Monday
Revelation 1
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants[
a
] what must soon take place; he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
2
who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.
3
Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and who keep what is written in it; for the time is near.
4
John to the seven churches that are in Asia:
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
5
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
Tuesday
Revelation 1
To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood,
6
and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7
Look! He is coming with the clouds;
every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him;
and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail.
So it is to be. Amen.
8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Wednesday
Revelation 1
I, John, your brother who share with you in Jesus the persecution and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.
10
I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet
11
saying, “Write in a book 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.”
12
Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,
13
and in the midst of the lampstands I saw one like the Son of Man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash across his chest.
14
His head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire,
15
his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters.
16
In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining with full force.
17
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he placed his right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
18
and the living one. I was dead, and see, I am alive forever and ever; and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
19
Now write what you have seen, what is, and what is to take place after this.
20
As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Thursday
Revelation 22
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
2
through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3
Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants[
c
] will worship him;
4
they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
5
And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
6
And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true, for the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”
7
“See, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
Friday
Revelation 22
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me;
9
but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your comrades the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
10
And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
11
Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”
12
“See, I am coming soon; my reward is with me, to repay according to everyone’s work.
13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14
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.
15
Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and fornicators and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16
“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.”
17
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.
18
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;
19
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.
20
The one who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
