who is and Who was and Who is coming, and from the seven spirits which are before His throne,

¹⁷ And when I perceived Him, I fall at His feet as dead. And He places His right hand on me, saying, "Do not fear! I am the First and the Last,

¹⁷ saying, "We are thanking Thee, Lord God Almighty, Who art and Who wast, for Thou hast taken Thy great power and dost reign."

¹⁴ three unclean spirits, as if frogs (for they are spirits of demons, doing signs), which are going out to the kings of the whole inhabited earth, to be mobilizing them for the battle of the great day of God Almighty."

¹⁵ And out of His mouth a sharp blade is issuing, that with it He should be smiting the nations. And He will be shepherding them with an iron club. And He is treading the wine trough of the fury of the indignation of God, the Almighty."

⁶ And He said to me, "I have become the Alpha and the Omega, the Origin and the Consummation. To him who is thirsting I shall be giving of the spring of the water of life gratuitously."

²² And a temple I did not perceive in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lambkin."

¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Origin and the Consummation."

³³ These things have I spoken to you that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction. But courage! I have conquered the world."

²² establishing the souls of the disciples, besides entreating them to remain in the faith and saying that, "Through many afflictions must we be entering into the kingdom of God."

⁷ to those, indeed, who by endurance in good acts are seeking glory and honor and incorruption, life eonian;" ⁸ yet to those of faction and stubborn, indeed, as to the truth, yet persuaded to injustice, indignation and fury,

³ Yet not only so, but we may be glorying also in afflictions, having perceived that affliction is producing endurance, ⁴ yet endurance testedness, yet testedness expectation."

¹⁷ Yet if children, enjoyers also of an allotment, enjoyers, indeed, of an allotment from God, yet joint enjoyers of Christ's allotment, if so be that we are suffering together, that we should be glorified together also."

²⁵ Now, if we are expecting what we are not observing, we are awaiting it with endurance."

⁹ For I suppose that God demonstrates with us, the last apostles, as death-doomed, for we became a theater to the world and to messengers and to men." ¹⁰ We are stupid because of Christ, yet you are prudent in Christ. We are weak, yet you are strong. You are glorious, yet we are dishonored." ¹¹ Until the present hour we are hungering also and thirsting, and are naked and are buffeted and unsettled and toiling, working with our own hands." ¹² Being reviled, we are blessing; being persecuted, we are bearing with it;" ¹³ being calumniated, we are entreating. As the offscourings of the world we became, the scum of all things, hitherto."

⁷ according as it is just for me to be disposed in this way over you all, because you, having me in heart, both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the evangel, you all are joint participants with me of grace,

¹⁴ Moreover, you do ideally in your joint contribution in my affliction."

⁴ so that we ourselves glory in you in the ecclesias of God, for your endurance and faith in all your persecutions and the afflictions with which you are bearing -" ⁵ a display of the just judging of God, to deem you worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering also,

⁵ Now may the Lord be directing your hearts into the love of God and into the endurance of Christ!

⁸ You may not be ashamed, then, of the testimony of our Lord, nor yet of me, His prisoner, but suffer evil with the evangel in accord with the power of God,

³ Suffer evil with me, as an ideal soldier of Christ Jesus." ⁴ No one who is warring is involved in the business of a livelihood, that he should be pleasing the one who enlists him." ⁵ Now if anyone should be competing in the games also, he is not given a wreath if ever he should not be competing lawfully." ⁶ The toiling farmer must be the first to partake of the fruits. ⁷ Apprehend what I say, for the Lord will be giving you understanding in it all." ⁸ Remember Jesus Christ, Who has been roused from among the dead, is of the seed of David, according to my evangel, ⁹ in which I am suffering evil unto bonds as a malefactor - but the word of God is not bound. ¹⁰ Therefore I am enduring all because of those who are chosen, that they also may be happening upon the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with glory eonian." ¹¹ Faithful is the saying: "For if we died together, we shall be living together also;" ¹² if we are enduring, we shall be reigning together also; if we are disowning, He also will be disowning us;"

³⁶ for you have need of endurance that, doing the will of God, you should be requited with the promise."

⁷ Be patient, then, brethren, till the presence of the Lord. Lo! the farmer is waiting for the precious fruit of the land, being patient about it, till it should be getting the early and late showers." ⁸ You also, then, be patient; establish your hearts, for the presence of the Lord is near."

² who testifies to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, whatever he perceived."

⁹ '"I am aware of your acts and affliction and poverty (but you are rich) and the calumny of those saying that they themselves are Jews, and they are not, but are a synagogue of Satan." ¹⁰ Fear nothing that you are about to be suffering. Lo! the Adversary is about to be casting some of you into jail that you may be tried, and you will be having affliction ten days. Become faithful until death, and I shall be giving you the wreath of life."

¹⁰ Seeing that you keep the word of My endurance, I, also, will be keeping you out of the hour of trial which is about to be coming on the whole inhabited earth to try those dwelling on the earth."

⁷ And whenever they should be finishing their testimony, the wild beast which is ascending out of the submerged chaos will be doing battle with them and will be conquering them and killing them."

¹⁰ If anyone is for captivity, into captivity he is going. If anyone will be killing with the sword, he must with the sword be killed. Here is the endurance and faith of the saints."

¹² Here is the endurance of the saints, who are keeping the precepts of God and the faith of Jesus."

¹⁰ And I fall in front of his feet to worship him. And he is saying to me, "See! No! A fellow slave of yours am I, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

⁴³ He is saying to them, "How, then, is David, in spirit, calling Him Lord, saying,

¹⁹ It being, then, the evening of that day, one of the sabbaths, and the doors having been locked where the disciples were gathered together, because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and is saying to them, "Peace to you!"

²⁶ And after eight days His disciples were again within, and Thomas was with them. The doors having been locked, Jesus is coming and stood in the midst and said, "Peace to you!"

¹⁰ Now he became ravenous and wanted to taste food. Now, while they are preparing it, an ecstasy came on him, ¹¹ and he is beholding heaven open and a certain utensil descending, as a large sheet, with four edges, being let down on the earth, ¹² in which belonged all the quadrupeds and reptiles of the earth and the flying creatures of heaven. ¹³ And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter! Sacrifice and eat!" ¹⁴ Yet Peter said, "Far be it from me, Lord, for I never ate anything contaminating and unclean!" ¹⁵ And again, a second time, a voice came to him, "What God cleanses, do not you count contaminating!" ¹⁶ Now this occurred thrice, and straightway the utensil was taken up into heaven." ¹⁷ Now, as Peter was bewildered in himself as to what the vision which he perceived should be, lo! the men who have been dispatched by Cornelius, asking the way through to the house of Simon, stand by at the portal." ¹⁸ And, shouting, they inquired to ascertain if Simon, surnamed Peter, is lodging in this place." ¹⁹ Now, as Peter is engrossed, concerned with the vision, the spirit said to him, "Lo! three men are seeking you!" ²⁰ But, rising, descend and go with them, nothing doubting, for I have commissioned them." ²¹ Now Peter, descending to the men, said, "Lo! I am he whom you are seeking. What is the cause for which you are present? ²² Now they say, "Cornelius, a centurion, a man just and God-fearing, besides being attested by the whole nation of the Jews, is apprized by a holy messenger to send after you to come into his house, and to hear declarations from you." ²³ Calling them in, then, he lodges them. Now on the morrow, on rising, he came away together with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa came with him." ²⁴ Now on the morrow he entered into Caesarea. Now Cornelius was hoping for them, calling together his relatives and intimate friends." ²⁵ Now as Peter came to enter, Cornelius, meeting with him, falling at his feet, worships." ²⁶ Yet Peter raises him, saying, "Rise! I myself also am a man." ²⁷ And, conversing with him, he entered, and is finding many come together." ²⁸ Besides, he averred to them, "You are versed in the fact how illicit it is for a man who is a Jew to join or come to another tribe, and God shows me not to say that any man is contaminating or unclean." ²⁹ Wherefore, without gainsaying, also, being sent after, I came. I am inquiring to ascertain, then, on what account you send after me." ³⁰ And Cornelius averred, "Four days ago unto this hour was I fasting, and at the ninth, praying in my house, and lo! a man stood before me in splendid attire, ³¹ and is averring, 'Cornelius, your prayer is hearkened to, and your alms are brought to remembrance in God's sight." ³² Send, then, into Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter. He is lodging in the house of Simon, a tanner, beside the sea.'" ³³ Forthwith, then I send to you. Besides you do ideally in coming along. Now, then, we are all present in God's sight to hear all that you have been bidden by the Lord."

⁷ Now on one of the sabbaths, at our having gathered to break bread, Paul argued with them, being about to be off on the morrow. Besides, he prolonged the word unto midnight."

² On one of the sabbaths let each of you lay aside by himself in store that in which he should be prospered, that no collections may be occurring then, whenever I may come."

² I am acquainted with a man in Christ, fourteen years before this, (whether in a body I am not aware, or outside of the body, I am not aware - God is aware) such a one was snatched away to the third heaven. " ³ And I am acquainted with such a man (whether in a body or outside of the body I am not aware - God is aware) ⁴ that he was snatched away into paradise and hears ineffable declarations, which it is not allowed a man to speak. "

¹ After these things I perceived, and lo! a door is open in heaven, and lo! the first sound which I hear is as a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here! and I will be showing you what must be occurring after these things." ² Now immediately I came to be in spirit, and lo! a throne, located in heaven, and on the throne One sitting."

³ And he cries with a loud voice, even as a lion is bellowing. And when he cries, the seven thunders speak with their own voices." ⁴ And when the seven thunders speak, I was about to be writing. And I hear a voice out of heaven saying, "Seal what things the seven thunders speak,and "Them you should not be writing." ⁵ And the messenger whom I perceived standing on the sea and on the land lifts his right hand to heaven ⁶ and swears by Him Who is living for the eons of the eons, Who creates heaven and that which is in it, and the earth and that which is in it, and the sea and that which is in it, that there will be no longer a time of delay, ⁷ but in the days of the seventh messenger's voice, whenever he may be about to be trumpeting, the secret of God is consummated also, as He evangelizes to His own slaves and the prophets." ⁸ And the voice which I hear out of heaven speaks again with me, and is saying, "Go, get the tiny scroll open in the hand of the messenger standing on the sea and on the land."

³ And he carries me away, in spirit, into a wilderness. And I perceived a woman sitting on a scarlet wild beast replete with names of blasphemy, and having seven heads and ten horns."

¹⁰ And he carries me away, in spirit, on a mountain, huge and high, and shows me the holy city, Jerusalem, as it is descending out of heaven from God,

¹⁹ And now, write down for yourselves this song and teach it to the sons of Israel. Put it in their mouths so that this song may come to be for Me as a testimony against the sons of Israel.

⁸ Now come, write it on a tablet for them. And on a scroll delineate it, and it shall come to be for the day hereafter, for the future, till the eon."

² `Thus spoke Yahweh, Elohim of Israel, saying, Write for you all the words that I have spoken unto you on a book."

² And Yahweh is answering me and saying, Write the vision, and publish it on tablets, that he may run who is reading it."

¹⁹ Now they arrive at Ephesus and he left them there. Yet he, entering the synagogue, argues with the Jews." ²⁰ Yet at their asking him to stay on more time, he does not consent, ²¹ but, taking leave and saying, "I shall come back again to you, God willing,he set out from Ephesus."

²⁴ Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native Alexandrian, a scholarly man, arrives at Ephesus, being able in the scriptures."

¹ Now it occurred while Apollos is in Corinth, Paul, passing through the upper parts, comes down to Ephesus and, finding some disciples, ² said to them, "Did you obtain holy spirit on believing?Yet they to him, "Nay, neither hear we if there is holy spirit." ³ Yet he said, "Into what, then, are you baptized?Yet they say "Into John's baptism." ⁴ Yet Paul said, "John baptizes with the baptism of repentance, telling the people that in the One coming after him they should be believing, that is, in Jesus." ⁵ Now, hearing this, they are baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." ⁶ And at the placing of Paul's hands on them, the holy spirit came on them. Besides, they spoke languages and prophesied." ⁷ Now there were, in all, about twelve men." ⁸ Now, entering the synagogue, he spoke boldly for three months, arguing and persuading as to that which concerns the kingdom of God." ⁹ Now, as some were hardened and stubborn, saying evil things of the way before the multitude, withdrawing from them, he severs the disciples, arguing day by day in the school of Tyrannus." ¹⁰ Now this occurred for two years, so that all those dwelling in the province of Asia hear the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks." ¹¹ Besides, powerful deeds, not the casual kind, God did through the hands of Paul, ¹² so the handkerchiefs or aprons from his cuticle are carried away to the infirm also, to clear the diseases from them. Besides, wicked spirits go out." ¹³ Now some of the wandering Jews also, exorcists, take in hand to name the name of the Lord Jesus over those having wicked spirits, saying, "I am adjuring you by the Jesus Whom Paul is heralding!" ¹⁴ Now there were some seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, doing this." ¹⁵ Yet answering, the wicked spirit said to them, "Jesus, indeed, I know, and in Paul am I versed, yet who are you? ¹⁶ And leaping on them, the man in whom the wicked spirit was, getting the mastery of both, is too strong for them, so that, naked and wounded, they are escaping out of that house." ¹⁷ Now this became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who are dwelling in Ephesus. And fear falls on them all, and magnified was the name of the Lord Jesus." ¹⁸ Besides, many who have believed came, confessing and informing them of their practices." ¹⁹ Now a considerable number of those practicing the meddling arts, carrying together the scrolls, burned them up in sight of all. And they compute their value and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver." ²⁰ Thus mightily the word of the Lord grows and was strong. ²¹ Now as these things were fulfilled, Paul pondered in spirit, passing through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying that, "After my coming to be there I must see Rome also." ²² Now dispatching to Macedonia two of those serving him, Timothy and Erastus, he attended, for the time, to the province of Asia." ²³ Now at that season no slight disturbance occurred concerning the way; ²⁴ for a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, making silver temples of Artemis, afforded no slight income to the artificers, ²⁵ whom convening together, as also the workers about such things, he said, "Men! You are versed in the fact that by this vocation we thrive, ²⁶ and you are beholding and hearing that, not only of Ephesus, but of almost the entire province of Asia, this Paul by his persuading causes a considerable throng to stand aloof, saying that they are not gods which are coming into being by means of hands." ²⁷ Now, not only is this endangering our party, by it coming to be confuted, but the sanctuary of the great goddess Artemis also is being thereby reckoned nothing. Besides, her magnificence is about to be pulled down also, whom the whole province of Asia and the inhabited earth is revering." ²⁸ Now, hearing this and becoming full of fury, they cried, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" ²⁹ And filled is the city with confusion. Besides, they rush with one accord into the theater, gripping Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, fellow travelers of Paul." ³⁰ (Now, at Paul's intending to enter in to the populace, the disciples did not let him." ³¹ Yet some of the chiefs of the province of Asia also, being his friends, sending to him, entreated him not to venture into the theater himself.)" ³² Others, indeed, then, cried some other thing, for the ecclesia was in confusion, and the majority were not aware on what account they had come together." ³³ Now they unite on Alexander, one of the throng, the Jews pushing him forward. Now Alexander, gesturing with his hand, wanted to make a defense to the populace." ³⁴ Yet, on recognizing that he is a Jew, one voice came from all for about two hours, crying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians! Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" ³⁵ Now, composing the throng, the scribe is averring, "Men! Ephesians!What man is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is sexton of the temple of the great Artemis and of that which fell from Zeus? ³⁶ These things, then, not being gainsaid, you must possess composure and no one commit anything rash." ³⁷ For you led these men, who are neither despoilers of the sanctuary, nor blasphemers of our goddess." ³⁸ Indeed, then, if Demetrius and the artificers with him have a charge against anyone, court sessions are being held, and there are proconsuls; let them be indicting one another." ³⁹ Now if you are seeking for anything concerning other things, in the legal ecclesia will it be explained." ⁴⁰ For we are also in danger of being indicted concerning today's commotion, there inhering not one cause concerning which we shall be able to render any account concerning this riot." ⁴¹ And, saying these things, he dismisses the ecclesia."

¹⁷ Now from Miletus, sending to Ephesus, he calls for the elders of the ecclesia."

³² if, as a man, I fight wild beasts in Ephesus, what is the benefit to me? If the dead are not being roused, "we may be eating and drinking, for tomorrow we are dying."

⁸ Yet I shall stay in Ephesus till Pentecost,

¹ Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, to all the saints who are also believers in Christ Jesus:"

¹⁵ Greet the brethren in Laodicea, and Nympha and the ecclesia at her house." ¹⁶ And whenever the epistle should be read to you, cause that it should be read in the Laodicean ecclesia also, and that you also may be reading that out of Laodicea."

³ According as I entreat you, remain with them in Ephesus, when going into Macedonia, that you should be charging some not to be teaching differently,

¹⁹ Write then, what you perceived, and what they are, and what is about to be occurring after these things:"

⁴ And when the seven thunders speak, I was about to be writing. And I hear a voice out of heaven saying, "Seal what things the seven thunders speak,and "Them you should not be writing."

¹³ And I hear a voice out of heaven, saying, "Write: 'Happy are the dead who are dying in the Lord henceforth! Yea, the spirit is saying that they will be resting from their toil, for their acts are following with them.'"

⁹ And he is saying to me, "Write: 'Happy are those invited to the wedding dinner of the Lambkin.'And he is saying to me, "These are the true sayings of God."

⁵ And He Who is sitting on the throne said, "Lo! New am I making all!And He is saying, "Write, for these sayings are faithful and true."

³⁷ You will make its seven lamps, and one will set up its lamps, so that it gives light over across its face.

⁵ And take me up does the Spirit, and brings me in unto the inner court, and lo, the honor of Yahweh has filled the house." ⁶ And I hear one speaking unto me from the house, and a man has been standing near me,

⁹ The voice of Yahweh is calling to the city, and real wisdom will fear His name. Hear the rod and who appointed it."

² And he is saying to me, What are you seeing? And I am saying, I see and behold! a lampstand, all of it of gold, and a globe on its top, and seven lamps on its seven branches, and seven tubes for the lamps which are on its top."

¹³ and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like a son of mankind, dressed in a garment reaching to the feet, and girded about at the breasts with a golden girdle."

⁶ They will make the vestment of gold, blue purple, double-dipped crimson and corded cambric, the handiwork of a designer. ⁷ Two joining shoulderpieces shall be for it, on both its ends where it is made to join. ⁸ And the designed band of his vestment which shall be on it, shall be like its handiwork of one piece with it, of gold, blue, purple, double-dipped crimson and corded cambric.

⁵ And the designed band of his vestment, which was on it, it was one piece with it, like its handiwork, of gold, blue, purple, double-dipped crimson and corded cambric, just as Yahweh had instructed Moses.

⁷ put the tunic on him, girded him with the sash, clothed him with the robe and put the vestment on him. Then he girded him with the designed band of the vestment and invested him with it.

⁵ And it comes that righteousness is the belt of His waist, and faithfulness the band of His loins."

²⁶ And above the expanse that [is] over their head, as an appearance of a sapphire stone, [is] the likeness of a throne, and on the likeness of the throne a likeness, as the appearance of man upon it from above." ²⁷ And I see as the color of copper, as the appearance of fire within it round about, from the appearance of his loins and upward, and from the appearance of his loins and downward, I have seen as the appearance of fire, and brightness [is] to it round about." ²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness round about."

⁹ Perceiving am I till thrones were placed, and the Transferrer of Days sits:His clothing is pale as snow, and the hair of His head as immaculate wool; His throne is as flaring flame, its rollers a flashing flame."

⁵ I am lifting my eyes, I am seeing and behold, one man clothed in linen:His waist is girded with certified gold of Ophaz, ⁶ his body is as topaz, his face is as the appearance of lightning, his eyes are as torches of fire, his arms and his feet are as the sparkle of scintillating copper, and the sound of his words is as the sound of a throng."

¹⁶ And behold, one as the likeness of the sons of humanity is touching my lips. I am opening my mouth to speak and am saying to him who is standing in front of me, "My lord, by the sight of thee my throes are turned on me, and no vigor do I retain."

⁷ nevertheless empties Himself, taking the form of a slave, coming to be in the likeness of humanity, ⁸ and, being found in fashion as a human, He humbles Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

¹⁴ Since, then, the little children have participated in blood and flesh, He also was very nigh by partaking of the same, that, through death, He should be discarding him who has the might of death, that is, the Adversary, ¹⁵ and should be clearing those whoever, in fear of death, were through their entire life liable to slavery." ¹⁶ For assuredly it is not taking hold of messengers, but it is taking hold of the seed of Abraham." ¹⁷ Whence He ought, in all things, to be made like the brethren, that He may be becoming a merciful and faithful Chief Priest in that which is toward God, to make a propitiatory shelter for the sins of the people."

¹⁵ For we have not a Chief Priest not able to sympathize with our infirmities, but One Who has been tried in all respects like us, apart from sin."

¹⁴ And I perceived, and lo! a white cloud, and on the cloud One sitting like a son of mankind, having a golden wreath on His head, and a sharp sickle in His hand."

⁶ And out of the temple came the seven messengers who have the seven calamities, dressed in clean, resplendent linen, and girded about their chests with golden girdles."

⁶ his body is as topaz, his face is as the appearance of lightning, his eyes are as torches of fire, his arms and his feet are as the sparkle of scintillating copper, and the sound of his words is as the sound of a throng."

³ Now he was, to the perception, as lightning, and his apparel white as if snow."

¹² Now His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems, having names written of which no one except Himself is aware,

⁴ Greater than the sounds of mighty waters, Nobler than the breakers of the sea, Is Yahweh noble in the height."

¹³ The folkstems shall be tumulted as the tumult of many waters, yet He rebukes them, and they flee far off, and they will be pursued as the trash of the winnowers before the wind, and as a tumbleweed before a sweeping whirlwind."

⁷ and their feet [are] straight feet, and the sole of their feet [is] as a sole of a calf's foot, and they are sparkling as the color of bright brass;"

³ And He brings me in thither, and lo, a man, his appearance as the appearance of brass, and a thread of flax in his hand, and a measuring-reed, and he is standing at the gate,

² And lo, the honor of the Elohim of Israel has come from the way of the east, and His voice [is] as the noise of many waters, and the earth has shone from His honor."

² And I hear a sound out of heaven as the sound of many waters and as the sound of loud thunder, and the sound which I hear is as lyre singers playing on their lyres."

⁶ And I hear as it were the voice of a vast throng, and as it were the sound of many waters, and as it were the sound of strong thunders, saying, "Hallelujah! for the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns!"

⁷ When the stars of the morning jubilated together, And all the sons of Elohim shouted with joy?

⁴ Yet He will judge with righteousness the poor, and correct with equity for the humble of the land. And He will smite the earth with the club of His mouth, and with the spirit of His lips will He put to death the wicked."

²³ And the brick will melt, and the wall will fall, for Yahweh of hosts is King in mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and in front of His elders is He glorified."

² And He is constituting my mouth as a sharp sword. In the shadow of His hand He hides me. And He is constituting me a choice arrow. In His quiver He conceals me.

¹⁹ No further, for you, is the sun coming to be for light by day, and for brightness the moon shall not give light to you at night. Yet Yahweh comes to be your light eonian, and your Elohim to be your beauty." ²⁰ No further shall your sun set, nor your moon be gathered in, for Yahweh shall be yours for light eonian; and repaid are the days of your mourning."

¹⁰ He is growing great unto the host of the heavens, and cast to the earth is one from the host, and one from the stars who is also tramping on them."

³ The intelligent shall warn as the warning of the atmosphere, and those justifying many are as the stars for the eon and further."

² Yet the Sun of righteousness shall radiate to you who fear My name, and healing is in its wings. And you shall come forth, and you prance as calves of the stall."

² and was transformed in front of them. And His face shines as the sun, yet His garments became white as the light."

¹³ at midday, on the road, I perceived, O king, a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining about me and those going together with me."

¹⁷ And receive the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is a declaration of God."

¹² For the word of God is living and operative, and keen above any two-edged sword, and penetrating up to the parting of soul and spirit, both of the articulations and marrow, and is a judge of the sentiments and thoughts of the heart."

¹⁶ Repent then! Yet if not, I am coming to you swiftly and shall be battling with them with the blade of My mouth."

¹ And I perceived another strong messenger descending out of heaven, clothed with a cloud, and the rainbow on his head, and his face as the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire,

¹ And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon underneath her feet, and on her head a wreath of twelve stars."

²¹ And the rest were killed with the blade which is coming out of the mouth of Him Who is sitting on the horse. And all the birds are satisfied with their flesh.

¹ After these matters came the word of Yahweh to Abram in a vision, saying, "You must not fear, Abram! I am your Shield, your exceedingly increased Hire.

¹³ Then Moses said to the people: Do not fear! Station yourselves and see the salvation of Yahweh which He shall work for you today, for you see the Egyptians today, you shall not anymore see them again unto the eon.

²⁰ Then Moses said to the people: Do not fear, for in order to probe you the One, Elohim has come, and in order that the fear of Him should come over your faces, that you may not sin.

¹⁰ You must not fear, for I am with you, and you must not take heed for yourself, for I am your Elohim. I make you resolute; indeed, I help you. Indeed, I uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.'"

²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in a cloud in a day of rain, so [is] the appearance of the brightness round about."

¹⁷ Then he is coming to stand beside me. At his coming I am frightened and falling on my face. And he is saying to me, "Understand, son of humanity, that for the era of the end is the vision." ¹⁸ At his speaking with me, I am stupefied, with my face to the earth. And he is touching me, and is setting me upright."

⁸ No vigor remains in me, my splendor is turned on me to corruption, and no vigor do I retain." ⁹ I am hearing the sound of his words, and when I hear the sound of his words, then I become stupefied on my face, with my face to the earth." ¹⁰ And behold, a hand touches me; it is swaying me to my knees and the palms of my hands."

¹² Then he is saying to me, "You must not fear, Daniel, for from the first day on which you gave your heart to understand and to humble yourself before Yahweh your Elohim, your words were heard, and I came because of your words;"

¹⁵ At his speaking with me these words I put my face to the earth and am mute.

¹⁷ How can the servant of this my lord speak with this my lord? And I--henceforth no vigor is standing in me, and breath does not remain in me." ¹⁸ Then continuing, touching me is one having the appearance of a human. He is encouraging me and saying, ¹⁹ You must not fear, man of coveted qualities! Peace be yours! Steadfast! Now be steadfast!At his speaking with me, I am encouraged and am saying, "Let my lord speak, for you encourage me."

¹⁶ I heard and my belly is disturbed; at the sound my lips tingled; trembling is coming into my bones, and under me I am disturbed in flesh. I will rest for the day of distress to go up to the people of my sojourning."

² and was transformed in front of them. And His face shines as the sun, yet His garments became white as the light." ³ And lo! Moses and Elijah were seen by them, conferring with Him." ⁴ Now, answering, Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is ideal for us to be here! If Thou art willing, I shall be making three tabernacles here, for Thee one, and for Moses one, and for Elijah one." ⁵ While he is still speaking, lo! a luminous cloud overshadows them, and lo! a voice out of the cloud, saying, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in Whom I delight. Hear Him!" ⁶ And, hearing it, the disciples fall on their faces and were tremendously afraid." ⁷ And Jesus approached and, touching them, said, "Be roused, and fear not!"

⁴ Now from fear of him the keepers quaked and became as the dead.

⁵ And, entering into the tomb, they perceived a youth sitting at the right, clothed with a white robe, and they were overawed." ⁶ Now he is saying to them, "Be not overawed! Jesus are you seeking, the Nazarene, the Crucified. He was roused! He is not here! Perceive the place where they place Him!"

³⁷ Yet, being dismayed and becoming affrighted, they supposed they are beholding a spirit." ³⁸ And He said to then, "Why are you disturbed? And wherefore are reasonings coming up in your hearts? ³⁹ Perceive My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and perceive, for a spirit has not flesh and bones according as you behold Me having."

²³ Now one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved, was lying back in the bosom of Jesus."

²⁰ Now Peter, being turned about, is observing the disciple whom Jesus loved, following, who leans back also on His chest at the dinner and said to Him, "Lord who is it who is giving Thee up?

²⁵ Yet as for me, I know my Redeemer is living, And after this He shall arise on the soil;"

⁴⁶ Alive is Yahweh, and being blessed is my Rock; Let the Elohim of my salvation be exalted."

²⁰ Our El is an El of grand salvation, And to Yahweh, my Lord, belong the exits from death."

²² And I bestow the key of the house of David on his shoulder. And he opens, and there is no locking, and he locks, and there is no opening."

¹⁹ I will be giving you the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatsoever you should be binding on the earth shall be those things having been bound in the heavens, and whatsoever you should be loosing on the earth, shall be those having been loosed in the heavens."

¹⁹ Still a little and the world is beholding Me no longer, yet you are beholding Me. Seeing that I am living, you also will be living."

⁹ having perceived that Christ, being roused from among the dead, is no longer dying. Death is lording it over Him no longer,

⁸ For both, if we should be living, to the Lord are we living, and if we should be dying, to the Lord are we dying. Then, both if we should be living and if we should be dying, we are the Lord's." ⁹ For for this Christ died and lives, that He should be Lord of the dead as well as of the living."

¹⁴ For the love of Christ is constraining us, judging this, that, if One died for the sake of all, consequently all died." ¹⁵ And He died for the sake of all that those who are living should by no means still be living to themselves, but to the One dying and being roused for their sakes."

⁴ For even if He was crucified out of weakness, nevertheless He is living by the power of God. For we also are weak together with Him, but we shall be living together with Him by the power of God for you. "

³ for you died, and your life is hid together with Christ in God."

³ Who, being the Effulgence of His glory and Emblem of His assumption, besides carrying on all by His powerful declaration, making a cleansing of sins, is seated at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights;"

¹⁶ Who has not come to be according to the law of a fleshy precept, but according to the power of an indissoluble life."

²⁵ Whence, also, He is able to save to the uttermost those coming to God through Him, always being alive to be pleading for their sake."

² looking off to the Inaugurator and Perfecter of faith, Jesus, Who, for the joy lying before Him, endures a cross, despising the shame, besides is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."

⁹ And whenever the animals should be giving glory and honor and thanks to Him Who is sitting on the throne, Who is living for the eons of the eons (Amen!),

¹⁴ And the four animals said, "Amen!And the elders fall and worship."

¹ And the fifth messenger trumpets. And I perceived a star fallen out of heaven into the earth. And to him was given the key of the well of the submerged chaos.

¹ And I perceived a messenger descending out of heaven, having the key of the submerged chaos and a large chain in his hand." ² And he lays hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the Adversary and Satan, and binds him a thousand years."

¹⁴ And death and the unseen were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death-the lake of fire.

¹¹ saying, "What you are observing write into a scroll and send it to the seven ecclesias: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea."

¹ After these things I perceived, and lo! a door is open in heaven, and lo! the first sound which I hear is as a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here! and I will be showing you what must be occurring after these things." ² Now immediately I came to be in spirit, and lo! a throne, located in heaven, and on the throne One sitting." ³ And He Who is sitting is, to my vision, like a jasper stone and a carnelian. And a rainbow around the throne is, to my vision, like an emerald." ⁴ And around the throne I perceived twenty-four thrones, and on the twenty-four thrones elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads golden wreaths." ⁵ And out of the throne are issuing lightnings and voices and thunders. And seven torches of fire are burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God." ⁶ And before the throne it is as a glassy sea, like crystal. And in the center of the throne and around the throne are four animals replete with eyes in front and behind." ⁷ And the first animal is like a lion, and the second animal is like a calf, and the third animal has a face like as a human being, and the fourth animal is like a flying vulture." ⁸ And the four animals, each one of them having six wings apiece, around and inside are replete with eyes. And they have no rest day and night, saying, "Holy! holy! holy! Lord God Almighty, Who wast and Who art and Who art coming!" ⁹ And whenever the animals should be giving glory and honor and thanks to Him Who is sitting on the throne, Who is living for the eons of the eons (Amen!), ¹⁰ the twenty-four elders, also, will be falling before Him Who is sitting on the throne and will be worshiping Him Who is living for the eons of the eons (Amen!). And they are casting their wreaths before the throne, saying, ¹¹ Worthy art Thou, O Lord, our Lord and God, To get glory and honor and power; For Thou dost create all, And because of Thy will they were, and are created."

⁷ For the lips of a priest shall keep knowledge, and the law shall they seek from his mouth, for the messenger of Yahweh of hosts is he."

¹⁴ You are the light of the world. A city located upon a mountain can not be hid. ¹⁵ Neither are they burning a lamp and placing it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it is shining to all those in the house. ¹⁶ Thus let shine your light in front of men, so that they may perceive your ideal acts and should glorify your Father Who is in the heavens.

¹¹ Now, answering, He said to them that "To you has it been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of the heavens, yet to those it has not been given."

¹⁰ Now He said, "To you has it been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, yet to the rest in parables, that, observing, they may not be observing, and hearing, they may not be understanding."

¹⁵ that you may become blameless and artless, children of God, flawless, in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse among whom you are appearing as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ having on the word of life, for my glorying in the day of Christ, that I did not run for naught, neither that I toil for naught."

¹⁴ These things I am writing to you, though expecting to come to you more quickly, ¹⁵ yet, if I should be tardy, that you may be perceiving how one must behave in God's house, which is the ecclesia of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth." ¹⁶ And avowedly great is the secret of devoutness, which was manifested in flesh, justified in spirit, seen by messengers, heralded among the nations, believed in the world, taken up in glory."

¹² And I turn about to look for the voice which spoke with me. And, turning about, I perceived seven golden lampstands, ¹³ and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like a son of mankind, dressed in a garment reaching to the feet, and girded about at the breasts with a golden girdle."

¹⁶ And He has in His right hand seven stars, and out of His mouth a sharp two-edged blade is issuing, and His countenance is as the sun appearing in its power."

¹ To the messenger of the ecclesia in Ephesus write: `Now this He is saying Who is holding the seven stars in His right hand, Who is walking in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:"
