But Hanuk also, who was the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh, with myriads of his saints,

But to him who is able to keep you without falling and without spot, and to establish you without blemish, Aloha our only Saviour by Jeshu Meshiha our Lord, before his majesty with joy,

THE Revelation of Jeshu Meshiha, which Aloha gave unto him, to show unto his servants the things which must be done speedily; and which he made known, sending by his angel unto his servant Juhanon,

Juhanon to the seven churches which are in Asia: grace to you and peace from him who is, and who was, and who cometh ; [fn] from the seven Spirits who are before his throne;

and from Jeshu Meshiha who is the faithful Witness, the First-born of the dead, and Head of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and released [fn] us from our sins by his blood,

and hath made us a priestly kingdom [fn] unto Aloha and his Father; to whom be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

And in the midst of the candlesticks (one) who was like the Son of man, clothed to the foot, and girded about his paps with a circlet of gold.

But his head and hair were white as wool, white as snow; and his eyes (were) as a flame of fire,

and his feet were like refined brass, [fn] which flamed as in a furnace, and his voice as the voice of many waters.

And he had in his right hand seven stars; and from his mouth a sharp sword of two edges went forth; and his countenance was as the sun shining in his strength.

And when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid upon me his right hand, saying, Fear not: I am the First and the Last;

To the angel of the church which is in Ephesos, write: These saith the Holder of all, [fn] and of the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven candlesticks of gold.

And to the angel and church [fn] which is in Thiatiros, write: These saith the Son of Aloha, who hath his eyes as the flame of fire, and his feet like refined brass.

He who overcometh shall be clothed in white vestments, and I will not blot their [fn] name from the book of life; and I will confess their name before my Father, and before his angels.

And to him who overcometh I will give to sit with me upon my throne, as also I have overcome, and have sat with my Father in his throne.

And from the throne went forth lightnings and the voice of thunders. And there were seven lamps of fire which burned before His throne, which are the seven Spirits of Aloha.

And when he had opened the THIRD SEAL, I heard the third living one, saying, Come, and see ! And I saw, and, behold, a black horse, and he who sat upon him had a balance in his hand.

And all the angels stood around the throne, and the presbyters, and the four living-ones; and they fell before his throne upon their faces, and worshipped Aloha,

On account of this they are before the throne of Aloha, and minister to him day and night in his temple. And he who sitteth upon the throne will protect them. [fn]
