Thought For Today

The Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:10 I had left my body and was in the Presence of God in the Spirit on the Lord's day, which is the day that this world as we know it will end, the day that God will make his presence known to every living creature on earth. I heard from behind me a loud voice, as loud as a trumpet being blown.

The Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 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 Eph'-e-sus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Per'-ga-mos, and unto Thy-a-ti'-ra, and unto Sar'-dis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto La-od-i-ce'-a.

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:11 And the loud voice was saying: I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, I am the First and the Last. Now, everything you see I want you to write it down and put it in a book, And send the book to the seven churches in Asia. The seven churches are: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.

The Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned I saw seven golden candlesticks.

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:12 And I turned around to see who was speaking with such a loud voice, and once I had turned around I saw the seven churches in Asia.

The Holy Bible King James version all together:

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 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 Eph'-e-sus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Per'-ga-mos, and unto Thy-a-ti'-ra, and unto Sar'-dis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto La-od-i-ce'-a. And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned I saw seven golden candlesticks.

My interpretation all together:

I had left my body and was in the Presence of God in the Spirit on the Lord's day, which is the day that this world as we know it will end, the day that God will make his presence known to every living creature on earth. I heard from behind me a loud voice, as loud as a trumpet being blown. And the loud voice was saying: I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, I am the First and the Last. Now, everything you see I want you to write it down and put it in a book, And send the book to the seven churches in Asia. The seven churches are: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. And I turned around to see who was speaking with such a loud voice, and once I had turned around I saw the seven churches in Asia.
