Revelation 2:1-7 Ephesus - The Backslidden (Loveless) Church 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; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, 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: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 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. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that...

To Him That Overcometh There are wondrous rewards that the Bible has promised, There are precious crowns that are waiting to be won - But all the blessings that the Lord has offered, Are for those who are trusting by faith in God's Son. There's a world system that is risen up against us, Controlled by that wicked spirit, Satan, that hates our Lord; There's a spiritual battle for our souls that is raging - But to give in to defeat or compromise we can't afford. To be an overcomer means you trust the Saviour that has died; Upon your account of sin, His precious blood has been applied; When you place your faith in Jesus Christ and His death on Calvary, His Spirit dwells within your heart, and you've been given life eternally. To him that overcometh this world, Jesus will give to eat of the tree of Life; He will also give him the hidden manna, and peace in the midst of strife; There are crowns for the faithful - rewards for those who love His return, And His Word and Hi...

Revelation Chapters 2-3 - The Things Which Are: Introduction To The Seven Churches In the book of Revelation, we see seven distinct judgements: 1) Chapters 2-3 - the churches 2) Chapters 6-16 - the unsaved nations 3) Chapters 17-18 - Mystery Babylon 4) Chapter 19 - Armies at Armageddon, Antichrist, false prophet 5) Chapter 20:1-3, 7-10 - Satan 6) Chapter 20:4-6 - the world (Jesus’ millennial reign) 7) Chapter 20:11-15 - the wicked dead (Great White Throne Judgement) In chapters 2-3, we see God judging His own people first, before judging the world. This is often the case we find in the Scriptures - first God judges or corrects His people, then the nations surrounding them. We can see that clearly in the book of Isaiah. Chapters 1-12 are the Lord's correction of the nation of Israel (both the Southern and the Northern Kingdoms, Judah and Ephraim as it was later called), then in chapters 13-23, we see God judging all the nations surrounding His people in the Promised Land; then las...

Revelation Chapter One – The Things Which Thou Hast Seen Revelation 1:1.   The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John: Verse 1: The Revelation of Jesus Christ: The word “ Revelation ” is the Greek word, apokalypsis . This is Strong’s #602, which is defined as: “from 601; disclosure: — appearing, coming, lighten, manifestation, be revealed, revelation.” Strong’s #601 is defined as: “apokalyptō; to take off the cover, i.e. disclose: — reveal.” As we can see, these underlying words are where we get our word Apocalypse from. Unlike the secular definition of apocalypse, which is basically utter destruction and the end of everything we know, this term actually refers to the unveiling and revealing of the Lord Jesus Christ when He comes back to judge this sin-cursed world. Yes, there will be destruction as this ungodly world undergoes the wrath...
