Thanks again for your input....one reason I compare the 7 churches to today and the timing pointing to His return is because the Revelation was given to Jesus by God, the 7 stars are the 7 angels assigned to each church, the 7 candlesticks are the 7 churches....this gives the reader the idea...

I like what you have shared. Thank you for your insight into this study. Line upon line, precept upon precept. Much has been shared by many here, and I believe all have contributed wisdom and knowledge that brings understanding to the scriptures. You have brought another point to consider and...

Thanks for your reply. What do you suggest is the purpose of addressing the 7 churches in the Revelation of Jesus given to Him by God?

What truth does the Holy Spirit teach? His Word. Why are you so bound up about doctrine? It's about Jesus that should be the focus. About our Father reconciling us to Him through the Blood of Jesus. Doctrine can be misconstrued by man....the message of salvation through Christ cannot be...

I am not so certain you comprehend what I am saying.

Yes, you are correct. But they are being judged (purged) and giving opportunity to repent before the final judgment.

The whole Word of God is what I stand on allowing the Holy Spirit to guide me and teach me into all truth.

I feel it is more of symbolizing her power as becoming dry bones....her head once crowned with authority is dead, her hands that killed the prophets is dead, her feet that was swift to spread her message is dead. And there is no rest for her because no one laid her body in a proper burial. She...

Hence the church that can deal with this Jezebel will be the church that honors God's prophets and heeds their warning...IMHO. The church of Power! The church of the seasoned saints!

True...but the Jezebel the church today has to face is cunning and tries to usurp her authority over the head of the church claiming to be His prophet who hears from God and leads the entire congregation into sexual immorality and to eat unclean meat sacrificed to idols. We are already seeing...

Jezebel had already ordered all prophets to be killed.

Something else comes to mind about the 7 churches...when will the time of refreshing, restoration occur. Possibly after judgment and repentance...

He still had human weakness to fear.

Yes...aren't we to judge ourselves first so that we might repent...same as the church...a self examination so to speak...and given the opportunity to repent. Basically what I am referring to.

Wow, awesome insight.

This is what I stated earlier...after His judgment on the church what's left? Harvest time. So I find in ch 14 the sickle being thrust and the harvest of grapes....what's the difference? And on top of that it seems to be out of order. Like this should follow the judgment of the churches...Still...

Your preaching to the choir. I have been squashed to the point I don't share much in that regard. But hey, the Holy Spirit has given me a new hope in a book called Understanding Prophetic People. It's a good read...even Colin would enjoy it. Might help him understand himself better. It did me.

Thanks for your input . I agree. As I stated in my OP the Holy Spirit instructed me to study Revelation. So I see something new right off the bat and considered its purpose for seeing it now as compared to past studies of it. I have already gained a treasure of knowledge through others here aa...

One side note....I try not to expect anything from anyone concerning their agreement or disagreement with anything I have shared. Thanks for sharing your personal knowledge of Colin as heads up!:)

He certainly has alot of knowledge about what is in the bible to consider for belief. I wasn't attacking but rather suggesting.
