For nothing hidden will not become manifest, and nothing covered will remain without being uncovered." We observe Do not tell lies In the sight of heaven Covered... uncovered	[1:11] 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.

(9) Jesus said, "Now the sower went out, took a handful (of seeds), and scattered them. Some fell on the road; the birds came and gathered them up. Others fell on the rock, did not take root in the soil, and did not produce ears. And others fell on thorns; they choked the seed(s) and worms ate them.

But when you become two, what will you do?" Heaven Alive... the living... alive The dead... pass away... pass away... die... dead The light	I fell at his feet as dead.

[1:19] Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; [1:20] The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Hell The living... alive Dead... death Stars... candlesticks... stars... candlesticks
(12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?" Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." To Jesus Depart from us Who is to be our leader? Wherever you are Righteous	[2:1] Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; [2:2] I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: [2:3] And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. [2:4] Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. [2:5] Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. [2:6] But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Unto the angel Walketh in the midst Apostles Thou hast left thy first love Evil
(13) Jesus said to his disciples, "Compare me to someone and tell me whom I am like ." Simon Peter said to him, "You are like a righteous angel." Matthew said to him, "You are like a wise philosopher." Thomas said to him, "Master, my mouth is wholly incapable of saying whom you are like." Jesus said, "I am not your master. Because you have drunk, you have become intoxicated from the bubbling spring which I have measured out." And he took him and withdrew and told him three things. When Thomas returned to his companions, they asked him, "What did Jesus say to you?" Thomas said to them, "If I tell you one of the things which he told me, you will pick up stones and throw them at me; a fire will come out of the stones and burn you up." Tell me Whom I am like a righteous angel A wise philosopher Incapable of saying whom you are like I am not your master You will pick up stones and throw them at me A fire will come out of the stones Burn you up	[2:7] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. [2:8] And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; [2:9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. [2:10] Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. [2:11] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. [2:12] And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; [2:13] I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. The Spirit saith The tree of life The angel of the church I know Blasphemy Them which say they are Jews, and are not Be thou faithful unto death... my faithful martyr, who was slain among you What the Spirit saith... saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges That ye may be tried... the second death
(14) Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits. When you go into any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what they will set before you, and heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but that which issues from your mouth - it is that which will defile you." Fast Eat Mouth	[2:14] But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. [2:15] So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. [2:16] Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. [2:17] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Eat Eat Mouth

[2:20] Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. The Son of God His eyes Sacrificed unto idols
(16) Jesus said, "Men think, perhaps, that it is peace which I have come to cast upon the world. They do not know that it is dissension which I have come to cast upon the earth: fire, sword, and war. For there will be five in a house: three will be against two, and two against three, the father against the son, and the son against the father. And they will stand solitary." Peace (making two into one) Dissension Fire, sword, and war I have come Father... father	[2:21] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. [2:22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. [2:23] And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. [2:24] But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. [2:25] But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. [2:26] And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: [2:27] And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. Fornication... adultery Great tribulation Kill Till I come Father

Heard No hand has touched The human mind	[2:28] And I will give him the morning star. [2:29] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. [3:1] And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. [3:2] Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. [3:3] Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Give Ear... Hear... heard Hold fast I know... know
(18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be." Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death." Tell us how our end will be The end Where the beginning is, there will the end be Take his place He will know the end Will not experience death	[3:4] Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

[3:7] And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; [3:8] I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. [3:9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. [3:10] Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, They shall walk with me in white\ He... shall be clothed in white raiment The key of David (The key to the kingdom) I have set before thee an open door Know that I have loved thee Will keep thee from the hour of temptation
(19) Jesus said, "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being. If you become my disciples and listen to my words, these stones will minister to you. For there are five trees for you in Paradise which remain undisturbed summer and winter and whose leaves do not fall. Whoever becomes acquainted with them will not experience death." Came into being... Came into being Become my disciples and listen to my words These stones will minister Paradise	which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. [3:11] Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

(20) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what the kingdom of heaven is like." He said to them, "It is like a mustard seed. It is the smallest of all seeds.

[3:14] And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, Heaven The faithful and true witness The creation of God
(21) Mary said to Jesus, "Whom are your disciples like?" He said, "They are like children who have settled in a field which is not theirs. When the owners of the field come, they will say, 'Let us have back our field.' They (will) undress in their presence in order to let them have back their field and to give it back to them. Therefore I say, if the owner of a house knows that the thief is coming, he will begin his vigil before he comes and will not let him dig through into his house of his domain to carry away his goods. You, then, be on your guard against the world. Arm yourselves with great strength lest the robbers find a way to come to you, for the difficulty which you expect will (surely) materialize. Let there be among you a man of understanding. When the grain ripened, he came quickly with his sickle in his hand and reaped it. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear." Whom are your disciples like? A field... the field... our field... their field Carry away his goods Let there be among you a man of understanding Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear	the beginning of the creation of God; [3:15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [3:16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [3:17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [3:18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [3:19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. [3:20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. [3:21] To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. [3:22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. The beginning The creation of God Increased with goods I counsel thee He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches
(22) Jesus saw infants being suckled. He said to his disciples, "These infants being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom." They said to him, "Shall we then, as children, enter the kingdom?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male not be male nor the female female; and when you fashion eyes in the place of an eye, and a hand in place of a hand, and a foot in place of a foot, and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom." Jesus saw infants The kingdom Enter the kingdom Other dualities made One The outside The inside Inside... outside The above Male Eyes A hand in place of a hand A likeness Enter the kingdom	[4:1] After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. [4:2] And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. [4:3] And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. [4:4] And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. [4:5] And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. [4:6] And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. [4:7] And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. [4:8] And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. [4:9] And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, [4:10] The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, I looked, and, behold... I will shew thee things... behold A throne was set in heaven... One sat on the throne Come up hither...come... a door was opened Day and night... before and behind Clothed in white raiment... on their heads Within In the midst of the throne, and round about the throne A rainbow A man Eyes... eyes Cast their crowns Like... like... like... like Round about the throne... out of the throne... before the throne... the throne... the throne... the throne

(24) His disciples said to him, "Show us the place where you are, since it is necessary for us to seek it." He said to them, "Whoever has ears, let him hear. There is light within a man of light, and he lights up the whole world. If he does not shine, he is darkness." Show us... where you are Seek it Whoever... let him hear He is darkness	for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. [5:1] And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. [5:2] And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? [5:3] And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. [5:4] And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. Thou hast created all things... for thy pleasure I saw... a book A strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice No man was found worthy
(25) Jesus said, "Love your brother like your soul, guard him like the pupil of your eye." Love your brother The pupil of your eye	[5:5] And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. One of the elders Weep not: behold
(26) Jesus said, "You see the mote in your brother's eye, but you do not see the beam in your own eye.

[5:7] And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. [5:8] And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. [5:9] And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, Seven eyes Thou wast slain
(27) <Jesus said,> "If you do not fast as regards the world, you will not find the kingdom. If you do not observe the Sabbath as a Sabbath, you will not see the father." The world The kingdom Observe the Sabbath	and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; [5:10] And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. [5:11] And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation Made us... kings... and we shall reign on the earth I beheld... the voice of many angels round about the throne
(28) Jesus said, "I took my place in the midst of the world, and I appeared to them in flesh. I found all of them intoxicated; I found none of them thirsty. And my soul became afflicted for the sons of men, because they are blind in their hearts and do not have sight; for empty they came into the world, and empty too they seek to leave the world. But for the moment they are intoxicated. When they shake off their wine, then they will repent." I took my place... in flesh I found all of them intoxicated My soul... afflicted for the sons of men Shake off their wine	[5:12] Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. [5:13] And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. [5:14] And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. [6:1] And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain And every creature which... are in the sea The Lamb The noise of thunder
(29) Jesus said, "If the flesh came into being because of spirit, it is a wonder. But if spirit came into being because of the body, it is a wonder of wonders. Indeed, I am amazed at how this great wealth has made its home in this poverty." Came into being Came into being The body This poverty This great wealth	Come and see. [6:2] And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

[6:5] And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. [6:6] And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. [6:7] And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. Come and see Come and see... Come and see The earth A measure of wheat for a penny The oil and the wine
(30) Jesus said, "Where there are three gods, they are gods. Where there are two or one, I am with him." Three gods I am with him	[6:8] And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. [6:9] And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [6:10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? Death, and Hell followed with him The souls of them that were slain... cried... saying... O Lord
(31) Jesus said, "No prophet is accepted in his own village; no physician heals those who know him." No prophet is accepted	[6:11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

[9:13] And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, [9:14] Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. [9:15] And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

The rest of the men... were... killed... Men killed Issued Repented... repented... sorceries
(50) Jesus said, "If they say to you, 'Where did you come from?', say to them, 'We came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord and established itself and became manifest through their image.' If they say to you, 'Is it you?', say, 'We are its children, we are the elect of the living father.' If they ask you, 'What is the sign of your father in you?', say to them, 'It is movement and repose.'" Say... say... say.... ask The light What is the sign	[10:1] And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: [10:2] And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, [10:3] And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.

Earth... heaven... time no longer Heaven... earth... the mystery of God should be finished
(52) His disciples said to him, "Twenty-four prophets spoke in Israel, and all of them spoke in you." He said to them, "You have omitted the one living in your presence and have spoken (only) of the dead." Prophets spoke Spoken (only) of the dead	[10:8] And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. [10:9] And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey. [10:10] And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. [10:11] And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings. [11:1] And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. [11:2] But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. I heard from heaven... prophesy again Them that worship therein... the temple

Rather, the true circumcision in spirit has become completely profitable." Beneficial or not Circumcision...circumcision	[11:3] And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. [11:4] These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. [11:5] And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. Two olive trees... two candlesticks Any man will hurt... any man will hurt
(54) Jesus said, "Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of heaven."

The master said to his servant, 'Go outside to the streets and bring back those whom you happen to meet, so that they may dine.' Businessmen and merchants will not enter the places of my father." Businessmen and merchants... merchants	13:10] He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. [13:11] And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. [13:12] And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. [13:13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [13:14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. [13:15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. [13:16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [13:17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. [13:18] Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Another beast... the first beast... the beast... an image to the beast... the beast... the image of the beast... the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number... of the beast
(65) He said, "There was a good man who owned a vineyard. He leased it to tenant farmers so that they might work it and he might collect the produce from them. He sent his servant so that the tenants might give him the produce of the vineyard. They seized his servant and beat him, all but killing him. The servant went back and told his master. The master said, 'Perhaps he did not recognize them.' He sent another servant. The tenants beat this one as well. Then the owner sent his son and said, 'Perhaps they will show respect to my son.' Because the tenants knew that it was he who was the heir to the vineyard, they seized him and killed him. Let him who has ears hear." A good man who owned a vineyard He leased it to tenant farmers Another servant... the heir to the vineyard	[14:1] And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

[15:4] Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.

He turned to his disciples and said to them, "I am not a divider, am I?" Tell my brothers to divide I am not a divider, am I	[16:1] And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. [16:2] And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image. [16:3] And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea. [16:4] And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
