And he had in his right hand seven stars: the right hand is the hand of power, Psalms 21:8; and of favour, Psalms 44:3; and of honour and dignity, Psalms 110:1. The seven stars are expounded, Revelation 1:20, to be the ministers of the gospel, his messengers to his churches, who having in all times been most exposed to the malice and rage of enemies, Christ is said to hold them in his right hand, as to signify the dignity he hath put upon them and the favour he hath showed them, so also to show his resolution to protect them, according to his promise, Matthew 28:20. And out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword; either his gospel and word, compared to a two-edged sword, Hebrews 4:12; or a sword of justice, which he will use till he hath perfectly overcome and vanquished his enemies. And his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength; that is, was very glorious, so as the apostle was not able to behold him.
