Revelation 1:18-20

18the living one. I was dead, but now I am alive forever. I have the keys of death and hell.

19Therefore, write down what you have seen, what is, and what is going to happen after these things.

20The hidden meaning of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches.
