12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned, I saw seven golden menorot.
13 In the midst of the menorot, I saw One like a Son of Man, clothed in a robe down to His feet, with a golden belt wrapped around His chest.
14 His head and His hair were white like wool, white like snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire.
15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of rushing waters.
16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came forth a sharp, two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at full strength.
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last,
18 and the One who lives. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever! Moreover, I hold the keys of death and Sheol.
