17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me,
18 I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hades and of death.
19 Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.
