1:12 And
[1] I turned
[a.] to see the voice that spake with me. And
[2] being turned, I saw
[a.] seven golden candlesticks [lampstands];
[3] in the midst of the seven
candlesticks
[a.] [I saw one] like unto the Son of man
[Dan. 10:4-6],
[11.] clothed with a garment
[aa.]
down to the foot, and
[12.] girt about the paps
[aa.]
with a golden girdle.
1:14 [13.] His head and [his] hairs [were]
[aa.]
white like wool,
[111.] as white as snow; and
[14.] his eyes [were]
[aa.]
as a flame of fire
[Dan. 10:6];
[aa.]
like unto fine brass
[Dan. 10:6],
[111..] as if they burned in a furnace; and
[16.] his voice
[aa.]
as the sound of many waters
1:16 And [17.] he had in his right hand
[aa.[
seven
stars: and
[18.] out of his mouth
[aa.]
went a
sharp two-edged sword [the word
of God]: and
[19.] his countenance [was]
[aa.]
as the sun shineth in his strength [Matt. 17:2].
1:17 And when I saw him,
[1] I fell at his feet as
dead [John was slain in the
spirit]. And
[2] he laid his right hand upon
me,
[a.] saying
unto me,
[11.] Fear not;
[12.] I am
[aa.] the first and
[bb.] the last:
1:18 [cc.] I [am] he that liveth,
[111.] and was dead; and,
[13.] behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen; and
[14.] [I] have
[aa.] the keys of hell
[the authority over hell and death] and
[bb.] [the keys] of death.
The key to understanding the book of
Revelation
1:19 Write
[1] the things
[a.] which thou hast seen [a vision of the glorified Jesus: Chapter 1], and
[2] the things
[b.] which
are [historical facts
in John's day: Chapters 2 and 3], and
[3] the things
[c.] which shall be hereafter [the prophecy of this Book: Chapters 4 through 22];
1:20 The mystery of
[1] the seven stars
[a.] which thou sawest
[11] in my right hand, and
[2] the seven golden candlesticks
[lampstands].
The seven stars are
[11.] the angels
[messengers or pastors (Rev. 1:1)]
[aa.] of the seven churches: and
[12.] the seven candlesticks [lampstands]
[aa.] which thou sawest are
[111.] the seven churches
