Revelation Chapter 2
VERSE 15 “Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.”
THUS, YOU ALSO HAVE THOSE WHO HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANS.
Several lessons appear in this verse. The word THUS is important. It links this verse to the previous...
Although we only need Verse 13 here to confirm to us whom the Lord’s third messenger was nevertheless a careful consideration the whole context in which it is placed will better serve us. So, we present here, the letter to the third Church in its entirety.
Revelation Chapter 2
VERSE 12 “And to...
The Third Church and its Messenger
“The angel of the Pergamos period, extending from A.D. 313 to A.D.1157, was Arius the presbyter of Alexandria, Egypt, who first began to attract the attention of the Christian world about the year 312. His opposition to both the theory of lordship in the...
The Third Church: was Pergamos: meaning “earthly elevation”, a most appropriate name for the age in which “Christianity” is exalted throughout the empire to the point where the “Christian” leader gains powers greater than the emperor. What a change from the persecutions of Smyrna! — a change...
I had a dream last night about a mountain. In this dream there was a mountain which was covered in large and small rocks, ferns and other vegetation but I did not notice any trees. The dream was in black and white and I asked the lord if he could make it color but it did not change to color. It...
Between December 25th 2021 and January 4th 2022 I had 10 prophetic dreams and experiences. Below I will outline some of them.
Russian Submarines off the East Coast of the U.S.A
In the first dream on the 25th December I was with a man from church and we were navigating a huge container-ship...
THE SECOND TRUMPET
Revelation Chapter 8
VERSE 8 “Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood.”
There were two trends working in the Smyrna Trumpet’s period: (1) There was terrible...
THE SECOND SEAL
Revelation Chapter 6
VERSE 3 “When He (the Lord) opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come and see.”
I HEARD THE SECOND LIVING CREATURE:
The four living ones or creatures mentioned here in the first four seals represent the four attributes of...
The Second Church: was Smyrna: meaning “bitter” and is most appropriate in light of the persecutions which characterized the era.
An Important Preface to the Smyrna Period
“Brethren are not all historians, and the histories of the periods which cover the Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, and Sardis...
I can truly say that my time at the gym is working well but it can be difficult to be consistent when it's cold in the mornings or when you just don't want to go... :jest:
I have lost about 12 kgs so far and am much fitter than I was last month and a completely different person from when I...
I have always had a desire to play the guitar but it never quite eventuated. I can play but it’s very basic. This was due to a set of circumstances that gave me the idea that perhaps, this is not the right instrument for me.
My first guitar was bought with my first week wages as a teen and it...
Last night I went to bed listening to the book of Exodus. I am blown away by the way God had set plans in place to help his beloved people before a great famine took ahold and covered the whole world. Plans that would continue his line in which the savior of the world was to come through...
Revelation Chapter 8
VERSE 2 “And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets.”
Here again is one of those re-focus markers which John uses so effectively viz. AND I SAW.
Had those who provided chapters and verses recognized this, Chapter 8 would have...
THE FIRST SEAL continued.
As further evidence that although the first church possessed the white horse (the pure doctrine of Christ) in its possession, nevertheless those who were soon to be riding (controlling and directing) this doctrine were already aspiring to do so.
“The apostle Paul...
THE FIRST SEAL
Revelation Chapter 6
VERSE 1 and 2 “Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, “Come and see. And I looked, and behold, a white horse. He who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him...
The Seven angels of the Seven Churches
The first Church: was Ephesus: meaning “First” or “desirable” this period covered the time in which the apostles lived beginning at Pentecost 33 A.D. to about 100 A.D.
“The angel of this Church is the Apostle Paul who wrote the greater part of the New...
The History of the Gospel Age Church
The importance of history cannot be overestimated most especially as it pertains to the history of the Gospel age church. Unfortunately, the vast majority of professed Christians have little or no knowledge of church history. They may know something about...
As stated in our previous post before we delve into the history of each of the seven churches and their respective angels, we would first like to ask,
What are the qualifications for being one of the Seven Angels?
The following excerpt comes to us from the New Albany Notes on Revelation...
The foregoing vision given Zechariah confirms what we were discussing in our previous post concerning the divine channels chosen to dispense the truth to the household of faith.
In the narrative found in (Zech 4:1-14), Zechariah was given another vision by the angel of the Lord, and the angel...
