Blessed is
the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who
hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
(Revelation 1:3 ESV)
And I heard
a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the
Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from
their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
(Revelation 14:13 ESV)
(“Behold, I
am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his
garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!”)
(Revelation 16:15 ESV)
And the
angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the
marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of
God.”
(Revelation 19:9 ESV)
Blessed and
holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second
death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they
will reign with him for a thousand years.
(Revelation 20:6 ESV)
“And
behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the
prophecy of this book.”

those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life
and that they may enter the city by the gates.
(Revelation 22:14 ESV)
Nice, Paul. I never thought of Revelation as having Beatitudes, but there they are. And what a blessing! Pia
