|19| These [men] are the ones causing division, worldly men, not having the Ruach Hakodesh.
|20| But you, Chaverim, build yourselves up on what is kodesh kodeshim (most holy) of yours,
your (correct, Orthodox Jewish) Emunah (Faith), the Emunah of the true Dat HaYehudit,
davening in the Ruach Hakodesh.
|21| Keep yourselves in the Ahavas Hashem, awaiting the rachamim of Rebbe, Melech
HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua unto Chayyei Olam.
|22| To those who are wavering, show rachamim; others, deliver, snatching them out of the Eish
[Olam, YESHAYAH 66:24].
|23| On others, have rachamim mixed with yir'at Shomayim, hating even the undergarment
defiled by corrupt human nature.
|24| Now to the One who is able to stand shomer over you, to make you moineia (prevented) from falling, and to set you unblemished in the presence of his Shechinah, with sason rav (much
rejoicing),
|25| to HaElohim HaYachid Moshieinu (to the only G-d our Savior), through Rebbe Melech
HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua, be HaKavod (Glory) and HaGedulah (Greatness) and
HaMemshalah (Rule) and HaGevurah (Might) Mei-Olam V'ad Atah V'ad Olemei Olamim
(before all time, now, and forever.) Omein.

§PEREK ALEPH (CHAPTER ONE)
INTRODUCTION AND SALUTATION: THE RAZ OF THE SHEVA HAKEHILLOT AND
THE RAZ OF THE SHEVAT HARUCHOT WHICH ARE BEFORE THE MERKAVAH
CHARIOT THRONE IN SHOMAYIM
The Hisgalus [Revelation, Appearance, Exposure of what is Nistar (Hidden), Sod (Secret),
Raz (Mystery)] of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua which Hashem gave to him to
show to his mesharetim (servants, klei kodesh, ministers) MAH DI LEHEVE ("what will
happen," DANIEL 2:28f), the things which are destined to take place, and speedily; Rebbe,
Melech HaMoshiach made it known by sending his malach (angel) to his mesharet (servant, keli
kodesh, minister), Yochanan. [AMOS 3:7]
|2| Yochanan gave solemn edut (testimony) to the Dvar Hashem and to the edut of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, even to all that Yochanan saw.
|3| Ashrey (Blessed/Happy) is the one reading and the ones hearing the divrei hanevu'ah (words
of [this] prophecy) and remaining shomer regarding what is written in it, for karov (near) is
HaYom [the time of crisis and the events related to the Bias HaMoshiach].
|4| Yochanan to the sheva (seven) hakehillot (congregations) in Asia: Chen v'Chesed Hashem to
you and Shalom from the One who is [SHEMOT 3:14], who was, and who is to come
[YESHAYAH 41:4], and from the shevat haruchot (seven archangels) which are before
Hashem's Kes (Throne) [merkavah chariot throne in Shomayim, YECHEZKEL 1:4-28].
|5| And from Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the eidus hane'eman (faithful witness), the BECHOR
(Firstborn, TEHILLIM 89:28 [27]) of the Mesim and the Nagid, ELYON L'MALKHEI A'RETZ
("Leader, Most exalted of Kings of the earth," TEHILLIM 89:27).
OUR NEFASHOT CANNOT BE REDEEMED WITH THE PIDYON (RANSOM) OF MONEY
(TEHILLIM 49:9); HOWEVER, MOSHIACH ANNOUNCED A MESSIANIC REDEMPTION
FROM SIN (LK 4:18; YESHAYAH 61:1) AND A YEAR OF THE L-RD'S FAVOR, THE L-
RD'S SHNAT HAYOVEL (YEAR OF JUBILEE, VAYIKRA 25:50-51) WHERE
POSSESSIONS REVERTED TO THEIR ORIGINAL OWNER.; SINCE OUR SINS HAVE
SEPARATED US FROM G-D (YESHAYAH 59:2; 53:6), WE MUST BE REDEEMED TO HIS
POSSESSION; YESHAYAH 53 SHOWS THAT MOSHIACH HAS PURCHASED OUR
REDEMPTION (REDEMPTION MEANS FREEDOM FROM SOME EVIL BY MEANS OF
PAYMENT); MOSHIACH IS THE GO'EL WHO PURCHASED OUR REDEMPTION FROM
SIN'S POWER AND WAGES, WHICH IS THE SENTENCE OF DEATH, AND THIS
DELIVERANCE MOSHIACH PURCHASED WITH THE KORBAN OF HIS NEFESH
(YESHAYAH 53:10-12), WHICH BECAME ALSO A "KOFER" (RANSOM) PAYMENT TO
HASHEM FOR OUR REDEMPTION; MOSHIACH TOOK OUR CURSE FOR US,
DEVARIM 21:23;27:26; KOHELET 7:20; VAYIKRA 17:11; YESHAYAH 53:10-12); AND
THERE WAS GREAT COST TO HASHEM SO THAT THE CONDEMNED SLAVES OF
SIN, NOW BELONGING TO MOSHIACH, COULD GO FREE; AT THE EXODUS FROM
EGYPT IT COST UNTOLD MULTITUDES OF LAMBS, AND AT THE EXODUS OF THE
BRIT CHADASHA FROM YERUSHALAYIM, IT COST ONE LAMB (YESHAYAH 53:7),
MOSHIACH; REBBE, MELECH HAMOSHIACH PURCHASED FOR US AND AS OUR
GO'EL BOUGHT BACK THE GLORY ADAM FORFEITED WHEN HE FELL
To the One who has ahavah for us and has freed us [from the Golus of, YESHAYAH 59:2; 53:3]
peyshaeinu [our transgressions, YESHAYAH 53:5] by [Geulah redemption through the kofer
pedut ransom korban of his nefesh (YESHAYAH 53:10) in the kapporah atonement of] the dahm
of him, [TEHILLIM 130:8; YESHAYAH 40:2; TEHILLIM 89:38; YIRMEYAH 42:5;
YESHAYAH 55:4; BERESHIT 22:8; SHEMOT 12:13; YESHAYAH 53:7; VAYIKRA 17:11]
|6| and made us a Malchut (Kingdom), a Mamlekhet kohanim (a Kingdom of priests, SHEMOT
19:6), kohanim doing avodas kodesh sherut to his Elohim HaAv, lo hakavod v'hagevurah l'olmey
olamim. Omein (to him be glory and powerful dominion forever and ever. Omein). [SHEMOT
19:6; 23:22; YESHAYAH 61:6]
|7| Hinei! Hu habah (He comes) with HA'ANANIM (glory clouds) and kol ayin (every eye) will
see him, even the ones who PIERCED HIM, and all the mishpachot (families) of ha'aretz will
MOURN for Him. Ken, even so. Omein. [DANIEL 7:13; ZECHARYAH 12:10f; BERESHIT
12:3;28:14]
|8| Ani Hu the Alef and the Tav, says Hashem Adonoi, the One who is and the One who was and
the One coming, Adonoi Tzivos (L-rd of armies). [SHEMOT 3:14; YESHAYAH 41:4; AMOS 3:13; 4:13 TARGUM HA-SHIVIM]
A CHAZON (CHABAKUK 2:2) OF THE MOSHIACH AND THE RAZ OF THE MENOROT
AND THE KOKHAVIM
|9| I, Yochanan, your Ach b'Moshiach and your fellow partaker taking the chelek (inheritance) in
the tzarah (trouble, Mt 24:15f), the Chevlai Moshiach (birthpangs of Moshiach), and the Malchut
(Kingdom) and the savlanut (patient endurance) in Moshiach--I was on the island called Patmos
because of the Dvar Hashem and the eidus (witness) of [Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] Yehoshua.
[SHEMOT 20:18; DANIEL 8:1]
|10| I was in the Ruach Hakodesh on Yom HaAdon, and I heard behind me a kol gadol (a loud
voice), like the blast of a shofar, [YECHEZKEL 3:12; SHEMOT 19:16]
|11| saying, What you see [in the chazon], write in a sefer and send it to the sheva (seven)
HaKehillot, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to
Philadelphia and to Laodicea. [YESHAYAH 30:8]
|12| Then I turned to see the kol which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw sheva
menorot zahav (seven golden menorahs). [ZECHARYAH 4:2; SHEMOT 25:31-40]
|13| And in the midst of the menorot stood One like the Ben HaAdam [DANIEL 7:13-14;
YECHEZKEL 1:26], having been clothed in a Beketch (long coat) reaching to the feet and
having been wrapped around at the chest with a golden gartel. [DANIEL 7:13; YECHEZKEL
