The Reign of Christ

Revelation 1:1–8 (KJV 1900)

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: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 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.

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; 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, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

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. 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.

The 7 Spirits of God

Isaiah

King James Version (Chapter 11)

11

And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse,

And a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

2  And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,

The spirit of wisdom and understanding,

The spirit of counsel and might,

The spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;

3  And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD:

And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes,

Neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

4  But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, And reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.

5  And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, And faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

Amplified Bible Chapter 6

18 And I will be a Father to you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty. [Isa. 43:6

King James Version Chapter 43

I will say to qthe north, Give up;

And to the south, Keep not back:

Bring rmy sons from far,

And rmy daughters from the ends of the earth;

7  Even every one sthat is called by my name:

For asI have created him for my glory,

aI have formed him; yea, uI have made him.
