Revelation 1:17

John’s Vision on Patmos

16He held in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp double-edged sword came from His mouth. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.17When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. But He placed His right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last,18the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades.
