He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:22
Jesus wrote seven letters in Revelation to seven churches, and each time he rebuked or praised them or gave them instructions on how to overcome, He closed the letter with this statement. What this means is that some will hear, and some will not hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches. We live in a time with very little Spiritual hearing, almost to the point of the churches and their members being Spiritually deaf.
Amos 8:11 states: Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: The deafness is to the point now where most of the churches are no longer wanting to or desiring to hear the Words of the LORD, They do not want to hear divine revelation directly from God, instead they cower in fear of false doctrine and having to reconsider their own indoctrinated doctrines. In other words, the spirit of fear has captivated them, and they no longer see the need for the truth of divine revelation and instead are content with their place in the kingdom.
The seven letters were written to seven churches, what that means is that in the churches of faithful believers some will hear and some will not, and never will. Some will overcome, and some never will. Some will repent and some never will.
What is it that determines who will hear?
I will leave this open ended with that question posed....
