| Rev 1:10 |
I was in spirit on the Lord's Day and heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet,
|
| Rev 1:11 |
Saying, What you see write in a scroll and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamos and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.
|
| Rev 1:12 |
And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me; and when I turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,
|
| Rev 1:13 |
And in the midst of the lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment reaching to the feet, and girded about at the breasts with a golden girdle.
|
| Rev 1:14 |
And His head and hair were as white as white wool, as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;
|
| Rev 1:15 |
And His feet were like shining bronze, as having been fired in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters.

The mystery of the seven stars which you saw upon My right hand and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
