Apocalypsis (Revelation) 1

Jailed On An Island, John Sees Your Future1

[This, 😇, is a] Revelation [from] Yahshua [the] Messiah. YHVH gave this revelation to Yahshua, to show to His servants events which must shortly happen. By his angel, Yahshua sent and [explained] the revelation to [me,] JAHn, Yahshua's servant.
There are 3 reasons why ‘soon happen’ is accurate:

‘Shortly’ is relative. To YHVH, 1000 years fly like 1 day.

Also, when you die, you rocket forward to Judgment Day. You blow past all of the events in this book.

Third, prophecy fulfills in waves. So everything in this book has already happened in miniature, and will keeping reoccurring in bigger waves until the end of the world.

[I,] JAHn, give witness to you, 😇, of the word of YHVH, and of the testimony Yahshua [the] Messiah [gave me], and of everything [I] saw [in heaven].

[YAH] blesses everyone who reads and everyone who hears the words of this prophecy, and [who] obeys the commandments written it in, because the [earth's final] epoch looms at hand, 😇.
You appear at Judgment Day the moment you die. Get ready! It's coming faster than you think! Read the bible. Hear the bible. Obey the bible.

[I,] JAHn, [am writing this account] to the 7 Ekklesiae in Asia [minor]. [I pray that] grace and peace [flow] to you, 😇, from YAH (who is, and who was, and who is to come) and from the 7 Spirits before YAH's throne.
Or, ‘the 7-fold spirit’.

[And I pray that you, 😇, receive grace and peace from] Yahshua [the] Messiah, who is the Faithful Witness, the first-begotten from the dead, YAH's Prince over [all] kings of the earth. [I pray YAH always gives] glory and power to Yahshua, who loves us [so much he] washed us from our sins in his own ‘blood.’

Yahshua has made us [lowly mortals into] a kingdom of priests [serving] his Father YHVH, the Eloah. Glory and dominion [flow to YHVH] for ever and ever, 😇. [Nothing can change] that.
See 1Pe 2:9.

Watch, 😇! Yahshua approaches [earth] in [a hurricane of] clouds! Every eye soon sees Yahshua, even [the eyes] of the [murderers] who pierced him. All nations of the earth finally wail [for having ignored] Yahshua. Guaranteed! [That's a] fact!
(Amén!)

Adonai [YHVH] declares, “I am Alpha and Omega, the [self-existent] beginning and ending [of everything], the Almighty [Creator] who is, and who was, and who is to come.”
This is YHVH talking, or someone (probably Yahshua) speaking in YAH's Royal authoritative voice.

😇, i, JAHn, am your brother, [your] companion in tribulation, [your fellow-heir of both] the Dominion of, and the patient [suffering we face by following] Yahshua, [YAH's] Messiah. On the [western Turkey's penitentiary] island called Patmos, [Roman soldiers have imprisoned] me for [proclaiming] the Word of [YHVH] the Eloah. [My specific ‘crime’ is] bearing testimony [that] Yahshua [is YAH's] Messiah, [the ultimate sovereign authority infinitely higher than any Caesar].

John's Vision Begins With A Trumpet-Voice10

[Relive this experience with me, 😇:] I'm in [YAH's] Spirit on Adonai's [Judgment] Day. I hear behind me a great voice, like a trumpet.
Jesus was not resurrected on Sunday. The ‘Lord's Day’ is NOT a reference to Sunday. Rather, ‘The Lord's Day’ is a reference to John being transported into a vision of Judgment Day. Sunday is not, and never will be, the Sabbath. Sunday is still just the first work-day of the week, no matter what the Sun-worshippers think.

The trumpet-voice [blares YAH's declaration], [“I am Alpha & Omega, the first and the last…] What you see, write in a book. Send it to the 7 Ekklesiae [in Western Turkey]: to Ephesus, Smyrna {Myrrh-City}, Pergamos {Fort}, Thyatira {Daughter-City}, Sardis [Turkey], Philadelphia {City-Of-Brotherly-Love}, and Laodicea {Democracy-Land}.”
Laodicea = City of the People's Rights. "Alpha & Omega" is absent in many ancient manuscripts of Rev 1:11.

John Sees Yahshua Amidst A Giant Menorah12

I spin around, 😇, to see the voice who speaks [behind] me. I see 7 golden lampstands.
Menorahs.

In the midst of the 7 lampstands [stands Yahshua, a] man-like ‘Son of Adam.’ [He's] clothed with a robe down to His feet. A gold band surrounds his chest.
Robe = purity. Gold band = integrity of heart.

[Yahshua's] head and hair [shine] white like wool, white as snow, 😇. [Yahshua's] eyes [flash] like flames of fire!
Woolen hair implies an Afro. Presumably ‘head and hair’ means head-hair and other hair, such as arm-hair.

Yahshua's feet [glimmer, 😇,] like fine brass, as if burned in a furnace. Yahshua's voice [rushes] like the sound of many waters.
Burned brass is the color of African skin, suggesting that Jesus was darker and more African than generally assumed. Since Yahshua's foot-skin is burnt bronze, we assume his facial skin is also colored burnt bronze, like an African-American. Of course, Yahshua can shapeshift, as shown in the gospels' post-resurrection accounts.

[Yahshua] holds 7 stars in his right hand, 😇. Out of his mouth [flies] a sharp two-edged sword. His face radiates [blinding light] like the [full] strength of the sun shining [in my eyes]!

When I see [Yahshua], I fall at His feet like a dead man. He lays His right hand on me. [He] says, “Fear not. I am the First [resurrected man] and the Last, [that is, the ultimate, man].
Last = #2078 eschatos = uttermost. When Yahshua uses the title ‘Alpha And Omega,’ it's in a less absolute sense than when YHVH uses it to refer to himself. Yahshua is not the ‘prime mover.’ He is the ultimate human.

- I [Yahshua] am he who lives, yet was dead. See, 😇! I am the one [man] who lives for ages and eons, firmly [established by YAH]. I hold the keys of the Unseen [place of departed souls] and of death.
Hades (#86) does not mean ‘hell,’ as in ‘place of conscious eternal torment.’ Hades literally means ‘the Unseen’. Hades equates to Hebrew ‘Sheol.’ Yahshua died, whereas YHVH can never die. What we call reality is YHVH singing.

Write the things you've seen: what exists now, and the things which will later exist.

Here is the mystery [symbology] of the 7 stars [you saw] in my right hand, and the 7 golden lamp-stands: The 7 stars [symbolize] the angels of the 7 Ekklesiae. The 7 candlesticks you saw [symbolize] the 7 Ekklesiae [themselves].
The 7 messengers to the Ecclesia = the Out-Called [group]. Christianity is inherently separatist.
