Amen. 8“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, who was, and who is coming, the Almighty.” 9I, John, your brother, who share with you in the tribulation, the kingdom, and the patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11saying, “Write on a scroll what you see, and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
