Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:4 John is addressing, or speaking to the seven churches in Asia. John speaks grace and peace to the seven churches from God the Father; and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne, these seven Spirits are the seven angels that John is told to write these things to. You will hear more about these angels as we go deeper into the book of Revelation.

Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 1:5 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,

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:5 John also speaks grace, and peace to the seven churches in Asia from Jesus Christ the Lord. Jesus Christ is the faithful witness of God the Father, and he is also the first that God the Father ressurected from the dead and the first to recieve the new glorified body, that all children of God will recieve on rapture day. Jesus is also the Prince of the kings of the earth, and he will be taking his rightful place as the King of kings in 1007 years after rapture day. And grace, and peace to Jesus Christ the Lord that loved us so much that he shed his blood so that our sins could be forgiven us.

Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever A-men'.

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:6 Jesus has also made us kings, and priests unto him, and unto his Father which is in heaven, To Jesus be glory and supreme authority, or complete control for ever and ever A-men'.
