He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To him who overcomes, to him I will give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows but he who receives it.

“The Son of God, who has his eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet are like burnished brass, says these things:
