Vision of the Son of Man
9 I, John, both your brother and Phil. 1:7companion in the tribulation and (Rom. 8:17; 2 Tim. 2:12)kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 Acts 10:10I was in the Spirit on Acts 20:7the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me Rev. 4:1a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."
20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are Mal. 2:7; Rev. 2:1the angels of the seven churches, and Ex. 25:37; 37:23; Zech. 4:2; Matt. 5:15; Phil. 2:15the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.
