The Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:16 And he was holding in his right hand the seven angels of the seven churches of Asia: and out of his mouth came the living word of God, spoken by God, which was as sharp as a twoedged sword to cut down and destroy his enemies: His strength was so mighty, so undeniable, so true, and so loving that it could be seen in his face shining as the sun.

The Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell down at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand upon me, and said: Fear not (Don't be afraid) I am the beginning and the end, I am Alpha and Omega.

The Holy Bible King James version:

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, A-men'; and have the keys of hell and of death.

My interpretation:

Revelation 1:18 I am the one that is alive although I was dead, now look upon me for I am alive for evermore, and I say A-men' or (so be it); and I have the keys of hell and of death.

The Holy Bible King James version all together:

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, A-men'; and have the keys of hell and of death.

My interpretation all together:

And he was holding in his right hand the seven angels of the seven churches of Asia: and out of his mouth came the living word of God, spoken by God, which was as sharp as a twoedged sword to cut down and destroy his enemies: His strength was so mighty, so undeniable, so true, and so loving that it could be seen in his face shining as the sun.
