Revelation 1:17-19

17When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead person. Then he put his right hand on me, and he said to me, ‘Do not be afraid! I am the one who is the first and also the last.

18I am the one who always lives. I died once. But look! Now I am alive and I will be alive for ever. I have authority over death and over Hades, the place for dead people.

19So write down the things that you have seen. Write about what you see that is happening now. Also write about the things that will happen later.
