Revelation,
Lesson Four
Week 1 Day 4
Scripture for today 1.9-11
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 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's
day, and heard behind me a great
voice, as of a trumpet,
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.
