10. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet

11. saying ,"What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

12. I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands.

13. 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.Daniel 7:13

14. His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire.

15. His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

16. 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.

17. When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man.He laid his right hand on me, saying,"Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last,

18. 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.
