Ch1 v1-2
A revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him so that he could tell his servants what is now to take place very soon; he sent his angel to make it known to his servant John, (2)and John has borne witness to the Word of God and to the witness of Jesus Christ, everything that he saw.
Ch2 v8-9
Write to the angel of the church in Smyrna and say, "Here is the message of the First and the Last, who was dead and has come to life again: I know your hardships and your poverty, and - though you are rich - the slander of the people who falsely claim to be Jews but are really members of the synagogue of satan.
Ch2 v12-13
Write to the angel of the church in Pergamum and say, "Here is the message of the one who has the sharp sword, double-edged: I know where you live in the place where satan is enthroned and that you still hold firmly to my name , and did not disown your faith in me even when my faithful witness, Antipas, was killed among you, where satan lives.
Ch2 v17
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: to those who prove victorious I will give some hidden manna and a white stone, and a new name written on it, known only to the person who receives it.
ch3 v5
Anyone who proves victorious will be dressed, like these, in white robes; I shall not blot that name out of the book of life, but acknowledge it in the presence of my Father and his angels.
ch3 v15-16
I know about your activities: how you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were one or the other, but since you are neither hot nor cold, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth.
ch3 v18
I warn you, buy from me the gold that has been tested in the fire to make you truly rich, and white robes to clothe you and hide your shameful nakedness, and ointment to put on your eyes to enable you to see.
ch3 v21
Anyone who proves victorious I will allow to share my throne, just as I have myself overcome and have taken my seat with my Father on his throne
ch4 v4
Round the throne in a circle were twenty-four thrones, and on them twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white robes with golden crowns on their heads.
ch4 v6-8
In front of the throne was a sea as transparent as crystal. In the middle of the throne and around it, were four living creatures all studded with eyes, in front and behind. The first living creature was like a lion, the second like a bull, the third living creature had a human face, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was studded with eyes all the way round as well as inside; and day and night they never stopped singing:
Holy, Holy, Holy
is the Lord God, the Almighty;
who was, and is and is to come.'
ch5 v2-5
Then I saw a powerful angel who called with a loud voice, 'Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?' But there was no one, in heaven or on the earth or under the earth, who was able to open the scroll and read it. I wept bitterly because nobody could be found to open the scroll and read it, but one of the elders said to me, 'Do not weep. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed, and so he will open the scroll and its seven seals.'
ch5 v6-8
Then I saw, in the middle of the throne with its four living creatures and the circle of the elders, a Lamb standing that seemed to have been sacrificed; it had seven horns, and it had seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits that God has sent out over the whole world. The Lamb came forward to take the scroll from the right hand of the One sitting on the throne, and when he took it, the four living creatures prostrated themselves before him and with them the twenty-four elders; each one of them was holding a harp and had a golden bowl full of incense which are the prayers of the saints.
ch5 v9-10
They sand a new hymn:
You are worthy to take the scroll
and to break its seals,
because you were sacrificed,
and with your blood
you bought people for God
of every race, language, people and nation
and made them
a line of kinds and priests for God,
to rule the world.
ch5 v12
loudly chanting:
Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing.
ch6 v2
Immediately I saw a white horse appear, and its rider was holding a bow; he was given a victor's crown and he went away, to go from victory to victory.
ch8 v13
In my vision, I heard an eagle, calling aloud as it flew high overhead, 'Disaster, disaster, disaster, on all of the people on earth at the sound of the other three trumpets which the three angels have yet to blow!'
ch9 v2-6
When he unlocked the shaft of the Abyss, and out of the smoke dropped locusts onto the earth: they were given the powers that scorpions have on the earth: they were forbidden to harm any fields or crops or trees and told to attack only those people who were without God's seal on their foreheads. They were not to kill them, but to give them anguish for five months, and the anguish was to be the anguish of a scorpion's sting.
ch9 v7
These locusts looked like horses armoured for battle; they had what looked like gold crowns on their heads, and their faces looked human,
...the third living creature had a human face, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. ...
ch9 v11
As their leader they had their emperor, the angel of the Abyss whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon.
ch10 v11
Then I was told, 'You are to prophecy again, this time against many different nations and countries and languages and kings.'
ch12 v7-10
And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven. The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or satan, who had led all the world astray, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him. Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and night before our God, has been brought down.
Then the firth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from heaven onto the earth, and the angel was given the key to the shaft leading down to the Abyss.
ch13 v15-18
It was allowed to breathe life into this statue, so that the statue of the beast was able to speak, and to have anyone who refused to worship the statue of the beast put to death. It compelled everyone - small and great alike, rich and poor, slave and citizen - to be branded on the right hand or on the forehead, and made it illegal for anyone to buy or sell anything unless he had been branded with the name of the beast or with the number of its name. There is need for shrewdness here: anyone clever may interpret the number of the beast: it is the number of a human being, the number 666.
Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: to those who prove victorious I will give some hidden manna and a white stone, and a new name written on it, known only to the person who receives it.
...they were forbidden to harm any fields or crops or trees and told to attack only those people who were without God's seal on their foreheads. ...
ch14 v1
Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred and fourty-four thousand people, all with his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads.
ch14 v4
These are the sons who have kept their virginity and not been defiled with women; the follow the Lamb wherever he goes, they, out of all people, have been redeemed to be the first fruits for God and for the Lamb.
ch14 v9-10
A third angel followed, shouting aloud, 'All those who who worship the beast and his statue, or have had themselves branded on the hand or forehead, will be made to drink the wine of God's fury which is ready, undiluted, in his cup of retribution; in fire and brimstone they will be tortured in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb
ch15 v1
And I saw in heaven another sign, great and wonderful: seven angels were bringing the seven plagues that are the last of all, because they exhaust the anger of God
ch16 v5-6
Then I heard the angel of water say, 'You are the Upright One, He who is, He who was, the Holy One, for giving this verdict: they spilt the blood of the saints and the prophets, and blood is what you have given them to drink; it is what they deserve.'
ch17 v9
The beast you have seen was once alive and is alive no longer; it is yet to come up from the Abyss, but only to go to its destruction. And the people of the world, whose names have not been written since the beginning of the world in the book of life, will be astonished when they see how the beast was once alive and is alive no longer, and is still to come.
ch19 v11-14
And now I saw heaven open, and a white horse appear; its rider was called Trustworthy and True; in uprightness he judges and makes war. His eyes were flames of fire, and he was crowned with many coronets; the name written on him was known only to himself, his cloak was soaked in blood. He is known by the name, The Word of God. Behind him, dressed in linen of dazzling white, rode the armies of heaven on white horses.
ch19 v11-14

Then I saw the beast, with all the kinds of the earth and their armies, gathered together to fight the Rider and his army
ch20 v6-10
Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection; the second death has no power over them but the will be priests of God and of Christ and reign with him for a thousand years. When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his proson and will come out to lead astray all the nations in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, and mobilise them for war, his armies being as many as the sands of the sea. They came swarming over the entire country and besieged the camp of the saints, which is the beloved city. But fire rained down on them from heaven and consumed them. Then the devil, who led them astray, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their torture will not come to an end, day or night, for ever and ever.
ch21 v7
anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son.
ch21 v8
But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sorts of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.
ch22 v3
The curse of destruction will be abolished. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city; his servants will worship him,
ch22 v5
And night will be abolished; they will not need lamplight or sunlight because the Lord God will be shining on them. They will reign for ever and ever.
and day and night they never stopped singing
ch22 v8-9
I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I had heard and seen them all, I knelt at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me, to worship him; but he said, 'Do no such thing: I am your fellow-servant and the fellow-servant of your brothers and the prophets and those who keep the message of this book. God alone you must worship.'

ch22 v11
Meanwhile let the sinner continue sinning, and the unclean continue to be unclean; let the upright continue in his uprightness, and those who are holy continue to be holy.
Ephesians ch6 v10-13
Finally, grow strong in the Lord, with the strength of his power. Put on the full armour of God so as to be able to resist the devil's tactics. For it is not against human enemies that we have to struggle, but against the principalities and the ruling forces who are masters of the darkness in this world, the spirits of evil in the heavens. That is why you must take up all God's armour, or you will not be able to put up any resistance on the evil day, or stand your ground even though you exert yourselves to the full.
ch22 v14
Blessed are those who will have washed their robes clean, so that they will have the right to feed on the tree of life and can come through the gates into the city.
ch22 v16
I, Jesus have sent my angel to attest these things to you for the sake of the churches. I am the sprig from the root of David and the bright star of the morning.
ch5 v2-5
Then I saw a powerful angel who called with a loud voice, 'Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?' But there was no one, in heaven or on the earth or under the earth, who was able to open the scroll and read it. I wept bitterly because nobody could be found to open the scroll and read it, but one of the elders said to me, 'Do not weep. Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed, and so he will open the scroll and its seven seals.'
ch22 v18-19
This is my solemn attestation to all who hear the prophecies in this book: if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him every plague mentioned in the book; if anyone cuts anything out of the prophecies in this book, God will cut off his share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are described in the book.
Now, apparently you can blaspheme the father or God, but if you blasphemy the holy spirit you are done for, if I remember the bible correctly. That makes no sense. That is like saying the spirit is more important than the creator of said spirit.
Now, this seems rather paganish.
What if Jesus was the son of satan, or was a devil worshipper, and was using old school pre-Christian/Judaic thought and usurping energy from God, and giving it to himself and satan, and giving God only a third of what was rightfully his, in order to amass spiritual energy so he and satan could take over heaven?
1 Corinthians ch3 v16-17
Do you not realise that you are a temple of God and the Spirit of God living in you? If anybody should destroy the temple of God, God will destroy that person, because God's temple is holy; and you are that temple.
Matthew ch12 v31-32
And so I tell you, every human sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, but blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And anyone who says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but no one who speaks against the Holy Spirit will be forgiven either in this world or in the next.
