Revelation 1:10-19

10I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet

11saying, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

12And I turned to see the voice which spake with me. And having turned I saw seven golden candlesticks;

13and in the midst of the candlesticks one like unto a son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about at the breasts with a golden girdle.

14And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.

16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last,

18and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

19Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;
