“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.”
In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining with full force — the right hand (place of power and authority) holds the seven stars (the angels of the churches, verse 20), indicating Christ's direct hold over the church's messengers. The sword from his mouth is his word of judgment (Isaiah 49:2; Hebrews 4:12); his face like the sun in full strength recalls Matthew 17:2 (the Transfiguration) and signifies blazing glory.
