Revelation
Chapter
3
{Church
at Sardis - verses 1-6 (Church 5 of 7}
1~~And
to the messenger {future pastor}
of
the church in Sardis write,
"He
{Jesus}
Who
has the seven Spirits {the power system of Chapter 1}, and
the
seven stars {orthodox ICE teachers}
communicates
these things,
I
have known your accomplishments {Christian Modus Operendi},
namely that you have a reputation
that
you are alive {allegedly living in the divine dynasphere},
but
{in spite of the reputation}
you
are dead {Cosmic Death - carnality}."
{Note:
There are 8 types of deaths mentioned in the bible: physical,
spiritual, experiential, positional, sexual, 2nd death and cosmic.
The eighth is the sin unto death.}
{Jesus'
warning to the ICE pastors that others in the congregation are being
influenced by the 'leaven' and also may fall into cosmic death with
the large group in verse 1}
2~~"BE
CONSTANTLY ALERT . . . and
strengthen/stabilize/support
the
remnant {those still with positive volition} . . .
who
were about to die {cosmic death} . . .
for
I have not found your accomplishments
completed/
fulfilled/executed in the sight of My God."
{The
Alternative - Historical Downtrend}
3~~"Therefore
remember {recall to mind}
what
you have received {application of doctrine to life's situations} and
heard {positive volition - hearing the Word} and
guard
it {by living in the divine dynasphere} and
use
the rebound technique {repent/change of mind}.
If
therefore you are not alert - maybe you will, maybe you won't -
I
{Jesus} will come {with divine punishment}
on
you suddenly {like a thief - when least expected},
in
fact you will definitely not know
what
point of time {a limited portion of time/hour}
I
will come to you {for punishment}."
4~~"But
you have a few persons
in
Sardis {a pivot of mature believers}
who
have not soiled their clothes
{Uniform of Honor who for winners is unsullied in time};
in
fact, they shall walk with me in whites {plural}
because
they are worthy
{honorees of the Order of the Morning Star}."
{Note:
The winners only wear a Uniform of Light or Uniform of Honor/Glory!
This will be worn by winners with the Order of the Morning Star.}
5~~
"Thus the winner
shall
be clothed in white garments
{translucent shinning light covering} and
I
will never blot his name/order
of
chivalry {the 'new name' given in heaven -the knighthood}
out
of the book of life . . . in fact,
I
{Jesus} will acknowledge
his
name/order of chivalry
{presentation of the Morning Star winners in the court of heaven}
in
the presence of My Father, and
before
His angels."
{Note:
Winners will receive a 'white pebble' (resurrection body) just like
all believers. But for the winners only, they will have a new name, a
knighthood, the Order of the Morning Star (like the Medal of Honor),
a garment of translucent light. And, they will rule with Christ for
1000 years in the millennium, eat of the tree of lives in the garden
of God (paradise in the third heaven, and be given so much more than
we could ever hope or dream.}
6~~"He
who has an ear {every body} . . .
let
him hear {positive volition to the Word}
what
sort of thing {content of doctrine}
the
Spirit communicates to the churches."
{Church
at Philadelphia - verses 7-13 (Church 6 of 7}
7~~And
to the messenger {future pastor}
of
the church in Philadelphia write,
"The
Holy One {Jesus Christ - with reference to His Integrity}
the
Truthful/Trustworthy One
Who
keeps on having the key of David {authority to Rule Israel},
He
Who opens {the door} and
no
one can shut {it} and
He
Who shuts and
no
one will open {Isaiah 22:22}
communicates
these things . . .
{3
explanations of the 'Open Door'}
8~~"I
{the Lord is speaking to John}
have
known your accomplishments/production
{Christian Motus Operendi}
NOW
HERE THIS,
I
have placed before you
an
open door {of opportunity for historical impact and
to
bring Glory to the Lord}
which
{door} no one is able to shut it.
Because,
in the first place,
you
have/possess a little time {mikros - logistical grace} and
power
{the power system in the divine dynasphere}
secondly,
you keep/guard
My
Doctrine/Word {doctrine is first priority and then perception and
application of doctrine to life's situations}
and,
thirdly,you have not denied/repudiated/renounced
My
Person/Name {through reversionism}."
{Note:
Mikros is a verbal accusative of time. And, compared with eternity,
our time on the earth is little.}
9~~"NOW
HERE THIS,
I
{Jesus} will cause {Jesus Christ controls history}
those
who are of the synagogue of Satan,
who
allege/contend/proclaim
that
they themselves are Jews
but
in spite of that allegation
they
are not but are liars . . .
NOW
HERE THIS,
I
will cause that they should come
{after their conversion} and
express
their respect at your feet . . . also
that
they might know
that
I have loved you."
10~~"Because
you have guarded/maintained/
kept
the doctrine
which
came by means of
My
perseverance {church age doctrine resulting from Jesus living in
the prototype divine dynasphere}.
I
also will guard you {protective wall of fire for the believer in the
divine dynasphere}
from
the time of testing {historical disaster},
which
is about to come
upon
all the inhabited Earth
{refers to the Roman Empire of the day of writing} . . .
to
test {for quality - good or bad}
those
who live on the earth. "
11~~"I
{Jesus} come quickly {to punish and warn the Mature
Believer in the cosmic system}.
Hang
on to what you have
{as a Mature believer avoid reversionism}
in
order that no one
takes
away {leads you away from the constant intake of doctrine -
a person or thing is put above doctrine}
your
wreath/crown."
{Note:
By reaching Gate 8 you earn the Crown of Life, so we are discussing
Mature Believers here - the winners - and you can lose this crown by
falling into reversionism.}
{Escutcheon
of Glory -Coat of Arms of the Winner Believer-Chivalry}
12~~
"The winner {subject of this verse}
I
{Jesus} will make him
a
pillar in the temple of My God {historical record room}
furthermore,
he will NEVER
vanish
{from history - very emphatic in the Greek}.
Also,
I {Jesus} will emblazon {inscribe a heraldry} on him
the
Title of My God {1-the Dexter} . . . also
the
'new in species' {kainos - Eternal Jerusalem}
which
shall descend
from
the immediate source of heaven
from
the ultimate source of My God
{2-the middle - operates as a 'pass into' the New in Species
Jerusalem}
also
{emblazoned on him} My new name
{3 - the Sinister - the Royal Patent/Title of our Lord Jesus Christ
is engraved because he served the Lord faithfully in time}. "
{Note:
In the time the bible was written, the historical testimonies of the
kings and other great men were carved into the temples of the heathen
false gods. For example, in Corinth there were hundreds of pillars,
one for each king who contributed to the building of the temple. On
the pillar was written the deeds of this king and the pillar was
adorned with priceless artifacts. In heaven there will be a permanent
historical record room. On each pillar will be inscribed the
activities of the invisible heroes of today and then their known
accomplishments as they rule with Christ for 1000 years in the
Millenium. SideNote: In Jeremiah 17:13 those who forsake God and His
Word have their names only written in dust!}
{Note:
The second part of the verse describes the 'coat of arms' that will
be inscribed on the Winner Believer. This is similar to the shield of
the knights where the knight's shield was used to indicate his honors
and used as a pass to enter many cities. This is a three-part
inscription. The right side (Dexter) is inscribed with the Name of
God the Father - the Author of the Plan. This indicates the winner
honorably living in the plan of God. The middle part (middle) is the
pass for this herald/knight to enter the New Jerusalem of the
millenium. The left (sinister - from the Latin meaning left-handed)
side will have the New Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.}
{Note:
Kainos is the Greek work for new in species NOT new in time. There
will be a 'new in time' Jerusalem of the millenium. But this
Jerusalem is 'new in species'. This is the Jerusalem of eternity
future and they are different. In this Jerusalem is the tree of lives
where maximum happiness will be known for the Winner believer. This
Jerusalem will be suspended in the air maybe a 1000 miles high. It
has no gates, but only winner believers can enter. The new in time
Jerusalem of the millenium has the pearly gate and streets of gold.
It is on earth and will last 1000 years. This Jerusalem will have
access from all believers and unbelievers alike who exit in the 1000
year reign of Christ.}
13~~"He
who has an ear {every body}
let
him hear {positive volition to the Word}
what
sort of thing {content of doctrine}
the
Spirit communicates to the churches."
{Church
at Laodicea - verses 14-22 (Church 7 of 7}
**************
{Verses
14-22 is actually the last part of the epistle to the Laodiceans at
the end of Colossians 4. Paul
addressed the end of the Colossian epistle to the Laodiceans who were
the people next to the Colossians - the Laodiceans and specifically
its pastor Archippus. The Lord Jesus is communicating the following}
**************
14~~
And to the messenger {future pastor}
of
the church in Laodicea {Archippus} write,
"The
One Who is the object of faith {'the Amen'},
the
witness of God {of Who and What God is},
the
faithful and dependable One,
the
originating source
of
the act of creation {Jesus created the universe}
from
the God . . .
communicates
these things."
{An
efficiency rating from Jesus for the church at Laodicea}
15~~
"I know your situation {Archippus's rating - not good},
that
you are neither cold {an unbeliever}
nor
boiling hot {message NOT addressed to mature believers}."
"I
WISH YOU WERE cold or hot!"
{Note:
This last part is very strong in the Greek - cold is fixed easily -
believe on Jesus. Hot is the goal. Lukewarm is a problem to fix!
'Lukewarm' refers to believers who have gone astray from doctrine and
are in reversionism.}
16~~
"So then because you are lukewarm {reversionism}, and neither
cold nor hot,
I
{Jesus} will vomit you out of My mouth {sin unto death}."
17~~
"Because you say,
'I
am a rich one, and
increased
with goods
{stopped taking in doctrine yet riches grew}, and
have
need of nothing {so they think}.'
You
do not even know
you
are wretched, and
pity-able,
and
poor,
and
blind,
and
naked
{spiritually speaking}."
