Thus saith the Lord your God, even Jesus Christ, the Great I ^aAm, Alpha and Omega, the beginning ^band the end, the same ^cwhich looked upon the wide ^dexpanse of eternity, and all the seraphic hosts ^eof heaven, before ^fthe world was made;

 2 The same which ^aknoweth all things, for ^ball things are ^cpresent before mine eyes;

 3 I am the same which ^aspake, and the world was made, and all things came by me.

 4 I am the same which have taken the ^aZion of ^bEnoch into mine own bosom; and verily, I say, even as many as have ^cbelieved in my name, for I am Christ, and in mine own name, by the virtue of the ^dblood which I have spilt, have I pleaded before the Father for them.

 5 But behold, the residue of the ^awicked have I kept in ^bchains of darkness until the ^cjudgment of the great day, which shall come at the end of the earth;

 6 And even so will I cause the wicked to be kept, that will not hear my voice but ^aharden their hearts, and wo, wo, wo, is their doom.

 7 But behold, verily, verily, I say unto you that mine ^aeyes are upon you. I am in your ^bmidst and ye cannot ^csee me;

 8 But the day soon cometh that ye shall ^asee me, and know that I am; for the ^bveil of darkness shall soon be rent, and he that is not ^cpurified shall not ^dabide the day.

 9 Wherefore, gird up your loins and be prepared. Behold, the ^akingdom is yours, and the enemy shall not overcome.

 10 Verily I say unto you, ye are ^aclean, but not all; and there is none else with whom I am well ^bpleased;
