I was in the Spirit on the Lordโs day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet

saying,โWhat you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.โ
v12
I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.
v13
And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest.
v14
His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.
v15
His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.
v16
He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.
v17
When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, โDonโt be afraid. I am the first and the last,
v18
and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
v19
Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter.
v20
The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.
