Revelation 1:18-20

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ I was dead, but now I am alive forevermore, and I hold the keys to death and the netherworld.

¹⁹ “Now write down what you have seen, what is happening now, and what will take place afterward. ²⁰ The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold lampstands, is this: the seven stars are the angels of the seven Churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven Churches themselves.
