were like a flame of fire. His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters. He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest. When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last, and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades. Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter; the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.

Chapter 1 (undo)

This is the Revelation of John, which God gave him to show to his servants the things which must happen soon, which he sent and made known by his angel to his servant, John, who testified to God's word, about everything that he saw.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written in it, for the time is at hand.

John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from God, who is and who was and who is to come; and from the seven Spirits who are before his throne; and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us, and washed us from our sins by his blood; and he made us to be a Kingdom, priests to his God and Father; to him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen. "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

I John, your brother and partner with you in oppression, Kingdom, and perseverance in Christ Jesus, was on the isle that is called Patmos because of God's Word and the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like a trumpet saying, " What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea."

I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. Having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands. And among the lamp stands was one like a son of man, clothed with a robe reaching down to his feet, and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and his hair were white as white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters. He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest. When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last, and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades. Write therefore the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will happen hereafter; the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lamp stands. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies. The seven lamp stands are seven assemblies.

Almighty – is the highest God. The same as the god Trimurti in Hinduism.

Who is and who was and who is to come – Vishnu and Brahma and Shiva.

Like a son of man – is the Almighty here.

Asia – is the country of the Aces.

I was in the Spirit – an altered state of consciousness, meditation.

Seven stars – seven chakras.

Seven Spirits – seven roses of the winds of chakra energies.

Lampstand – is a teaching. The essence of any lamp is lighting. Light makes it possible to see certain things, and in particular: chakras.

Seven lampstands – seven teachings about each chakra.

Assemblie – is a place where teaching is learned, a school, a church.

Seven аssemblies – seven churches, seven schools, seven school classes, seven levels of comprehension, seven levels of spiritual practice. Since the number seven is repeated for stars, angels, and lamps, in so far this figure correlates with the same essence, namely with the chakras. Since the chakras can be arranged in ascending order, the seven schools can be understood as seven levels of school, seven classes.

Angel of the assemblie – student of the school. From God's point of view, an "angel" is a servant. Accordingly, a servant who ministers to a church can be called the "angel" of that church. The bulk of the employees in the church are parishioners. Parishioners in the church comprehend the Truth. Accordingly, parishioners can be called disciples of the church. And thus, parishioners can also be called the angels of the church. In the epithet "angel" one can catch the loving attitude of God towards his disciples. The epithet "angel" indicates a very high spiritual level of a person.

Angels of the seven assemblies – disciples of the seven levels
