ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN

 

9 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.

10 ON THE LORD’S DAY

I WAS IN THE SPIRIT,

And I heard behind me a Loud Voice

Like a Trumpet,

11 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.”

12 I turned around to see the Voice

That was Speaking to me.

And I saw Seven Golden Lampstands,

13 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.

14 His Head and Hair

Were White like Wool,

As White as Snow,

And His Eyes were like Blazing Fire.

15 His Feet were like Bronze

Glowing in a Furnace,

And His Voice was like

The sound of Rushing Waters.

16 In His right Hand

He held Sven Stars,

And out of His Mouth

Came a Sharp Double-Edged Sword.

His Face was like the Sun

Shining in all its Brilliance.

(Revelation 1:9-16, NIV)
