The Son of Man

Revelation 1:9-20

I, John, your brother and partaker with you in the tribulation and kingdom and endurance in Jesus, came to be in the isle that is called Patmos because of the word of God and the witness of Jesus. 

I came to be in Spirit in the Lord’s Day, and heard behind me a loud voice as of a trumpet, saying, What thou seest, write in a scroll and send unto the Seven Assemblies, unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamum, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

And I turned round to see the Voice which was speaking with me, and, having turned, I saw Seven Lamps of gold; and in the midst of the lamps, One like unto a Son of Man: clothed with a robe, reaching to the feet, and girt about at the breasts with a girdle of gold, And his head and hair, white like white wool, like snow, and his eyes like a flame of fire, And his feet like unto glowing copper as if in a furnace refined, and his voice like a sound of many waters, And having in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth a sharp, two-edged sword going forth; and his whole appearance as when the sun, shineth in its strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead, and he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Do not fear! I am the First and the Last, and the Living One and I became dead; and lo! living am I unto the ages of ages, and have the keys of death and of hades. Write, therefore, what things thou hast seen and what they are; and what things are about to come to pass after these things: The sacred secret of the seven stars which thou sawest upon my right hand, and the seven lamps of gold: The seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lamps are seven assemblies.
