THE TWO CHURCHES CHRIST IS PLEASED WITH (PART TWO)

CONTINUING OUR STUDY FROM THE BOOK OF REVELATION.

REVELATION MEANS "UNCOVERING ", OR "REVEALING" IN THE GREEK.

IT DESCRIBES THE EVENTS THAT WILL HAPPEN JUST BEFORE AND AFTER CHRIST RETURNS.

IN THIS STUDY, WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE CHURCHES OF OUR TIME CHRIST WAS PLEASED WITH, AND THE CHURCHES HE WASN'T.  FROM THE SEVEN TYPES OF CHURCHES HE ONLY FOUND TWO HE WAS PLEASED WITH.

LET'S GO TO THE WORD.

IN PART ONE, WE LEARNT THAT HE WAS PLEASED WITH ONE TYPE OF CHURCH ; THE CHURCH OF SMYRNA.

Revelation 2:18    And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write ; 'These things saith the Son of God, Who hath His eyes like unto a flame of fire, and His feet are like fine brass ;

 THE FIRE AND THE FINE BRASS PRESENT THE POWER AND STRENGTH ON HIS BODY.

2:19    I know thy works, and charity (love), and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works ; and the last to be more than the first.

HE IS IMPRESSED WITH THEIR ACTIONS BUT, HE HAS SOMETHING AGAINST THEM.

2:20   Notwithstanding, I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce My servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed to idols.

THIS TYPE OF CHURCH CLAIMS TO BE VERY RELIGIOUS. HOWEVER THEY LISTEN TO FALSE TEACHINGS.

2:21    And I gave her space to repent of her fornication ; and she repented not.

THIS TYPE OF CHURCH WILL NOT REPENT.

2:22    Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

HE IS GOING TO ALLOW SATAN (ANTICHRIST = INSTEAD OF CHRIST IN THE GREEK) TO DECEIVE AND TAKE OVER THAT CHURCH.

2:23    And I will kill her children with death ; and all the churches shall know that I am He Which searcheth the reins and hearts : and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

IN OTHER WORDS, I WILL KILL SPIRITUALLY THE CONGREGATION OF THAT CHURCH ; I'M THE ONE WHO CAN READ YOUR MIND AND SEARCH THE VERY INSIDE OF YOU. THEY WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS.

2:24    But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak ; I will put upon you none other burdens.

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE DOCTRINE OF THAT CHURCH.

THE OTHER MAN THAT PEOPLE WILL WORSHIP WILL BE SATAN.

2:25    But that which ye have already, hold fast till I come.

AT LEAST YOU MAINTAIN THAT.

2:26    And he that overcometh, and keepeth My works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations :

2:27    And he shall rule them with a rod of iron ; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers : even as I received of My Father.

RULE = SHEPHERD.

2:28    And I will give him the morning star.

MORNING STAR = EARLY LIGHT.

NOTE:  LUCIFER CALLS HIMSELF  A MORNING STAR (ISAIAH 14). HE LOVES TO COPY CHRIST.

NOTE : CHURCHES ARE MENTIONED TILL THE END OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION (REV. 22:16).

2:29     He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.'

WHY HE KEEPS SAYING THAT ? BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE HAS EARS TO HEAR WITH UNDERSTANDING. HE HAS PLACED CERTAIN BLINDERS ON SOME PEOPLE FOR THEIR OWN PROTECTION (ROMANS 11:7-10).  THEY ARE TOO WEAK TO SERVE CHRIST AT THAT TIME.

3:1    And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write ; 'These things saith He That hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars ; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

SEVEN SPIRITS = ANGELS.

SEVEN STARS = THE SEVEN ANGELS OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES.

NUMBER # 7 MEANS, SPIRITUAL COMPLITNESS IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS.

THIS CHURCH WAS DEAD SPIRITUALLY.

3:2    Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die : for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

HANG ON TO THE THINGS YOU GOT.

HE COMPLIMENTS THE PART THAT THIS CONGREGATION WAS TRYING.

3:3   Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

IF YOU DON'T REPENT AND TURN BACK TO MY WORD, I WILL COME ON TO YOU AS A THIEF (you do not know when a thief arrives).

THEY WILL WORSHIP SATAN THINKING HE IS CHRIST, BECAUSE, THEY DON'T KNOW THE TRUE CHRIST.

3:4     Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments ; and they shall walk with Me in white : for they are worthy.

IN WHITE = THE RIGHTEOUS GARMENT.

THEY ARE PEOPLE IN THIS CHURCH THAT KNOW THE LORD AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT.

3:5    He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment ; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels.

THE ONES WHO OVERCOME HE WILL NOT ERASE THEIR NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE.

3:6     He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.'

3:7     And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write ; 'These things saith He That is Holy, He That is True, He That hath the key of David, He That openeth, and no man shutteth, and shutteth, and no man openeth ;

THIS TYPE OF CHURCH CHRIST IS PLEASED WITH.

THE KEY OF DAVID = IT HAS TO DO WITH CHRIST. THEY KNOW THE TRUTH.

THERE IS NO MAN THAT CAN DECEIVE THIS CHURCH.

3:8    I know thy works : behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it : for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name.

THIS CHURCH HAS KEPT GOD'S WORD INSTEAD OF SOMEONE ELSE'S.

3:9     Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie ; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

WHAT THIS CHURCH HAS IN COMMON WITH THE CHURCH OF SMYRNA ?

BOTH OF THOSE CHURCHES KNOW WHO THE KENITES (SATAN'S OFFSPRING) ARE.

THESE TWO TYPES OF CHURCHES CHRIST IS PLEASED WITH.

3:10    Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION = SATAN TEMPTING THE WORLD WITH HIS LIES.

THIS CHURCH WILL NOT BE TEMPTED BY HIM.

3:11      Behold, I come quickly : hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

DON'T LET ANY MAN TAKE YOUR CROWN BY DECEIVING YOU.

3:12    Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the Temple of My God, and he shall go no more out : and I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from My God : and I will write upon him My new name.

MY NEW NAME = HE RETAKES HIS WIFE SPIRITUALLY (ISAIAH 62:4).

3:13     He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.'

3:14     And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write ; 'These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of God ;

3:15     I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot : I would thou wert cold or hot.

THIS TYPE OF CHURCH CANNOT MAKE UP ITS MIND.

CHRIST WANT THIS CHURCH TO MAKE UP ITS OWN MIND WHO HE WOULD FOLLOW.

3:16      So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of My mouth.

BECAUSE YOU CAN'TMAKE A STAND I'LL VOMIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH.

THIS CHURCH WON'T EVEN TRY TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH.

3:17     Because thou sayest, "I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing ;" and knowest not that thou art  wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked :

3:18    I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich ; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear ; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

A FIGURE OF SPEECH.

THIS CHURCH HAS NOTHING SPIRITUALLY, AND IT NEEDS TO SEE THE LIGHT.

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

ZEALOUS = ANXIOUS.

THE ONES HE LOVES HE CHASTISES. REPENT.

GOD BLESS

THE TWO CHURCHES CHRIST IS PLEASED WITH (PART ONE)

 In the book of Revelation Jesus talks about the churches of our world.  Out of seven types of churches He only found two He was pleased with (Rev. 2 & 3).

REVELATION MEANS, "UNCOVERING", "REVEALING".

THIS BOOK REVEALS ALL THE EVENTS THAT WILL HAPPEN BEFORE CHRIST RETURNS.

What these two churches taught that other ones didn't ?  LET'S FIND OUT.

Revelation 2:1    Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write ; 'These things saith He That holdeth the seven stars in His right hand, Who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks ;

THE SEVEN STARS = THE ANGELS OF THE SEVEN CHURCHES (REV. 1:20).

THE SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS = THE SEVEN CHURCHES (REV. 1:20).

THOSE CHURCHES WERE CIRCULATED IN A CIRCLE.

THEY WERE ONLY A TYPE AND THEY PRESENT THE CHURCHES OF OUR TIME.

2:2    I know thy works, and thy labor and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil, and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars :

IN OTHER WORDS, THIS PARTICULAR CHURCH KNOW WHEN SOMEONE PRETENDS TO BE A PREACHER.

2:3    And hast borne, and hast patience, and for My name's sake hast labored, and hast not fainted.

2:4    Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

IN OTHER WORDS, I'M AGAINST YOUR CHURCH, BECAUSE YOU LEFT YOUR FIRST LOVE.

THE FIRST LOVE IS OUR FATHER, AND IN THIS CASE THE SON.  

THIS CHURCH LEFT OUT GOD'S WORD AS IT IS WRITTEN AND REPLACED IT WITH THEIR CHURCH SYSTEM. 

2:5    Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works ; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

THE FIRST WORKS = LEARNING THE LIVING WORD.

REPENT, OTHERWISE I WILL CUT YOUR PART FROM THE MANYMEMBERED BODY OF CHRIST.

2:6      But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

THE NICOLAITANES = HISTORY HAS NO RECORD OF THESE. TRADITION SAYS MUCH. THEY WILL APPEAR "IN THAT DAY".  ALL WE DO KNOW IS THAT THEY ARE HATEFUL TO GOD AND PROBABLY IDOL WORSHIPPERS.

2:7    He that hath an eat, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches ; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.'

MAKE A NOTE OF REV. 22:14.

2:8    And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write ; 'These things saith the First and the last, Which was dead, and is alive ;

FIRST = START

LAST = FINISH

2:9    I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty (but thou art rich), and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

JESUS WAS PLEASED WITH THIS CHURCH. WHY ? BECAUSE IT TEACHES ITS CONGREGATION WHO THE KENITES (SATAN'S OFFSPRING) ARE.

THE KENITES CAME TO JERUSALEM FOR PROTECTION, AND THEY ENDED UP CALLING THEMSELVES JEWS (JER. 35).

THIS CHURCH IS RICH IN PEACE OF MIND, WISDOM, AND KNOWLEDGE.

2:10    Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer : behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried ; and ye shall have tribulation ten days : be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

SOME OF THE PEOPLE OF THIS CHURCH WILL BE DELIVERED UP TO SATAN'S COUNSEL (WHEN SATAN IS HERE ON EARTH PLAYING THE ROLE OF CHRIST).  HE WILL TRY TO CONVERT THEM FOR TEN DAYS.

ONE OF SATAN'S NAMES IS DEATH (HEB. 2:14).

2:11    He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches ; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.'

THE ONES WHO OVERCOME WILL NOT BE TOUCHED BY THE SECOND DEATH, WHICH ISTHE DEATH OF YOUR SOUL.

2:12    And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write ; 'These things saith He Which hath the sharp sword with two edges ;

PERGAMOS = RAISED TO A HIGH PLACE.

THE TWO EDGED SWORD = CHRIST' TRUTH THAT CUTS BOTH WAYS.

2:13   I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is : and thou holdest fast My name, and hast not denied My faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

ANTIPAS IS A WITNESS IN FUTURE WHO WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE TRUE FATHER.  THE REST OF THE CONGREGATION OF THAT CHURCH WILL BE DECEIVED.

2:14    But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

BALAAM WAS A GOOD PROPHET BUT HE LOVED MONEY.

THIS TYPE OF CHURCH TEACHES THE WORD FOR MONEY.  

2:15    So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

IT ALSO TEACHES THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANES (PROBABLY IDOL WORSHIPPERS).

2:16    Repent ; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth.

IT WOULDN'T BE A GOOD THING IF CHRIST COMES TO DISCIPLINE YOU.

2:17     He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.'

HIDDEN MANNA = HIDDEN TRUTH.

A WHITE STONE = WHITE = PURITY.

DO NOT MISS THE NEXT STUDY ! THERE IS ONE MORE CHURCH THAT CHRIST IS PLEASED WITH.

THERE IS NO MARRIAGE IN HEAVEN

When we die we go instantly to the Father (Eccl. 12, II Cor. 5:8). There is no one who stays on the ground.

We are changed into our spiritual body instantly when we part this world (I Cor. 15:38-52) ; there is no conception, and no childbirth.

LET'S GO TO THE WORD.

Mark 12:18    Then come unto Him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection ; and they asked Him, saying,

THE SADDUCEES WERE THE ARISTOCRATIC AND CONSERVATIVE PARTY POLITICALLY ; AND DOCTRINALLY THEY NEGATIVED THE TEACHING OF THE PHARISEES, EVEN DENYING THE DOCTRINE OF THE RESURRECTION.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY DID NOT BELIEVE THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH.

12:19    "Master, Moses wrote unto us, 'If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.'

12:20    Now there were seven brethren : and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

12:21    And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed : and the third likewise.

12:22    And the seven had her, and left no seed : last of all the woman died also.

ALL THESE MEN WERE MARRIED TO HER.

12:23    In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them ? for the seven had her to wife."

WE GO TO THE FATHER INSTANTLY WHEN WE DIE.

12:24     And Jesus answering said unto them, "Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God ?

12:25    For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage ; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

WHEN WE DIE WE ARE THROUGH WITH THIS LIFE ; WE ARE LIKE THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN (NO WINGS).

Always check out the scriptures ; do not believe everything you hear even if it comes out of a pastor's mouth.

GOD BLESS

CHRIST'S GENEALOGY

 

Most people do not know the real genealogy of Christ.  They think He came through Joseph.

This is not correct ; Joseph was His step-father.  God was His Father.

LET'S GO TO THE WORD :

ROMANS 9:5     Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came,  Who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

THE FATHERS ARE THE 12 PATRIARCHS.

CHRIST CAME FROM THOSE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL.

9:6    Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect.  For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel : 

ABRAHAM WAS NOT CALLED ISRAEL ; JACOB WAS.

9:7     Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children : but "In Isaac shall thy seed be called."

CHRIST CAME FROM THE SEED OF ISAAC.

THE GENEALOGY OF MARY (JESUS' MOTHER) IS WRITTEN IN LUKE 3:23.

LUKE 3:23    And Jesus Himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli.

AS WAS SUPPOSED = AS IT WAS BY LAW. 

JOSEPH WAS BEGOTTEN BY JACOB, AND WAS HIS NATURAL SON (MATT. 1:16).  HE COULD BE THE LEGAL SON OF HELI, THEREFORE, ONLY BY MARRIAGE WITH HELI'S DAUGHTER (MARY), AND BE RECKONED SO ACCORDING TO LAW.  IT DOES NOT SAY BEGAT IN THE CASE OF HELI.

THE SON OF HELI = THE GENEALOGY OF THE IDEAL MAN BEGINS FROM HIS FATHER, AND GOES BACKWARD AS FAR AS MAY BE. THAT OF A KING BEGINS AT THE SOURCE OF HIS DYNASTY AND ENDS WITH HIMSELF.

MARY HAD NO BROTHER, THEREFORE, THE GENEALOGY ACCORDING TO THEIR LAW PASSED DOWN TO JOSEPH WHEN HE MARRIED MARY.

MARY'S FATHER WAS FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH ; MARY'S MOTHER FROM LEVI.

THEREFORE JESUS WAS FROM THE PRIESTLINE AND THE KINGLINE.
