*The Vision of Christ*
*Revelation 1:9-22*
* *
 
 
*Revelation 1:9 - 20** (KJV) *9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.
10I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,  11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send /it/ unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me.
And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;  13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks /one/ like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14His head and /his/ hairs /were/ white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes /were/ as a flame of fire;  15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance /was/ as the sun shineth in his strength.
17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:  18I /am/ he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
19Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;  20The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks.
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
*Intro*: Verse nine begins the first major division based on the outline in verse 19.

#.
*PAST* - Have seen… Chapter 1
#.
*PRESENT* - Things which are… Chapters 2-3
