Revelation 1:12-20 NKJV

Revelation 1:12-20 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lamp-stands,

and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.

His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;

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

He had in His right seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.

And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.

"I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

"Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.

"The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands; The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.

Revelations 2:1-4 "To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, 'These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands;

"I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars;

"and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary.

"Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

Zechariah 4:1-14 Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man is wakened out of his sleep.

And he said to me, "What do you see?" So I said, "I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.

"Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left."

So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"

Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."

So he answered and said to me; "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel; 'Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.' Says the LORD of hosts,

'Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!'"

Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying;

"The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple; His hands shall also finish it, Then you will know That the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you.

For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of the LORD, Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth."

Then I answered and said to him, "What are these two olive trees--at the right of the lampstand and at its left?"

And I further answered and said to him, "What are these two olive branches that drip into the receptacles of the two pipes from which the golden oil drains?"

Then he answered me and said, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."

So he said, "These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the LORD of the whole earth."

Revelation 2:18-21 "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass;

"I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first.

"Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immortality and eat things sacrificed to idols.

"And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immortality, and she did not repent,

Revelations 2:12-15 "And to the angel of the church of Pergamos write, 'These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword;

"I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is.' And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

"But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam. who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality.

"This you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate,

Revelations 3:1-3 "And to the angel of the church of Sardis write, 'These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars; "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead,

"Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.

"Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.

Revelations 22:6-11 Then he said to me, "These words are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

"Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book."

Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

Then he said to me, "See that you do not do that, For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. worship God."

And he said to me, "Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

"He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."

"I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

" Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days, Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

"Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie--indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.

"Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.

Revelation 4:1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking to me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this."
