“ I am Israel’s King. I set them free. I am the Lord who rules over all. So listen to what I am saying. I am the first and the last. I am the one and only God.

I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the First and the Last. I am the Beginning and the End.

“ Family of Jacob, listen to me. People of Israel, pay attention. I have chosen you. I am the first and the last. I am the Lord.

Gabriel came close to where I was standing. I was terrified and fell down flat with my face toward the ground. Here is what he said to me.“ Son of man, I want you to understand the vision. It’s about the time of the end.”While he was speaking to me, I was sound asleep. I lay with my face on the ground. Then he touched me. He raised me to my feet.

Who has made that happen? Who has carried it out? Who has created all the people who have ever lived? I, the Lord, have done it. I was with the first of them. And I will be with the last of them.”

“ Here is what I command you to write to the church in Smyrna. Here are the words of Jesus, who is the First and the Last. He is the one who died and came to life again. He says,

So I was left alone as I was watching this great vision. I felt very weak. My face turned as pale as death. And I was helpless.Then I heard the man speak. As I listened to him, I fell sound asleep. My face was toward the ground.A hand touched me. It pulled me up on my hands and knees. I began to tremble with fear.

The glow around him looked like a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day. That’s what the glory of the Lord looked like. When I saw it, I fell with my face toward the ground. Then I heard the voice of someone speaking.

“ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord God.“ I am the God who is, and who was, and who will come. I am the Mighty One.”

How can I talk with you? My strength is gone. In fact, I can hardly breathe.”The one who looked like a man touched me again. He gave me strength.“ Do not be afraid,” he said.“ You are highly respected. May peace be with you! Be strong now. Be strong.” When he spoke to me, I became stronger. I said,“ Speak, my master. You have given me strength.”

He continued,“ Do not be afraid, Daniel. You decided to get more understanding. You made yourself humble as you worshiped your God. Since the first day you did those things, your words were heard. I have come to give you an answer.

There in front of them his appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun. His clothes became as white as the light.Just then Moses and Elijah appeared in front of them. Moses and Elijah were talking with Jesus.Peter said to Jesus,“ Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters. One will be for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them. A voice from the cloud said,“ This is my Son, and I love him. I am very pleased with him. Listen to him!”When the disciples heard this, they were terrified. They fell with their faces to the ground.But Jesus came and touched them.“ Get up,” he said.“ Don’t be afraid.”

They entered the tomb. As they did, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe. He was sitting on the right side. They were alarmed.“ Don’t be alarmed,” he said.“ You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. But he has risen! He is not here! See the place where they had put him.

So do not be afraid. I am with you. Do not be terrified. I am your God. I will make you strong and help you. I will hold you safe in my hands. I always do what is right.

While he was telling me these things, I bowed with my face toward the ground. I wasn’t able to speak.

They were surprised and terrified. They thought they were seeing a ghost.Jesus said to them,“ Why are you troubled? Why do you have doubts in your minds?Look at my hands and my feet. It’s really me! Touch me and see. A ghost does not have a body or bones. But you can see that I do.”

The voice said,“ Write on a scroll what you see. Send it to the seven churches in Asia Minor. They are Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”

Some time later, Abram had a vision. The Lord said to him,“ Abram, do not be afraid. I am like a shield to you. I am your very great reward.”

Peter turned around. He saw that the disciple Jesus loved was following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper. He had said,“ Lord, who is going to hand you over to your enemies?”

Moses answered the people. He said,“ Don’t be afraid. Stand firm. You will see how the Lord will save you today. Do you see those Egyptians? You will never see them again.

The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

Moses said to the people,“ Don’t be afraid. God has come to test you. He wants you to have respect for him. That will keep you from sinning.”

I listened and my heart pounded. My lips trembled at the sound. My bones seemed to rot. And my legs shook. But I will be patient. I’ll wait for the day of trouble to come on Babylon. It’s the nation that is attacking us.

The disciple Jesus loved was next to him at the table.
