Bible: Revelation 1:17-20
1:17 When 1 I saw him I fell down at his feet as though I were dead, but 2 he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last, 1:18 and the one who lives! I 3 was dead, but look, now I am alive – forever and ever – and I hold the keys of death and of Hades! 4 1:19 Therefore write what you saw, what is, and what will be after these things. 5 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands is this: 6 The seven stars are the angels 7 of the seven churches and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
