15and his feet like unto burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the voice of many waters.

16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

19Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;
