Revelation 1:9-20 - John's Vision Of The Son Of Man

⁹ I John, and your brother, and partaker in pressure, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, I was in the island called Patmos, for the sake of the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. ¹⁰ I was in the Spirit In the day pertaining to the Lord, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, saying, ¹¹ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send to the seven churches which in Asia; to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamos, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.

¹² And I turned back to see the voice which spake with me. And having turned back, I saw seven gold chandeliers; ¹³ And in the midst of the seven chandeliers one like to the Son of man, dressed in a garment descending to the feet, and girded at the breast with a golden girdle. ¹⁴ And his head and hairs white as white wool, as snow, and his eyes as a flame of fire; ¹⁵ And his feet as brass of Lebanon, as refined by fire in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters. ¹⁶ And having in his right hand seven stars: and going out of his mouth a sharp two-mouthed sword: and his sight as the sun shines in his power.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he put his right hand upon me, saying to me, Be not afraid;I am the the first and the last: ¹⁸ And he living, and I was dead; and, behold, I am living for the times of times, Amen; and have the keys of hades and of death. ¹⁹ Write the things thou hast seen, and which are, and which are about to be after these things; ²⁰ The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven golden chandeliers. The seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches: and the seven chandeliers which thou sawest are the seven churches.
