The Spirit and the Bride Calls
And he
said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the
time is near. Let the evildoer
still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do
right, and the holy still be holy.”
“See, I am coming
soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone’s work. I
am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they
will have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by the gates.
Outside
are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and
everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
“It is I, Jesus,
who sent my angel to you with this testimony for the churches. I am the root
and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
The Spirit and the
bride say, “Come.”
And let everyone who hears say, “Come.”
And let everyone who is thirsty come.
Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift.
And let everyone who hears say, “Come.”
And let everyone who is thirsty come.
Let anyone who wishes take the water of life as a gift.
I warn
everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to
them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book; if
anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take
away that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are
described in this book.
The one who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord
Jesus!
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
