Charles Spurgeon Commentary Revelation 1:18-19

"and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Write therefore the things which thou sawest, and the things which are, and the things which shall come to pass hereafter;" — Revelation 1:18-19 (ASV)

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which thou hast seen. Come, lay aside thy fears. Thy fears disqualify thee from holding the pen.

You have scarcely dared to look. I am sure you will not dare to write until I strengthen you.
