John’s Vision of the Risen Lord

9I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation, kingdom, and perseverance in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos because of God's word and the testimony about Jesus.G1473G2491G3588G2532G5216G80G2532G4791G1722G2347G2532G1722G932G2532G5281G2424G5547G1096G1722G3520G2564G3963G1223G3056G2316G2532G1223G3141G2424G554710I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpetG1096G1722G4151G1722G2960G2250G2532G191G3694G3450G3173G5456G5613G453611saying, "Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."G3004G1473G1510G1G2532G5598G4413G2532G2078G2532G3739G991G1125G1519G975G2532G3992G2033G1577G3588G1722G773G1519G2181G2532G1519G4667G2532G1519G4010G2532G1519G2363G2532G1519G4554G2532G1519G5359G2532G1519G299312I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. When I turned I saw seven gold lampstands,G2532G1994G991G5456G3748G2980G3326G1700G2532G1994G1492G2033G5552G308713and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, and with a gold sash wrapped around His chest.G2532G1722G3319G2033G3087G3664G5207G444G1746G4158G2532G4024G4314G3149G5552G222314His head and hair were white like wool— white as snow, His eyes like a fiery flame,G1161G846G2776G2532G2359G3022G5616G2053G3022G5613G5510G2532G846G3788G5613G5395G444215His feet like fine bronze fired in a furnace, and His voice like the sound of cascading waters.G2532G846G4228G3664G5474G5613G4448G1722G2575G2532G846G5456G5613G5456G4183G520416In His right hand He had seven stars; from His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was shining like the sun at midday.G2532G2192G1722G846G1188G5495G2033G792G2532G1537G846G4750G1607G3691G1366G4501G2532G846G3799G5613G2246G5316G1722G846G141117When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. He laid His right hand on me, and said, "Don't be afraid! I am the First and the Last,G2532G3753G1492G846G4098G4314G846G4228G5613G3498G2532G2007G846G1188G5495G1909G1691G3004G3427G5399G3361G1473G1510G4413G2532G207818and the Living One. I was dead, but look— I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.G2532G2198G2532G1096G3498G2532G2400G1510G2198G1519G165G165G281G2532G2192G2807G86G2532G228819Therefore write what you have seen, what is, and what will take place after this.G1125G3739G1492G2532G3739G1526G2532G3739G3195G1096G3326G502320The secret of the seven stars you saw in My right hand, and of the seven gold lampstands, is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.G3466G2033G792G3739G1492G1909G3450G1188G2532G2033G5552G3087G2033G792G1526G32G2033G1577G2532G2033G3087G3739G1492G1526G2033G1577
