2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that

before his throne;

5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved

us from our

7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him

. Even so, Amen.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,

like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand
