INTRODUCTION
The Apostle John, the beloved disciple of Jesus Christ, received the Revelation of Jesus Christ while he was on the isle of Patmos. He was banished there during the reign of Emperor Domitian, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Because of John’s banishment, we have received The Revelation.
The Revelation is of a truth that was hidden, but revealed unto John through divine transmission. God is the origin. He gave the Revelation to Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the subject; He gave the Revelation to the Angel; the Angel is the messenger; he gave the Revelation to John; he gave the Revelation to the seven churches in Asia.
The churches are the light bearers of the light.
They gave the Revelation to them that believed; the believer is he that reads, hears, and keeps the word.
The Vision begins with seven churches that symbolize
the church’s history": past, present, and the future, from the ascension of Christ to the Apostate Church that becomes a lukewarm and worldliness church to end the Church Age.
The second part is about the Book of Daniel. We will use these two books, Revelation and Daniel, to have a better understanding of the Revelation of God.
Daniel has been called the prophet of dreams. God revealed to him his secrets.
Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision? One cannot understand the great signs of Revelation without looking at their meaning.
In Daniel we will only talk about the three Hebrew boy’s’ names, because we want to just take the Revelation of the dreams. Also Daniel belonged to a family of high rank; that is why he was taken captive to Babylon during the first invasion by Nebuchadnezzar at about the age of sixteen.
Daniel saw the Babylonian kingdom fall and the Medo-Persian Empire established. He held high positions under kings Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, Darius, and Cyrus.
Although Daniel was a captive he rose to be prime minister of Babylon. The wondrous thing is that he always remained true to Jehovah God.
THE MESSAGES TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES
Ephesus (Rev. 2:1-7)
The Apostle Church: From the ascension of Christ, A.D. 30, to the death of the Apostle John, A.D. 100, ’whose leaders were
Peter and Paul, its vision embraced the winning of the world to Christ.
God’s love is light and the life of mankind. To leave his love is a life of void, darkness, and death. The church of Ephesus had been doing the work and ministry of Jesus Christ but had forgotten God‘s love.
A church that moves without the love of God is a church that no longer has spiritual power, for the outward appearance is active and alive, but inwardly there is a spiritual deficiency, a lack of knowledge.
Because Jesus said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that hearth my word, and believeth in him that sent me hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto Life.
So this preacher did not believe in a spiritual death but in a lack of knowledge.
Christ appeared to Ephesus as the one who holds the Seven Stars in his right hand, which walketh in the mist of the Seven Golden Candlesticks.
He counsels them to remember why they had become spiritually deficient and in need of repentance, and to do their first works over; or else he will come quickly and will remove the candlestick out of his place.
A removed candlestick means the absence of the light of Jesus Christ. The candlestick, which is the church, is the Light
bearer.
Because without light shining, leading the way, the church is in darkness, which leads to death.
What does it profit a church, if they should gain all the things of the world, which causes the appearance of activity and life and loses The Light,
which is Jesus Christ, the only way to eternal life?
Smyrna (Rev. 2:8-11)
The Persecuted Church: From the death of the Apostle John, A.D. 100, to the edict of Constantine, A.D. 313, for seven generations, martyrs by the thousands won their crown through the axe, the wild beasts in the arena, and the fiery stake. Yet, the Christians increased until they numbered almost half of the Rome Empire.
But Smyrna has a name that means mirth; a sweet smell
had gone up before God Almighty and called it Rich.
Thou art rich, is the message given to Smyrna from the one who is the first and the last, which was dead and is alive.
Smyrna was commended for the stand taken in the spirit of Jesus Christ and also for refusing to compromise, enduring the persecution even through martyrdom, making her a rich church. Rich in the eyes of God, but poor in the eyes of those who looked on .
The church had lost its earthly possessions, and wealth. It was in a state of poverty. Although God said the church of Smyrna was rich because of its services to the good news of Jesus Christ, it had laid up
