who is the faithful witness,

for ever and ever.
Amen.

and companion in tribulation,
and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ,
was in the isle that is called Patmos,
for the word of God,
and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:10-11
King James Version
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day,
and heard behind me a great voice,
as of a trumpet,
11 Saying,
I am Alpha and Omega,
the first and the last: and,
What thou seest, write in a book,
and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia;
unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna,
and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira,
and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia,
and unto Laodicea.
Revelation 1:12-16
King James Version
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks
one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot,
and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool,
as white as snow;
and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass,
as if they burned in a furnace;
and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars:
and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword:
and his countenance was as the sun shineth
in his strength.
Revelation 1:17-20
King James Version
17 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:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead;
and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen;
and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen,
and the things which are,
and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 The mystery of the seven stars
which thou sawest in my right hand,
and the seven golden candlesticks.
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches:
and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest
are the seven churches.
Now, we're ready to hear what JESUS told the seven churches.
Starting with the church in Ephesus.
