And nations under our feet.

Yahweh, [e]with the (I)sound of a trumpet.

15 Then Moses went up to the mountain, and (A)the cloud covered the mountain. 16 (B)And the glory of Yahweh dwelt on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; and on the seventh day He (C)called to Moses from the midst of the cloud. 17 (D)And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a (E)consuming fire on the mountain top, in the eyes of the sons of Israel. 18 Then Moses entered the midst of the cloud [a]as he went up to the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain (F)forty days and forty nights.
The Vision of the Son of Man
9 (A)I, John, your (B)brother and (C)fellow partaker in the tribulation and (D)kingdom and [a](E)perseverance which are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos (F)because of the word of God and the witness of Jesus. 10 I was [b](G)in the Spirit on (H)the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice (I)like a trumpet, 11 saying, “(J)Write in a scroll what you see, and send it to the (K)seven churches: to (L)Ephesus and to (M)Smyrna and to (N)Pergamum and to (O)Thyatira and to (P)Sardis and to (Q)Philadelphia and to (R)Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw (S)seven golden lampstands; 13 and (T)in the middle of the lampstands I saw one (U)like [c]a son of man, (V)clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and (W)girded across His chest with a golden sash. 14 And His head and His (X)hair were white like white wool, like snow; and (Y)His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15 His (Z)feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His (AA)voice was like the sound of many waters, 16 and having in His right hand (AB)seven stars, and a (AC)sharp two-edged sword which comes out of His mouth, and His (AD)face was like (AE)the sun [d]shining in its power.
17 And when I saw Him, I (AF)fell at His feet like a dead man. And He (AG)placed His right hand on me, saying, “(AH)Do not fear; (AI)I am the first and the last, 18 and the (AJ)living One; and I [e](AK)was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever, and I have (AL)the keys of death and of Hades.
