Revelation 1:18
King James Version
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead;
and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen;
and have the keys of hell
and of death.
Now, we shall see the countenance of the Lord, and His power over everything.
Revelation 1:12-19
King James Version
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned,
I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks
one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot,
and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and his hairs were white like wool,
as white as snow;
and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass,
as if they burned in a furnace;
and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars:
and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword:
and his countenance was as the sun shineth
in his strength.
17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me,
saying unto me,
Fear not;
I am the first and the last:
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead;
and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen;
and have the keys of hell and of death.
19 Write the things which thou hast seen,
and the things which are,
and the things which shall be hereafter;
The next post will be on The church of EPHESUS.
