Read in context

Revelation 1:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the roar of many waters.

16 He 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.

17 When 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,

18 the Living One. I was dead, and behold, now I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of Death and of Hades.

19 Therefore write down the things you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that will happen after this.
