I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet saying, Write what you are seeing 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. And I turned to see the voice which was speaking with me; and having turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; read more.
and in the midst of the candlesticks one like the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to his feet, and girded about the breast with a golden girdle. And his head and his hairs were as wool, white as snow; and his eyes were like a flame of fire; and his feet were like brass, as having been burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters, and having in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth is going forth a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance like the sun shines in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man; and he laid his right hand on me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last: the living one, and I was dead; and, behold, I am alive unto the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which are about to take place after these; and the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven golden candlesticks are the seven churches.
