isv Revelation:1:9-20
isv@Revelation:1:9 @ I am John, your brother and partner in suffering, ruling, and enduring because of Jesus. I was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus.
isv@Revelation:1:10 @ I came to be in the Spirit on the Day of the Lord, when I heard a loud voice behind me like a trumpet,
isv@Revelation:1:11 @ saying,“Write on a scroll what you see, and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.”
isv@Revelation:1:12 @ Then I turned to see the voice that was talking to me, and when I turned I saw seven gold lampstands.
isv@Revelation:1:13 @ Among the lampstands there was someone like the Son of Man. He was wearing a long robe with a gold belt around his waist.
isv@Revelation:1:14 @ His head and his hair were white like wool, in fact, as white as snow. His eyes were like flames of fire,
isv@Revelation:1:15 @ his feet were like glowing bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of raging waters.
isv@Revelation:1:16 @ In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword. His face was like the sun when it shines with full force.
isv@Revelation:1:17 @ When I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. But he placed his right hand on me and said,“Stop being afraid! I am the first and the last,
isv@Revelation:1:18 @ the living one. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever! I have the keys of Death and Hades.
isv@Revelation:1:19 @ Therefore, write down what you have seen, what is, and what is going to happen after this.
isv@Revelation:1:20 @ The secret meaning of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lampstands is this: the seven stars are the messengersof the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”
