and his head and hairs white,
as if white as snow,
and his eyes as a flame of fire;

and in the midst of the seven
lamp-stands,one like to a son of man,
clothed to the foot, and girt around
at the breast with a golden girdle.

And I did turn to see the voice that did speak to me, and having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands,

I am the Alpha and the Omega,
