I heard a human voice calling from the middle of the Ulai: ‘Gabriel, explain the vision to this man.’
while I was praying, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the first vision, reached me in my extreme weariness, about the time of the evening offering.
At the beginning of your petitions an answer went out, and I have come to give it, for you are treasured by God. , So consider the message and understand the vision:
Indeed, the Lord God does nothing without revealing his counsel to his servants the prophets.
For I have not spoken on my own, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a command to say everything I have said.
I do not call you servants any more, because a servant doesn’t know what his master , is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father.
because I have given them the words you gave me. They have received them and have known for certain that I came from you. They have believed that you sent me.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard, and yet no one accepts his testimony.
‘I have many things to say and to judge about you, but the one who sent me is true, and what I have heard from him #– #these things I tell the world.’
Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the proclamation about Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent for long ages
For I did not receive it from a human source and I was not taught it, but it came by a revelation of Jesus Christ.
The mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have briefly written above.
Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, for the faith of God’s elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness,
Therefore write what you have seen, what is, and what will take place after this.
I, John, your brother and partner in the affliction, kingdom, and endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me: ‘Come, I will show you the judgement of the notorious prostitute , who is seated on many waters.
Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, ‘Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who hold firmly to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God, because the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.’
Then he said to me, ‘Write: Blessed are those invited to the marriage feast of the Lamb! ’ He also said to me, ‘These words of God are true.’
I also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Then one of the seven angels, who had held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues, came and spoke with me: ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’
Then he showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
‘I, Jesus, have sent my angel to attest these things to you for the churches. I am the Root and descendant of David, the bright morning star.’
Then he said to me, ‘These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.’
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me.
But he said to me, ‘Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words of this book. Worship God! ’
After this I looked, and there in heaven was an open door. The first voice that I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, ‘Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.’
He went and took the scroll out of the right hand of the one seated on the throne.
