Chapter 2-3 Church

7 churches

If you connect these 7 churches on the map in a written sequence, you will get an arrow pointing to the northwest, the direction of the spread of the church.

Rev 1:11 Write and departed not by the news to every church, but all the messages went to every church, as well as the entire description before and after the messages, that is, the entire kitchen. This is a complete revelation. Everything is open here.

Rev 1:13 …in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man… He saw Jesus in the middle of the church, though not without spot and vice, but He is not Outside of it, and it's golden in His eyes.

These messages can be viewed in 3 different ways:

  1. Just messages to these real churches. All the messages are written to the neighboring churches of one small area, we do not find messages to the meaningful churches in Antioch, Alexandria ... All these churches were started by the disciples of Paul when he led Bible School in Ephesus for 3 years. But, nevertheless, Judge on the messages, these churches were very different. Also, despite the fact that then there were more famous, influential churches, these were no less important to Jesus.  
  2. 7 stages of church development. The number 7 is the number of times. The history of Israel, the feasts of Israel - the time scale of the Old Testament. The history of the church is the time scale of the New Testament.  
  3. 7 stages of the growth of a Christian. It is not only the church, but the body of Christ. The development of the believer.
EPHESUS

Εφεσος – Coveted, desired. The main city of the province of Asia (the territory of today's Turkey), a shopping center. The population of ~ 300.000 people, streets paved with marble, the temple of Diana (Artemis - the goddess of the moon, daughter of Zeus, sister of Apollo) was one of the seven wonders of the world. There was a large Jewish colony in the city. At 262 AD Is destroyed. Today on this place is the settlement of Aysya Solyuk.

Paul spent in Ephesus 3 year during his 3rd m-journey, teaching every day. Graduates of his Bible school planted churches throughout the province of Asia. The pastor of the church in Ephesus was the favorite disciple of Paul - Timothy. Paul never stayed so long. Bible already has a message from this church, as well as two messages to Timothy, the pastor of the church in Ephesus. Paul already wrote something on this subject.

Eph 4:11-16 … inistry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: …

Rev 2:1 Jesus walks in the middle of the church and holds the leadership in his hand. The age of the baby, all that is required of him is 1-st love. 1 st visit to the church. Shift your lamp - I will shorten your time (lights, like a clock, and move one of them - anyway, that translate the arrows). The tree of Life. Returning to Eden is not our goal of our journey, but we are returning to the beginning of the path from which man has evaded.

SMYRNA

Σμυρνα – myrrh. Today on this place is the settlement of Ismir.

The question of life and death. We deal with sin. Break with the past.

PERGAMUM

Περγαμος – parchment. Today this place is Pergamon.

The sword is the word. Attach to the Word, no compromise, and then it will feed you, that is, you will receive His power, the anointing. And this book will have your nam

THYATIRA

Do the Word. Jealousy, does not tolerate treason, it's serious.

SARDIS

Σαρδεις – Sardolik (ruby). Today there is the village of Sart on this site.

Again 7 stars, but there are no lamps, the visible part. It's about the spiritual. Approve close to death. Until now, your deeds have been carnal, and this is to death. You still do not know the spiritual world well, but you already know and are able to understand spiritual things.

1Cor 2:9,13 … comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

One can not understand the spiritual world through the fleshly experience, one must come in contact with the spiritual. Stay awake, it's possible, there is already, who could. And you will get white clothes forever, free and only now you pass the test, and only now your name from the book of life will not be blotted out.

PHILADELPHIA

Φιλαδελφια – brotherly love. Allah Cher is here today.

Once you have already become spiritual, then all that you will do is for good. Only now you really move. You have a little strength, but you have.

Lk 17:5-6 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.
6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say, unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey, you.

The question is not how much you have, but do you have anything at all? You will become a pillar. The name of God is a covenant.

Λαοδικεια – democracy. 1218λαος – people, people, crowd, horde. 1249δικη – law, fairness, justice; Court, court proceedings, litigation. Today on this place is the settlement of Eski-Gissar.

Bible already has a message from this church (Col ​​4:16-17), Paul already wrote something like that.

Col 2:1-8 … lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:…

Rev 3:19 As many as, I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

The good news, despite the worst condition of this church - He loves it.

1Cor 8:2 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

Children are punished, but they are encouraged, and most importantly, parents tell their children an achievable goal. He no longer waits, but Himself knocks.
