So I am throwing her into a sickbed; and those who commit adultery with her I am throwing into great trouble, unless they turn from the sins connected with what she does;

and I will strike her children dead! Then all the Messianic communities will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts, and that I will give to each of you what your deeds deserve.

But to the rest of you in Thyatira, to those who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some people call the ‘deep things' of the Adversary, I say this: I am not loading you up with another burden;

I am coming soon; hold on to what you have, so that no one will take away your crown.

For you keep saying, ‘ I am rich, I have gotten rich , I don't need a thing!' You don't know that you are the one who is wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked!

("Look! I am coming like a thief! How blessed are those who stay alert and keep their clothes clean, so that they won't be walking naked and be publicly put to shame!")

"Give her as much torment and sorrow as the glory and luxury she gave herself! For in her heart she says, ‘I sit a queen — I am not a widow, I will never see sorrow.'

Then the One sitting on the throne said, "Look! I am making everything new!" Also he said, "Write, ‘These words are true and trustworthy!'"

And he said to me, "It is done! I am the ‘A' and the ‘Z,' the Beginning and the End. To anyone who is thirsty I myself will give water free of charge from the Fountain of Life.

"Look! I am coming very soon. Blessed is the person who obeys the words of the prophecy written in this book!"

But he said to me, "Don't do that! I am only a fellow-servant with you and your brothers, the prophets and the people who obey the words in this book. Worship God!"

"Pay attention!" [says Yeshua,] "I am coming soon, and my rewards are with me to give to each person according to what he has done.

I am the ‘A' and the ‘Z,' the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."

"I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.

"The one who is testifying to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon!'" Amen! Come, Lord Yeshua!
