Chapter 2-3 Church7 churchesIf 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:
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
The question of life and death. We deal with sin. Break with the past. PERGAMUM
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
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
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. LAODICEA
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. | Revelation of Saint John the Theologian Father-king-the first-born chapter 1 Jesus Revelation chapter 4 Heaven chapter 5 Atonement land chapter 6-4 horse chapter 7 seal of the living God chapter 8 7th seal 7 pipes chapter 9 chapter 10 book in the womb chapter 11 7th trumpet chapter 12 Gospel chapter 13 2 beast chapter 14 Harvest chapter 15 - 7 cups chapter 16 chapter 17 judgment of the great whore chapter 18 chapter 19 chapter 20 1000 years kingdom chapter 21 chapter 22 Heaven Last days of history |
