I. Alpha and Omega

Grace be unto you and peace from him which is,

and which was, which is to come;

and from the seven spirits which are before his throne

and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness

and the first begotten of the dead

and the prince of the kings of the earth

unto him that loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood

and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father

to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever

"I am which is and which was, which is to come

I am the first and the last, I´m God´s son

I am the Alpha and Omega, I´m the end

I´m the beginning-the Almighty-heaven sent"

Seven stars he had in his hand

out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword

and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength

and when I saw him I fell at his feet

and he laid his hand upon me

saying unto me: "Fear not, I am the first and the last."

Write down the mistery of the seven stars and the seven golden candlesticks

which thou sawest in my right hand.

The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches

and the seven candlesticks are the seven churches

"I am that liveth, I am he that was dead.

I have the keys of both hell and of death.

I am the Alpha and Omega, I´m the end

I´m the beginning-the Almight-heaven sent."
