Revelation 1:18-20

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ and the Living One. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades. ¹⁹ Therefore write what you have seen, what is, and what will take place after this. ²⁰ The secret of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven gold lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels^[a] of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands^[b] are the seven churches.
