| 1 This is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God revealed to him to show those conditions of thought which must soon be unveiled for his faithful ones, and he signified them to his loyal student, John, | 1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John: |
| 2 Who recorded the Science of being, by the testimony of Jesus Christ, and all phenomena which he discerned | 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. |
| 3 Now blessings come to those that read and spiritually perceive the Science of this prophecy and observe its teachings, for spiritual perfection is now apparent. | 3 Blessed [is] he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time [is] at hand. |
| 4 I, John, declare to the complete range of Christ's devotees: Grace and peace be unto you from divine Principle which is forever timeless, and from the entire spectrum^ of Spirit's character, | 4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; |
| 5 And from Jesus, who only bears witness to Christ, Truth, who proved the nothingness of death as a king after the order of Melchizedek^. Now Jesus' self-sacrifice was inspired with such great love that it precluded sin by the presence of his own life, | 5 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, |
| 6 Thus revealing the sovereign spiritualized man^ and woman^ of divine Life, after the Order of Melchizedek; glory and dominion is eternally bestowed on him. | 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. |
| 7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. | 7 Behold the message of beclouded praise; everyone can discern divine Science to be that |
| 8 "Only Mind reveals noumenon and phenomenon, cause and effect," stated the Lord, "the everlasting, almighty I-am." | 8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. |
| 9 I, John, your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patient endurance of Jesus Christ, was in exile on the prison island called Patmos, for the glory of God, and for the testimony of Christ Jesus. | 9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. |
| 10 And I, John, was in the spirit of Love's irradiance^, and perceived the reverse of evil, which brought me a great call of wisdom^, | 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, |
| 11 Saying, "The only I-am is both noumenon and phenomenon, God and idea; and what is spiritually discerned write in a book, so it will be translated to discern the completion of omnipresent Truth and Love, even unto their utmost theological superstructures"; | 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send [it] unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. |
| 12 And by reversal, I spiritually discerned the message which came to me; and being reversed, the complete "radiance of glorified Being^" was discerned; | 12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; |
| 13 Now at the core of these complete illuminations was one^ following in Jesus' footsteps, clothed with sovereign dignity. | 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. |
| 14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire; | 14 That one's thought, like the science of numbers, is pure as innocence, natural as light, since spiritual discernment consumes error, |
| 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. | 15 So this pathway is guided by effulgent Truth, with that one's |
| 16 And with this message of omnipotence comes complete enlightenment, and with this great message comes justice, "guarding and guiding^," as this presence powerfully shines with the irradiance of Life. | 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength. |
| 17 When I realized this, mortal sense fell dead before the inspired grounds upon which I stood. And according to this one's spiritual power, it was declared, "Fear not, immortal Mind is the only cause and effect. | 17 But the midwives honored God by saving the lives of the male children and did not obey as the king of darkness had commanded them. |
| 18 "I am the one that is now undersood but was not understood until explained by Science; I have the key to unveil the mysterious illusion that mortal belief and death have a presence. | 18 I [am] he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. |
| 19 "Transcribe these allegories which have been manifested, how they appear now, and what they ultimately bring. | 19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; |
| 20 "The mystery is now unveiled of the seven starry ideas which were seen held by righteousness, and the seven precious standards. Now the seven starry ideas are the following enlightened messages for the full range of his disciples and the seven precious standards are for those manifold students of 'the radiance of glorified Being^.'" | 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. |
