Revelation 1:18-20

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁸ the living one. I was dead, but now I am alive forever. I have the keys of death and hell. ¹⁹ Therefore, write down what you have seen, what is, and what is going to happen after these things. ²⁰ The hidden meaning of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lamp stands is this: The seven stars are the messengers of the seven churches, and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches.
