Revelation 1:12-18

12Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me. When I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,

13and among the lampstands was one like the Son of Man, dressed in a robe and with a golden sash wrapped around his chest.

14The hair of his head was white as wool — white as snow  — and his eyes like a fiery flame.

15His feet were like fine bronze as it is fired in a furnace, and his voice like the sound of cascading waters.

16He had seven stars in his right hand; a sharp double-edged sword came from his mouth, and his face was shining like the sun at full strength.

17When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid. I am the First and the Last,

18and the Living One. I was dead, but look — I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.
