‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

letter: “This message is from him who is the First and Last, who was dead and then came back to life. “I know how much you suffer for the Lord, and I know all about your poverty (but you have heavenly riches!).
