Revelation 1:12 - Forerunner Commentary

Revelation 1:12

10 ^aI was in the Spirit on ^bthe Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me ^ca loud voice, as of a trumpet,

11 saying,¹ “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches² which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned ^aI saw seven golden lampstands,

13 ^aand in the midst of the seven lampstands ^bOne like the Son of Man, ^cclothed with a garment down to the feet and ^dgirded about the chest with a golden band.

14 His head and ^ahair were white like wool, as white as snow, and ^bHis eyes like a flame of fire;

15 ^aHis feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and ^bHis voice as the sound of many waters;

16 ^aHe had in His right hand seven stars, ^bout of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, ^cand His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

17 And ^awhen I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But ^bHe laid His right hand on me, saying¹ to me, “Do not be afraid; ^cI am the First and the Last.

18 ^aI am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, ^bI am alive forevermore. Amen. And ^cI have the keys of Hades and of Death.
