REVELATION
«Chapter 1»

I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”

I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone “like a son of man,” dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

“Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”

Good Morning Dan, and hello to all.

Wonderful topic, and exciting artworks each one. Beautiful glass!

Thank You Dan, for your research and these postings!

[Hebrews 11:6]

My distinct pleasure, Leon.

What an interesting pose Jesus adopted! He has messages for seven churches, so he represents them by lampstands and their angels (!) by stars, presents Himself amid them in an astonishing way, and summons the last Apostle to witness and report. What a Teacher and Showman!

I guess we’d best pay attention!

[cowboyusa]

Nice pictures from my favorite book of the Bible.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Just getting started. Several hundred more are lined up for the next three weeks.

Moreover, if I were doing that I would feel a profound duty to match the content and intent of the scriptural text.
