Vision of the Son of Man

9I, John, am your brother and your partner in suffering and in God's Kingdom and in the patient endurance to which Jesus calls us. I was exiled to the island of Patmos for preaching the word of God and for my testimony about Jesus.G1473G2491G3588G2532G5216G80G2532G4791G1722G2347G2532G1722G932G2532G5281G2424G5547G1096G1722G3520G2564G3963G1223G3056G2316G2532G1223G3141G2424G554710It was the Lord's Day, and I was worshiping in the Spiritc. Suddenly, I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet blast.G1096G1722G4151G1722G2960G2250G2532G191G3694G3450G3173G5456G5613G453611It said, "Write in a bookc everything you see, and send it to the seven churches in the cities of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea."G3004G1473G1510G1G2532G5598G4413G2532G2078G2532G3739G991G1125G1519G975G2532G3992G2033G1577G3588G1722G773G1519G2181G2532G1519G4667G2532G1519G4010G2532G1519G2363G2532G1519G4554G2532G1519G5359G2532G1519G299312When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands.G2532G1994G991G5456G3748G2980G3326G1700G2532G1994G1492G2033G5552G308713And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Manc. He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest.G2532G1722G3319G2033G3087G3664G5207G444G1746G4158G2532G4024G4314G3149G5552G222314His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire.G1161G846G2776G2532G2359G3022G5616G2053G3022G5613G5510G2532G846G3788G5613G5395G444215His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves.G2532G846G4228G3664G5474G5613G4448G1722G2575G2532G846G5456G5613G5456G4183G520416He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp two-edged sword came from his mouth. And his face was like the sun in all its brilliance.G2532G2192G1722G846G1188G5495G2033G792G2532G1537G846G4750G1607G3691G1366G4501G2532G846G3799G5613G2246G5316G1722G846G141117When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead. But he laid his right hand on me and said, "Don't be afraid! I am the First and the Last.G2532G3753G1492G846G4098G4314G846G4228G5613G3498G2532G2007G846G1188G5495G1909G1691G3004G3427G5399G3361G1473G1510G4413G2532G207818I am the living one. I died, but look—I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the gravec.G2532G2198G2532G1096G3498G2532G2400G1510G2198G1519G165G165G281G2532G2192G2807G86G2532G228819"Write down what you have seen—both the things that are now happening and the things that will happenc.G1125G3739G1492G2532G3739G1526G2532G3739G3195G1096G3326G502320This is the meaning of the mystery of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lampstands: The seven stars are the angelsc of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.G3466G2033G792G3739G1492G1909G3450G1188G2532G2033G5552G3087G2033G792G1526G32G2033G1577G2532G2033G3087G3739G1492G1526G2033G1577
