Revelation 1 – The Message

In the center the Son of Man, in a robe and gold breastplate, hair a blizzard of white, eyes pouring fireblaze, both feet furnacefired bronze, his voice a cataract, right-hand holding the Seven Stars, his mouth a sharp-biting sword, his face a perigee sun. I saw this and fainted dead at his feet. His right hand pulled me upright, his voice reassured me: ‘Don’t fear: I am First, I am Last, I am Alive. I died, but I came to life, and my life is now forever. See these keys in my hand? They open and lock Death’s doors, they open and lock Hell’s gates. Now write down everything you see: things that are, things about to be.
