Chapter two and three need not be made complicated. They simple inform ALL of the rewards and
Punishment that are coming and not to think that our works and acts are hidden. God would that ALL be saved and so has ever forwarned.
I love it.it help me to understand what I was struggling with my life. Lord is everlasting love and understanding. Through those scriptures he opened my eyes let me understand.
The letters were written by John, as given by Our Lord Jesus, to Churches that existed then but I also believe that the Churches are Church ages that we will all go through. The Seven Church styles as it were. This is from Pentecost Acts 2 to the "Rapture" foretold in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18.
Do not be deceived and lean not on thine own understanding as God teaches both are unrighteous: Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour is the spirit of prophecy and knows His flock: The church in Philadelphia is here and will be shielded from the wrath of Great tribulation of hell that cometh upon all the nations of the whole earth. The Spirit of Christ Jesus is in the flesh today and will remove His church which is scattered about. JESUS SAVES. 2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
can anyone tell me what happen to the church from revelation 3:10?if anyone thinks that this is to the rapture than it passed 2000 years ago because this is promise to 1 church of 7 almost 2000 years ago.anyone knows what happens to each of them?
I feel like the book of Revelation reveals a lot of info that we can input in our life because of the things that are happening today little but little word per word i see it is full filling this book has a lot to do with our time.
Jesus knocks at the door of my heart through His word ,preaching , and others that I speak with that know Jesus Christ . When He knocks : open the door of your heart , and my heart : Jesus is a gentleman and He will not intrude in on you or me. He comes in on invitation : When we , I open our hearts door , He comes in and the Joy of fellowship and intervention we have with our Lord is Joy unspeakable and full of Glory !!!
God is warning the churches of the world, in this endtime to depart from it sinful ways. As the creator of the universe he see all our doings, even those that are than in secret. the bible says, the axe is already at the root of the tree, to cut down the unfruitful tree. as Rev 3:6 says we should be careful not to be deceived with moderization. He that hath ear let him hear what the spirit says.
God watches the churches to this day and the messengers report to Him. There are two churches that God loved 2 vs 9 and 3 vs 9 because they knew the key of David.
I do agree with Charles to an extent. The 7 churches definitely speaks of people today. Not so much as different generations but different types of people living in every generation. You will find some of every one of those churches in this day and age as well as in the past.
CHARLES ROBERT NORTHUP on Revelation 3 - 8 years ago
I perceive thru the Spirit that the seven Churches are seven periods or generations of the Church that depicted the condition of their times,and can be used to tell how close the end is,by comparing our lifestyle to the correct Church,(of the 7),spoken of in Rev..
Paula Muncey that verse is for those that wait for the true CHRIST. Many Christians will go with the world when the first false messiah shows up with supernatural powers. Satan will deceive the world with power and looking like the Lamb but he is the dragon speaking lies with twisting the scriptures. And that is not hard to do with the preachers we have today helping him and getting the people ready for Satans deception.
Look at Revelation 3:10 again. In the Greek the word keep means to guard from loss or injury. The word from means the point in time when an action begins. So we could understand this verse to mean guarding from injury starting at the hour of temptation. In other words, one could actually understand this verse to mean that God protects His people during the Tribulation.
Geoff when you see the world worshipping the false Christ that comes first as he sits claiming to be God you can ask the ones being delivered up and they will be able to tell you when the true Christ will come or you can wait until Satan as instead of Christ kills the two witnesses and displays them in the streets so all can see and just think, well, it's gonna be 3 days and the 7th trump will sound and Christ will return.
God 's word speaks for itself: Patience G5281 steadfastness, endurance, patience. The exact same Greek word used in Rev 13:10 and 14:12. Keep G5083 tereo to guard, to attend to carefully, to observe, to keep one in the state he is in. From G1537 Ek from, away from, out, with denoting the place of origin. Put this phrase together and Jesus is saying "because your faith has already endured and persevered and you haven 't denied my ance meaning they had been tempted to do so I will guard your faith during the hour of temptation trial great tribulation, to come upon and try the whole world. " Look at John 17:15 and you will see the exact same Greek phrase tereo ek. In that verse it 's obvious Jesus meant to protect his apostles while here on earth from the evil. He explicitly said he didn 't want to remove them. So the exact same Greek phrase has to be interpreted in the exact same way.
Verse 3: - thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee - implies that those watching WILL know the hour. What Jesus Christ said here conflicts with what he told his Apostles in Jerusalem in Matthew 24:36 - But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. - Does Jesus Christ now know the hour himself and will reveal it to those watching? Does Jesus Christ now know the hour because he was counted worthy to open the scroll mentioned in Revelation Chapter 5:2 ? The important thing to get from this is that some people WILL know the hour!
I believe that the open door is door of opportunity for the gospel to flourish as a laborer in the Lord 's Harvest. I believe that the mention of "little strength " is not a reproof. as what one commentary stated, but a commendation of meekness and humility in the little human strength that the laborers of the Harvest has, such as they are shunned by the "big and mighty church fellowships whose so called servants of Christ pastors are purely HIRELINGS " of that they as a congregation is not mighty in number but just a measly number thus little corporate strength humanly speaking, but it is obvious here that God is their strength because God found them perfect before his eyes, or did not find any fault with them..
It is very important to hear and listen to the word of God and invite the Holy Spirit at the Church in order for him to take over the crowd. Once Jesus is in the mids of the crowd we will see his Glory. From this words we recieved peace, joy, healing and life in abundance. Thanks to Jesus and praised him for he is worthy to be praised. amen
the word lukewarm is just what it seems, it 's not hot or cold. But if you are hot, in other words full of sprit you are close to God, but if you 're cold towards God and you know it, then you start trying to get back in God 's grace, but if you 're lukewarm you are happy and content to set in the middle and not try to get closer to God.
I don 't think this verse is talking about being a Jew or not. I think it is referring to people who say they are Christians and yet they live non Christian lives. Some churches and people are not in accordance to the New Testament teaching. The church of Phyladelphia is a small church but has kept the faith . It is this type of church that Jesus wants to rapture when He comes.
Many people are trying to pass off as being Jews and have even had their names written in the book that was to remain of Pure Blood. They can fool us. They can fool themselves but they cannot fool God
