Revelation 1:12 (R. Green.)
12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
12When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands. 13 There with the lampstands was someone who seemed to be the Son of Man.+ He was wearing a robe that reached down to his feet, and a gold cloth was wrapped around his chest. 14 His head and his hair were white as wool or snow, and his eyes looked like flames of fire. 15 His feet were glowing like bronze being heated in a furnace, and his voice sounded like the roar of a waterfall. 16He held seven stars in his right hand, and a sharp double-edged sword was coming from his mouth. His face was shining as bright as the sun at noon.
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead person. But he put his right hand on me and said:
Don't be afraid! I am the first, the last, 18and the living one. I died, but now I am alive forever, and I have the keys to death and the world of the dead.+ 19Write what you have seen and what is and what will happen after these things. 20I will explain the mystery of the seven stars you saw at my right side and the seven gold lampstands. The seven stars are the angels+ of the seven churches, and the lampstands are the seven churches.
12몸을 돌이켜 나더러 말한 음성을 알아 보려고 하여 돌이킬 때에 일곱 금촛대를 보았는데 13촛대 사이에 인자 같은 이가 발에 끌리는 옷을 입고 가슴에 금띠를 띠고 14그 머리와 털의 희기가 흰 양털같고 눈 같으며 그의 눈은 불꽃 같고 15그의 발은 풀무에 단련한 빛난 주석 같고 그의 음성은 많은 물소리와 같으며 16그 오른손에 일곱 별이 있고 그 입에서 좌우에 날선 검이 나오고 그 얼굴은 해가 힘있게 비취는 것 같더라
17내가 볼 때에 그 발 앞에 엎드러져 죽은 자같이 되매 그가 오른손을 내게 얹고 가라사대 두려워 말라 나는 처음이요 나중이니 18곧 산 자라 내가 전에 죽었었노라 볼지어다 이제 세세토록 살아 있어 사망과 음부의 열쇠를 가졌노니 19그러므로 네 본 것과 이제 있는 일과 장차 될 일을 기록하라 20네 본 것은 내 오른손에 일곱 별의 비밀과 일곱 금 촛대라 일곱 별은 일곱 교회의 사자요 일곱 촛대는 일곱 교회니라

고통받는 교회를 위로하기 위해 주어진 비전은 다음과 같습니다.
1. 모든 “환난과 나라와 오래 참음”에 참여하는 “형제요”, “밧모라 하는 섬”에서, 바로 그 시간에, 하나님의 말씀을 충실하게 선포하고, 예수님에 대한 증거를 함께 공유하는 사람들에게.
2. 그는 숭고한 영적 상태에 있었습니다: "성령 안에서" - 성령의 통제 아래 있었습니다. 성령의 가르침에 민감하게 살아갑니다. 성령으로 충만하였습니다.
3. 주의 날에.
4. 큰 음성이 그의 주의를 사로잡아, 그에게 주어진 비전을 기록하여, 그것을 일곱 이름의 교회에 선포하라고 명령합니다. 비전에는 다음이 포함됩니다.
I. 교회에 대한 상징적 견해.
"일곱 개의 황금 촛대." 일곱 가지가 있는 한 개의 등잔대는, 교회의 본질적인 단일성과 일곱 가지의 다양성을 나타냅니다. "그리고 일곱 촛대는 일곱 교회입니다." 교회의 순결과 영광은, 그것이 "황금"이라는 것으로 상징 될 수 있습니다.
Ⅱ. 주님이 교회 안에 거하시고 통치하시는 모습.
1. 교회 한가운데에 계신 주님의 임재는, 특히 위험과 박해와 슬픔의 시대에 있는 모든 신자에게 본질적이고 지속적인 위안의 근원입니다. 선견자의 주목은 지금, 인자(a Son of man)와 같으나, "처음이요 나중이시며 살아 계신 이"이신 분의 환상에 국한되었습니다.
2. 우리 주님의 신성한 본성에 대한 고백. "나는 알파와 오메가라, 주 여호와의 말씀입니다;" “나는 처음이요 나중이니” “인자와 같은 분”이 말씀하십니다. 진실로 여호와께서 육신으로 나타나셨습니다! 주님을 묘사하는 관점은 그림으로 상상하거나 스케치해서는 안 됩니다. 그것은 우습거나 혐오스럽게 왜곡됩니다; 그 상징적 의미에만 주목해야 합니다.
3. 드레스는 그분의 대제사장 직분을 나타냅니다; 머리, 머리카락, 눈, 발, 목소리는 상징적 표현입니다.
4. 교회의 심부름꾼들에 대한 주님의 돌보심과 통제는 다음과 같이 상징됩니다. "그의 오른편에 단단한 일곱 별이 있더라;" "일곱 별은 일곱 교회의 천사들입니다."
5. 진리의 근원이신 여호와, 진리는 여호와의 능력의 유일한 무기입니다. "그 입에서 좌우에 날선 검이 나오더라."
6. 신성한 주님의 임재에 대한 인간의 겸손한 경외심: "내가 그를 보았을 때 나는 죽은 사람처럼 그의 발 앞에 엎드러졌습니다."
7. 겁에 질린 겸손한 종에게 주시는 신성한 주님의 위로: "두려워하지 마라." "나는 처음이요 나중이요 살아있는 자니; 내가 전에 죽었으나, 보라 영원히 살아 있어 사망과 지하계의 열쇠를 가졌노라"라는 영광스러운 보증으로 확증되었습니다. 이렇게 나타나신 주님으로 부터, 신성한 선견자는 “네가 본 것과 지금 있는 것과 그 후에 일어날 일을 기록하라”는 명령을 받습니다.

The vision granted for the comfort of the suffering Church was made:
1. To a "brother and partaker" in all "the tribulation and kingdom and patience," sharing at the very hour, "in the isle that is called Patmos," the consequences of faithfully proclaiming the Word of God and bearing his testimony to Jesus.
2. He was in an exalted spiritual state: "in the Spirit" - under the control of the Spirit; sensitively alive to the teachings of the Spirit; filled with the Spirit.
3. On the Lord's day.
4. A great voice arrests his attention, and commands him to write and proclaim to the seven named Churches the vision which should be granted to him. The vision embraced -
I. A SYMBOLICAL VIEW OF THE CHURCH.
"Seven golden candlesticks." A single seven-branched lamp stand, representing the Church in its essential unity and sevenfold diversity. "And the seven candlesticks are seven Churches." The purity and glory of the Church may be symbolized in its being "golden."
II. A VIEW OF THE LORD DWELLING IN AND RULING OVER THE CHURCHES.
1. The presence of the Lord in the midst of the Churches is the one essential and abiding source of consolation to all believers, especially in the times of danger, persecution, and sorrow. The attention of the seer now confined to the vision of him who, though like a Son of man, is "the First and the Last, and the Living One."
2. Testimony to the Divine nature of our Lord. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God;" "I am the First and the Last," saith the "one like unto a son of man." Truly God was manifested in the flesh! The descriptive view of the Lord is not to be imagined or delineated as a picture. It is grotesque; its symbolical meaning only to be regarded.
3. The dress indicates his high priestly office; the head, hair, eyes, feet, and voice are symbolical representations.
4. The Lord's care and control over the messengers of the Churches symbolized by, "And he had in his right hard seven stars;" "The seven stars are the angels of the seven Churches."
5. The Lord the Source of truth, and the truth the one weapon of the Lord's might: "Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword."
6. The human humble awe in presence of the Divine Lord: "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead."
7. The consolation of the Divine Lord to his affrighted, humble servant: "Fear not;" confirmed by the glorious assurance, "I am the First and the Last, and the Living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and have the keys of death and of Hades." From this, the manifested Lord, the sacred seer receives command to "write the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter."
R. Green.
