1:10 當主日,我被聖靈感動,聽見在我後面有大聲音如吹號,說:
1:11 「你所看見的當寫在書上,達與以弗所、士每拿、別迦摩、推雅推喇、撒狄、非拉鐵非、老底嘉那七個教會。」
1:12 我轉過身來,要看是誰發聲與我說話;既轉過來,就看見七個金燈臺。
1:13 燈臺中間有一位好像人子,身穿長衣,直垂到腳,胸間束著金帶。
1:14 他的頭與髮皆白,如白羊毛,如雪;眼目如同火焰;
1:15 腳好像在爐中鍛鍊光明的銅;聲音如同眾水的聲音。
1:16 他右手拿著七星,從他口中出來一把兩刃的利劍;面貌如同烈日放光。
I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and
I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet
saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches,
to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to
Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I
saw seven golden lampstands, and in the
midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with
a golden sash around his chest. The
hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a
flame of fire, his feet were like
burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many
waters. In his right hand he held seven
stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the
sun shining in full strength.

使徒約翰將自己所看見基督的榮形在此向我們說明,當我們讀到這樣的字句時,不難想像到基督復活以後的樣式和權能,也讓我們相信耶穌基督將來審判的日子他也必定以這樣的榮形向我們顯現!
我們相信耶穌基督從死裡復活以後,正如祂向門徒所宣告的:「天上地下所有的權柄都賜給我了。」
所以,主耶穌復活之後就真正掌王權、居首位,配得一切的榮耀!
