The « Revelation of John » :

1.v8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord GOD, who is and who was and who is to come. The sovereign Lord of all.

1.v10 It was on the Lord’s day, and I was caught up by the spirit, and behind me I heard a loud voice, like the sound of a trumpet, which said to me, «write down what you see and send it to the seven churches : to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea». I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me : and when I turned I saw seven standing lamps of gold, and among the lamps one like a son of man ...In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword and his face shone like the sun in full strength. «Here is the secret meaning of the seven stars you saw in my right hand and of the seven lamps of gold : The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven lamps are the seven churches».

2.v12 To the angel of the church at Pergamum write : «These are the words of the One who has the sharp two-edged sword : ...»

3.v14 To the angel of the church at Laodicea write: « These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the prime source of all GOD’s creation ...»

In the above passage, God describes himself as the One, the Lord of all. Out of his mouth came a sharp two edged sword; symbolic of the 2:1 proportion.

Following the initial division of the source, we are told of the numerical importance of the number seven; the seven angels of the seven churches in the province of Asia; seven standing lamps of gold; seven stars in his right hand. There were seven biblical days of creation.
