1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his slaves things which are convenient to do quickly, and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his slave John, 2 who bore witness of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he that reads and those that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand.
