14and His head and hairs [were] white, as if white wool—as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire;
15and His feet like to frankincense-colored brass, as having been fired in a furnace, and His voice as a sound of many waters;
16and having seven stars in His right hand, and out of His mouth a sharp two-edged sword is proceeding, and His countenance—as the sun shining in its might.
17And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead, and He placed His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last,
18and He who is living, and I became dead, and behold, I am living through the ages of the ages. Amen! And I have the keys of Hades and of death.
19Write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to come after these things;
20the secret of the seven stars that you have seen on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are messengers of the seven assemblies, and the seven lampstands that you have seen are seven assemblies.”
