Seven Letters
. . . I saw seven golden lampstands and in the
middle of the lampstands one like a son of man,
clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and
girded across his breast with a golden girdle.
And his head and his hair were white like white
wool, like snow and his eyes were like a flame
of fire and his feet were like burnished bronze,
when it has been caused to glow in a furnace, and
his voice was like the sound of many waters . .
.

. . . And in his right hand he held seven stars
and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged
sword and his face was like the sun shining in
its strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his
feet as a dead man. And he laid his right hand
upon me, saying, Do not be afraid I am the
first and the last, and the living One and I was
dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I
have the keys of death and of Hades. Write
therefore the things which you have seen . .
. Revelation 112-19
