Revelation 1:18-20

The Voice

¹⁸ and I am the living One. I entered the realm of the dead; but see, I am alive now and for all the ages—even ages to come. [Amen.]^[a] I possess the keys to open the prison of death and hades.

¹⁹ Now write down all you have seen—all that is and all that will be. ²⁰ Regarding the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the heavenly messengers who preside over the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches themselves.
