And (A)he said to me, “(B)These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the (C)God of the spirits of the prophets, (D)sent His angel to show to His slaves the things which must soon take place.

“And behold, (E)I am coming quickly. (F)Blessed is he who keeps (G)the words of the prophecy of this book.”

(H)I, John, am the one who was hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, (I)I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. But (J)he *said to me, “[a]Do not do that! I am a (K)fellow slave with you and your brothers the prophets and with those who keep the words of (L)this book. Worship God!”

The Final Message: Come

10 And he *said to me, “(M)Do not seal up (N)the words of the prophecy of this book, (O)for the time is near. 11 (P)Let the one who does unrighteousness, still do unrighteousness; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still do righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”

Jesus Is Coming Soon

The angel said to me, “These words are faithful and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets,[a] sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

“And look: I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who holds on to the words of the prophecy of this book.”

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I bowed down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and also with those who hold on to the words of this book. Worship God!”

10 The angel also said to me:

Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near.
11 Let the one who is unjust continue to be unjust.
Let the one who is filthy continue to be filthy.
Let the one who is just continue to do what is just.
Let the one who is holy continue to be holy.
