Revelation1:9-20 | Pastor Rick
Packinghouse’s Sunday evening worship service from November 6, 2025.
John writes from exile on Patmos, reminding the church that he is their brother in trials and that Jesus is Lord over every ruler; on the Lord’s Day he hears a trumpet like voice declaring, I am the Alpha and the Omega, and he is told to write to seven churches. Turning, he sees seven golden lampstands and the Son of Man walking among them, dressed as the true High Priest with hair white as snow, eyes like fire, feet like burnished bronze, and a voice like many waters; in his right hand are seven stars, a sharp two edged sword proceeds from his mouth, and his face shines like the sun. John falls as though dead, yet Jesus touches him and says, Do not be afraid, I am alive forever and I hold the keys of death; then he gives the outline of Revelation, the things seen, the things that are, and the things after this, explaining that the stars are the messengers of the churches and the lampstands are the churches themselves.
